Severing the Root of this Tree of Life:4. Swami Krishnananda.  ===================================================================================== Bondage consists in a type of movement of the mind. We can create bondage within our mind even inside our room because the mind is not inside the room. It is not even inside the body. It is an ethereal, unintelligible, all-pervading medium, and that is why it cannot be controlled, even as we cannot control the wind. How can we control a tempest or a cyclone or a tornado? Likewise is the hardship involved in the control of the mind. The mind is connected to everything everywhere, and to detach the mind from objects would be to withdraw it from everything. In the system of yoga propounded by Patanjali, an analysis of the mind is made towards the achievement of...

Swami Krishnananda ===================================================================================== The Bhagavadgita is the great gospel which Bhagavan Sri Krishna spoke. Historically speaking, many many years ago, under a special context of the Mahabharata, the great epic which, as you perhaps already know, is an epic of life as a whole. The question which this great text tries to solve and answer is the question of life of man. Your life in this world is a great question mark before you. What are you? Who are you? What is it that is expected of you and what is it that you expect from this world? These are questions before us and we may not be able to answer these questions off-hand. Where are we seated now? We have a simple glib answer which may not be the correct answer. I will ...

The Guru said: This universe of names and forms has its origin in ignorance. It is dissolved by knowledge of the Self. The universe, being other than the Self, is unreal like a dream. It is like a mirage. The universe is a big house of disconnected family-members. Though it is in fact a "universe," it appears as a "multiverse" due to the differences in the natures of its contents. Every living organism possesses such ch...

Severing the Root of this Tree of Life:3 Swami Krishnananda.  ===================================================================================== Note: "The Bhagavad Gita discusses the concept of Varnashrama, not as a rigid caste system based on birth, but as a system of social organization based on individual qualities and duties. Krishna explains that the four varnas (Brahmana, Kshatriya, Vaishya, and Shudra) are created based on "guna" (qualities) and "karma" (actions). While the Gita acknowledges the existence of these divisions, it emphasizes that one can attain liberation (Moksha) through fulfilling one's prescribed duties (Swadharma) within their respective varna, regardless of their birth" ================================================================================...
