Commentary:  Swami Krishnananda. ================================================================================================== Chapter 6: The Nature of the Mind:  Slogam Slogas-4. यथात्मनः कृमिः कोशे बध्यतेऽन्तस्तथा नरः । संसाराख्यमहाजाले सङ्कल्पैर्वासनागणैः ॥४॥ 4. Just as a silkworm is caught in its own cocoon, so also man is caught in this vast net of Samsara by his own Sankalpas and Vasanas. The conception that the prison of life of the individual is self-built is brought out by the example of the self-imprisoning of the silkworm with its cocoon which it itself winds around its body. Further escape from the jail becomes difficult. The Jiva winds round itself the cocoon of love for separation from the Eternal Tru...

Life is a Continuity: There is a continuity, which is life, of which we are a part, and we are not just X, Y, Z or A, B, C sitting here; it is not like that. If we open our eyes to fact, we will be surprised that we have been living a foolhardy life up to this time, and now the time has come when we have to be serious. Our time is short, and there is so much to learn, and a lot to achieve. Obstacles are too many, and we have no time to wool-gather, sleep or while away our time as if there is eternity before us. We cannot take things lightly. Life is precious. We cannot take it as a joke. Every mo...

Swami Krishnananda. (Spoken on November 26, 1972) ================================================================================================== The world is a scientific principle by itself. It is not meant for our enjoyment or for our hatred. It has an independence of its own, and we have to look upon the world as it is, and not as it appears. This knowledge is called sankhya, which is the subject of the Second Chapter of the Bhagavadgita. The sankhya to which Bhagavan Sri Krishna refers in the Second Chapter is the knowledge of the scientific nature of things, free from the emotional attitudes we have towards them. While emotion may lead us to love and hatred, the scientific attitude leads us to knowledge and understanding. This is sankhya tattva, and acting on the basis of this under...
