Books Bhagavadgita & Hinduism The Spiritual Import of the Mahabharatham and the Bhagavadgita: 2.2. Swami Krishnananda Chapter 2: Challenges of the Spiritual Seeker -2. ==================================================================================================== The jiva principle within us has the double characteristic of mortality and immortality. We are mortals and immortals at the same time. It is the mortal element in us that causes sorrow when it comes in contact with the immortal urge, that seeks its own expression in its own manner. There is a tremendous friction, as it were, taking place between the subjective feelings and the objective cosmos. No one can know the strength of the universe. The mind cannot imagine it, and we are trying to overstep it. We can stretch our imagination and try to bring to our memories what could be the ma...

Control the senses. Sit quietly. Meditate always "I am Sat-Chit-Ananda Swayamprakasha Brahman" which is the substratum for these five sheaths and the whole world. Keep up the Brahma-Bhava while walking, eating and bathing. The method of meditation on Brahman alwa...

Books Bhagavadgita & Hinduism The Spiritual Import of the Mahabharatham and the Bhagavadgita: 2.1. Swami Krishnananda Chapter 2: Challenges of the Spiritual Seeker -1. ==================================================================================================== The power of sadhana does not gain adequate confidence until divine powers collaborate with it, and God Himself seems to be at the back of the seeker of God. We have been noting a great epic symbol in the Mahabharata, wherein we are given the narration of the adventure of the spirit in its struggle for ultimate freedom. The wilderness of the forest life that the Pandavas had to undergo is a great lesson to the spiritual seeker. No one can escape the ups and downs of life, the vicissitudes of time through which the ancient sages and saints have passed; everyone ...

Books Scriptures Bhagavadgita & Hinduism Commentary on the Bhagavadgita: 3.2. Discourse 3: The Second Chapter Begins – Sanhkya Yoga Swami Krishnananda. ==================================================================================================== Without going into further details of this complex subject, we may conclude that we are essentially consciousness. This consciousness is the chaitanya shakti, or the chaitanya purusha, which is indivisibly present, and not divisible under any circumstance. The Sankhya takes up the stand on the presence of an indivisible consciousness it calls purusha in its own terminology. The essence of the matter is that consciousness is indivisible, and it cannot be cut into pieces. There cannot be a fraction of consciousness, because any assumption of it being possible to divide consciousness into parts wou...
