Srimad Bhagavad - Gita

 ========================================================================= ======================================================================== Thursday, October 20,  2022. 07:00. Discourse 50: The Eighteenth Chapter Continues – Knowing One's Duty-6. ========================================================================= Bhaktyā mām abhijānāti yāvān yaś cāsmi tattvataḥ (18.55):  The Lord says, “A true devotee knows what kind of person I am, what kind of Reality I am.” This means knowing what God is, what God does, what is the characteristic of God, and what one actually attains after reaching God. All these things will become clear when the devotion intensifies. Then, one enters into the Absolute. Tato māṁ tattvato jñātvā viśate tadanantaram: Knowing God as He is in Himself is a precondition necessary to enter into God. A conceptual appreciation of God's existence is different from an appreciation of His Existence as He is in Himself. This is possible only if you to...

 ========================================================================= ======================================================================== Wednesday, October 19, 2022. 08:30. Chapter 27: The Practice of Meditation-3. ====================================================================== What kind of seat can we have?  It is plainly said in this verse that it should be a three-layered seat. We can have a deerskin, we can have a grass mat, we can have a piece of cloth. It is mentioned that on the top there may be a cloth, then there may be a deerskin or some such thing, then a grass mat. The kusha is a sacred grass, and a mat made out of it is referred to here. The idea behind this statement is esoteric, namely that the seat should be such that it is not a conductor of electricity. It should be a non-conductor of electricity. Why is this specific caution? When we meditate, an energy is generated in the body. If the meditation is carried on properly, sincerely, for a pro...

========================================================================= ========================================================================= Saturday, October 15, 2022. 09:30. Chapter 27: The Practice of Meditation-2. ======================================================================== Even while sitting, what posture will you assume? There are standard postures prescribed. Padmasana, siddhasana, sukhasana are the usually selected standard poses. It is up to each person to select the posture according to one's convenience. The kind of posture one chooses should be such that it will not cause unnecessary mental attention on any particular part of the body. The very purpose of concentrating the mind in yoga is to lift it above body consciousness as much as possible. The balance maintained in the seated posture will enable the mind not to think of the body too much, just as when we are perfectly balanced in health we are not even aware that we have a body. Only when we have...

He wanted to conquer the whole world, and had no peace of mind even for a single day unless he had somebody to conquer. He went on warring with all people, and one day he found there was no one to fight with because he had overcome everybody in the world. But still he was restless: "I have nothing ...
