Severing the Root of this Tree of Life:2 Swami Krishnananda.  ============================================================================================ Take the lowest minimum, the irreducible minimum of content of thought, as the foundation of the development of your ideas, and gradually raise the structure of thought until you reach what he calls the Absolute Idea. The Absolute Idea is the idea of there being such a thing called the Absolute, the one not being separable from the other. Your idea of the existence of the Absolute is inseparable from the content thereof. This idea, which is so vast, has to get tagged on to the idea of the external object called the universe. Then there is a necessity for the union of this idea of the Absolute with the content thereof, namely, the physical universe. This...

Swami Krishnananda. ==================================================================================== The seeker on the spiritual path is described in the First Chapter of the Bhagavadgita, Arjuna being made the spokesman of this occasion. The field of battle is the field of life. The things that we want to do in this world are the confrontations before us, and our wisdom will be judged by the manner in which we deal with these situations.

Article Scriptures The Rasa Pancha-Adhyai of the Srimad Bhagavata Maha Puranam: 6. Swami Krishnananda. (Spoken on April 28, 1985) ====================================================================================== And it is not a linear movement in a single direction towards God. The Rasa Panchadhyayi does not simply take for granted that love of God is a simple affair, that we can just cling to a thing and it is over. It is a widespread, inner operation which is a great drama within itself. A dramatic performance is the Rasa, and it is a dramatic performance of our life also when we are in the height of affection, when we are flooded with love, wherein we are that which we love. There is a sense of coming and going, attraction and repulsion in the operation of love. This is felt in human loves, and also in divine love in a different context. The lover and the b...

Swami Krishnananda. =================================================================================================== 5. When one gets knowledge of the Self, this Avidya vanishes. It is the destruction of Avidya that is the Brahmic-seat. Avidya no more appears when one acquires the wisdom of the Truth. It exists only until the melting away of egoism. When love for life is broken, when the will to live, the Abhinivesha or the clinging to personal endurance is frustrated by Vicharana and contemplation, when the powers of the mind are turned inward and utilised in building the counter-construction of the imagination of the reverse order, the vexation of existence in limited bodies comes to an end. The realization ...
