A Study of the Bhagavadgita: Chapter 11: Beholding God as He Beholds Himself - 2. Swami Krishnananda Post-68. ============================================================================================================================================== Suppose you die in this condition with unfulfilled desires buried inside like a thick cloud. They will germinate into action under different conditions altogether, and that would be your future fate. As seeds in barren ground look dead because there is no water and manure but can suddenly come alive, become tendrils and plants when rain falls on them, so these karmas germinate into action. Not a single desire of yours will go unfulfilled – if not today, then tomorrow, or after any amount of time. Time is endless, space is vast; therefore, there is infinite possibility ...

Books Srimad Bhagavad Gita Commentary on the Bhagavadgita: 2-6. Discourse 2: The First Chapter – Visada Yoga, the Yoga of the Dejection of the Spirit-6. Swami Krishnananda ============================================================================================================================================== Whether to renounce the world or not renounce the world—who told us what is to be done? Has anybody told us that it is necessary to renounce the world? Something has been told to us by our elders. Something is told in some scripture. Is it because of the statement of some book that we are trying to kick the world out? Or have we got any actual reason for it? Is there a rational ground for our feeling that the world has to be renounced? I think very few people will give an answer to this question: What is th...

The Moksha Gita: by Swami Sivananda: Commentary: 2.3. Chapter 2: The Nature of Brahman -3. Swami Krishnananda. ======================================================================================================================================================= Slogam-8: "Brahman is distinct from the gross, subtle and causal bodies. He is the soul of all. He is the Inner Ruler of all. He is eternally free. He is without action, and without motion." The three bodies are the layers of unconsciousness that envelop the Light of the glorious Self. The causal body is the immediate and the subtlest and hence the most powerful of the layers of ignorance. It is the state of forgetfulness of the Self, where there is darkness and blindness of the soul, and the soul is left there in a state of unconsciousness ...

Books Srimad Bhagavad Gita A Short History of Religious and Philosophic Thought in India: 1.2 1. INTRODUCTION-2. Swami Krishnananda. =================================================================================================================================================== The Bhagavadgita is a part of the Mahabharata and thus occurs in the context of an Epic, and so it is called a smriti (secondary revelation), as distinguished from the sruti (primary revelation), which are the Vedas and the Upanishads. Yet, the Gita plays a unique role in the history of religious and philosophic thought. The Upanishads are like an extensive forest ranging over a wide area and covering almost everything which may be said to be of the nature of reality. The Bhagavadgita is, on the other hand, a kind of garden of se...
