Swami Chinmayananda: November 27 at 4:41PM ·  A devotee asked Gurudev that she been disappointed in her life by everyone on whom she has poured love on. Swipe to read the response from the master himself. ================================================================================= Saturday 30, November 2024, 06:30. Article Scriptures The Bhagavadgita in a Nutshell: 2. Swami Krishnananda. (Spoken on November 3rd, 1973.) ================================================================================ The answer of Bhagavan Sri Krishna to this question is that motive behind the action is very important. It is the motive determines the worth, value and consequence of an action. The intention behind a deed is very important, and the deed itself is not all. But that is not the whole truth about the matter. We cannot simply have an intention and be rid of all activity. The difficulty with us is that inaction is impossible for the embodied being. Our body, our personality, our individ...

Swami Krishnananda Post-58. =================================================================================== In the earlier stages, it is very hard to even carry on this concept of concentration. Have a concrete picture of God before you. There are people who keep a picture of   Lord Krishna, Devi or Durga, Narayana, Vishnu, or Siva. There are people who meditate on the Cosmic Being as represented in these forms because there is no way to adjust the mind to a total abstraction in the beginning itself. Hence, there is a portrait of this Great Master. Here is the Great Being portrayed in a particular form as an incarnation at least, though not in that Absolute form.

================================================================================= Sunday 24, November 2024, 06:45. Article Scriptures The Bhagavadgita in a Nutshell: 2. Swami Krishnananda. (Spoken on November 3rd, 1973.) ================================================================================== “If understanding is superior, well, I will understand and keep quiet. Why do you want me to work? And if work is all that is essential, why comes understanding?” This quandary, this doubt which was in the mind of Arjuna, is in the mind of every one of us. This is the great war between knowledge and action, jnana and karma, as it is usually put. Everywhere this war goes on, and even now it is not ending. Some say jnana is supreme, some say karma is supreme, some say knowledge is needed for moksha, others say work is also necessary, and some say neither of them is sufficient and both have to be combined. There are so many confusions. The answer Bhagavan Sri Krishna gives to this question ...
