This morning, I was listening to Prabhupada, and he was talking about how there are different kinds of liberated souls: "muktānām api siddhānāṁ nārāyaṇa-parāyaṇaḥ su-durlabhaḥ praśāntātmā koṭiṣv api mahā-mune (SB 6.14.5).' There are millions and millions of sages and different kinds of people who have achieved liberation through knowledge. They've seen the impersonal Brahman and Paramatma. But it's the most rare that someone can understand Bhagavan -Kṛṣṇa. And it's only by association with pure devotees, He said, that only by understanding Bhagavan is there Ananda. When you have that relationship, you know you have a relationship. And then Prabhupada named the different relationships you could have: as a parent, as a lover, as a friend, as a servitor. Then he started saying, you could be the water in Vrindavan. And he was talking about how, once you have that relationship, then that ānanda is unlimited. It's not like, he said, in the material world, we think ānanda comes from some temporary pleasure, but that, he said, only lasts for a few minutes. So intelligent people, 'ye hi saṁsparśajā bhogā' they don't appreciate it at all. The sages, he said: 'ramante yogino 'nante satyānande cid-ātmani iti rāma-padenāsau paraṁ brahmābhidhīyate (CC Madhya 9.29).' That those who understand that real pleasure comes from Rama, association with Kṛṣṇa, that's the real happiness, and they don't need anything else. Once they taste that ānanda of Kṛṣṇa, then every other kind of pleasure is insignificant for them. ------------------------------------------------------------ To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/ https://www.bbtacademic.com/books/ https://thefourquestionsbook.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Join us live on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FanTheSpark/ Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sound-bhakti/id1132423868 For the latest videos, subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@FanTheSpark For the latest in SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/fan-the-spark ------------------------------------------------------------ #spiritualawakening #soul #spiritualexperience #spiritualpurposeoflife #spiritualgrowthlessons #secretsofspirituality #vaisesikaprabhu #vaisesikadasa #vaisesikaprabhulectures #spirituality #bhaktiyoga #krishna #spiritualpurposeoflife #krishnaspirituality #spiritualusachannel #whybhaktiisimportant #whyspiritualityisimportant #vaisesika #spiritualconnection #thepowerofspiritualstudy #selfrealization #spirituallectures #spiritualstudy #spiritualquestions #spiritualquestionsanswered #trendingspiritualtopics #fanthespark #spiritualpowerofmeditation #spiritualteachersonyoutube #spiritualhabits #spiritualclarity #bhagavadgita #srimadbhagavatam #spiritualbeings #kttvg #keepthetranscendentalvibrationgoing #spiritualpurpose

#269 Enlightenment - Is It All One?

In this continuation of the wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita series, we address the question “Is it all one?” examining whether various spiritual paths all lead to the same destination, and whether the goal of a spiritual undertaking is a singular experience or realization.We need to distinguish between practices that are truly spiritual versus those focused on seeking material benefits and appreciate that real spirituality involves self-realization and God-realization.Regarding whether God is ultimately an impersonal ocean of light or spiritual energy, with which I can merge and ‘become one,' the Vedic understanding is that the Absolute Truth manifests in three aspects: Brahman (impersonal spiritual energy), Paramatma (localized presence of God in all beings), and Bhagavan (a Supreme Personality). In relation to the ideal of ‘oneness,' the philosophical framework for understanding oneness is explained by the aphorism acintya-bhedābheda-tattva - the inconceivable simultaneous oneness and yet difference. While there is a spiritual oneness, individual distinction also exists eternally, and we need to be cautioned against the misinterpretation that one is God, which then leads to unfortunate consequences.Some texts I quoted in this talk:Those who worship the demigods will take birth among the demigods; those who worship ghosts and spirits will take birth among such beings; those who worship ancestors go to the ancestors; and those who worship Me will live with Me. - Bhagavad-gītā 9.25The supreme occupation [dharma] for all humanity is that by which men can attain to loving devotional service unto the transcendent Lord. Such devotional service must be unmotivated and uninterrupted to completely satisfy the self. - Bhāgavata Purāṇa 1.2.6 Abandon all varieties of religion and just surrender unto Me. I shall deliver you from all sinful reaction. Do not fear. - Bhagavad-gītā 18.66 Learned transcendentalists who know the Absolute Truth call this nondual substance Brahman, Paramātmā or Bhagavān. - Bhāgavata Purāṇa 1.2.11And I am the basis of the impersonal Brahman, which is the constitutional position of ultimate happiness, and which is immortal, imperishable and eternal. - Bhagavad-gītā 14.27O my Lord, sustainer of all that lives, Your real face is covered by Your dazzling effulgence. Kindly remove that covering and exhibit Yourself to Your pure devotee. - Śrī Īśopaniṣad mantra 15He is the eternal among all eternal entities, and the chief conscious being among all conscious beings. Among the many living entities, He is the chief, who fulfills their desires. - Śvetāsvatara Upaniṣad 6.13 and Kaṭha Upaniṣad 2.2.13Īśvara is a special Puruṣa, unlike other puruṣas, being untouched by afflictions, actions (material activity) and the fruit of actions, and latent impressions or material desires. In Him the seed of omniscience is unsurpassed (infinite). He is also the Teacher of all ancient teachers (sages), being not limited by time. The transcendental sound personifying Him is AUṀ. - Yoga Sūtra 1.24-27Arjuna inquired: Which is considered to be more perfect: those who are properly engaged in Your loving devotional service, or those who worship the impersonal Brahman, the unmanifested? - Bhagavad-gītā 12.1The Blessed Lord said: He whose mind is fixed on My personal form, always engaged in worshiping Me with great and transcendental faith, is considered by Me to be most perfect. - Bhagavad-gītā 12.2For those whose minds are attached to the unmanifested, impersonal feature of the Supreme, advancement is very troublesome. To make progress in that discipline is always difficult for those who are embodied. - Bhagavad-gītā 12.5One can understand the Supreme Personality as He is only by devotional service. And when one is in full consciousness of the Supreme Lord by such devotion, he can enter into the realm of God. - Bhagavad-gītā 18.55

This is a recording of a Live Q & A which has been edited for clarity, length, and helpfulness.Because much of these podcasts follow the jnana path of clarity, they are most powerful when listened to in sequence.  However, in this discussion we started with the path of devotion and one of prayer.  We discussed that Ramana felt that Jnana (clarity) and Devotion were two equally important paths with each eventually turning into the other. Bhagavan felt the easiest path was one of prayer.  Let the Divine figure it out for you.  Later we discussed where and how one experienced one's "I Am".  Also, how many paths can one experience at the same time. Another explained the deep meaning to them of the relationship between Jesus and Mary Magdeline in terms of equality within society and the masculine-feminine relationships. Etc.These podcasts are here to support your personal path of awakening whatever that might be. I feel they are most powerful when listened to in sequence from podcast one forward because each is built on the last. Though they, also, all stand on their own. If anything does not resonate, please disregard it and follow your heart. All my podcasts and website are free. Enjoy!Though I am a psychotherapist, and these podcasts are offered to be spiritually helpful, they are not psychotherapy. If psychotherapy is ever needed, please reach out to a psychotherapist.www.williamecooper.wordpress.com for more support. You may, especially, enjoy the short contemplations and the resource page which gives you some supportive material.

It is helpful to come down to what the basics are, and then, as Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura said, "Follow the simple path strictly." I just received a quote the other day from a friend, in which Prabhupāda said, "It's illegal to collect a lot of obscure quotes from a lot of different śāstras, just to show that you know more than other people about a topic." He said, "You only need a few books, but get to know them really well. Go deeply within several of these books—Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, Bhagavad-gītā, Nectar of Devotion—for the purpose of being very clear about what's important." And Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura said, "Follow the simple path, but do it very strictly." Just because it's simple doesn't mean that you don't have to put your attention to it. You should be very strict about it. And then we also find that it's a lot deeper than we thought. "Oh, just sixteen rounds—that's all you're going to do?" If you actually chant sixteen rounds attentively, you realize that, "Oh, I'm barely doing anything. There's an ocean here, and I haven't even investigated more than just below the surface. What else is there?" And what to speak of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam and Caitanya-caritāmṛta! Prabhupāda said on a morning walk, when there was an argument about reading many different kinds of books available from different authors, Prabhupāda said, "Yeah, fine, but assimilate what you have." And if you try to assimilate Bhagavad-gītā As It Is, it may be a lot deeper than you thought. Who can actually assimilate Bhagavad-gītā fully before moving on to every book available at Ras Bihari Lal, "the biggest little bookstore in the world"? I hope there's never an earthquake, because that place will really collapse.

Creation and destruction, cosmic order and divine justice—these may seem like the primary reasons God engages with the world, but the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam reveals something much deeper. Krishna's true purpose in manifesting within the material realm isn't merely to uphold dharma or to punish the wicked—it's to reciprocate the love of His devotees. And within that love, a happiness is found that far surpasses the impersonal peace of liberation. In this episode, Kaustubha, along with guest hosts Jiva and Chapu, explores these profound truths as Wisdom of the Sages enters the Ninth Canto. Through the story of King Ambarish and the powerful mystic Durvasa Muni, we witness how devotion (bhakti) eclipses all other forms of spiritual attainment. The episode also unpacks a crucial philosophical hierarchy: how Brahman realization—the understanding that one is beyond the material world—is contained within Paramatma realization, which not only perceives the Divine within the heart but also recognizes the Supreme Intelligence orchestrating the workings of the entire material realm. Yet both are ultimately encompassed within Bhagavan realization, where God is understood not merely as an impersonal force or an all-pervading presence, but as the Supreme Person—Krishna—who loves, reciprocates, and reveals Himself fully to His devotees. Key Highlights: ✨ Why Krishna's primary concern isn't universal order—it's love. ✨ The joy of bhakti vs. the impersonal peace of liberation. ✨ How Brahman and Paramatma realizations are included within Bhagavan realization. ✨ Paramatma realization as the recognition of divine intelligence behind the cosmos. ✨ King Ambarish vs. Durvasa Muni: The power of devotion over mystic perfection. ✨ The Ninth Canto as the gateway to Krishna's most intimate pastimes. Join us as we explore the heart of divine love, the supreme happiness of bhakti, and the full spectrum of spiritual realization.
