Chapter 4: The Struggle for the Infinite - 5. ========================================================================= Now, we are ready for that, really. Suddenly we say, “We renounce father and mother, renounce every connection with the world. We shall have nothing to do with people. We seek God.” We move from one place to another place in this very world, and satisfy ourselves that the renunciation is complete. The great renunciation which the Bhagavadgita speaks of is not this much merely. It is not just a coming away from California to the Himalayas. It is a different thing altogether, which would not be easy for all people to understand; and if it had been so easy we would not be bungling in our spiritual life in the way we do every day. Arjuna could not grasp it, and how can we grasp it? We stumble into the same rut of thinking in spite of all our arguments and abiliti...

========================================================================= Friday, January 27,  2023. 07:30. Chapter 4: The Struggle for the Infinite - 4. ========================================================================= There is a very interesting story. Narayana and Lakshmi were seated in Vaikuntha. Lakshmi cast a glance over the whole world and saw a pig wallowing in a mire, eating rubbish. She was really sorry. She told Narayana, “What is this creation of yours? If you wish, you can give salvation to anyone in a moment; and this is the compassion that you have! Look at this poor pig. Can you not bring it back to Vaikuntha? Why does it stink in mire?” Narayana said, “It does not want to come. If it does not want to come, what can I do?” “Oh, who will not want to come to Vaikuntha, the glorious paradise?” Lakshmi said. “But I tell you, it does not want to come,” said Narayana. Lakshmi again said, “Impossible! No one with sense will dislike to come to the glorious heaven of...

========================================================================= Tuesday, January 24,  2023. 08:00. Chapter 4: The Struggle for the Infinite - 3. ========================================================================= But though we appear to be living in a terribly difficult atmosphere, impossible to understand, and more difficult to live in, there is something in us which compels us to get on in this world, notwithstanding the environment that is around us which threatens us every moment of time with consequences dire. All this does not matter; we, somehow or the other, wish to live, even if it be in hell itself. We wish to live here. The desire to live in hell is to be explained. The explanation comes only from something mysterious within us which does not belong to this phenomenal world, and which we cannot understand with the phenomenal mind, understanding, or reason. We are between the devil and deep sea, pulling us in different directions—something telling us somet...

========================================================================= Saturday, January 21,  2023. 07:00. Chapter 4: The Struggle for the Infinite - 2. ========================================================================= Man is never said to be, but is always said to become. We do not remain in ourselves continuously even for a few minutes. As the Buddha said in his wondrous message, everything is transitory, everything is momentary, everything is like a link connecting itself with another link. There is a procession of events, and there is nothing existent. If we are part and parcel of this transitional universe, there can be nothing truly existent in us. This is perhaps the reason why the Buddhist philosophers denied that there is such a thing as the self, by which we have to understand the transitional self, the empirical self which we regard ourselves to be in our poor understanding of the nature of things. We regard ourselves as a psychophysical complex—the body and t...
