In this continuation of the Bhagavad-gita Wisdom Series we discuss the complex topics of mind and consciousness from both scientific and yogic perspectives.Many scientists stubbornly insist that there is a single “energy” (the material energy) which exists and is perceivable by us. This idea, however, gives rise to the fundamental challenge in understanding consciousness, that is how consciousness arises from atomic particles or complex chemical compounds. This problem is sometimes referred to as the 'hard problem of consciousness'.The Vedic and yogic perspective is that consciousness is a quality of another type of ‘energy', the spiritual being (ātmā or ‘self). The understanding is that the spiritual being has two coverings or bodies: a gross physical body and a subtle body, with consciousness being the quality of the ātmā/self that pervades both.Some quotes that were referenced in the talk:“Consciousness poses the most baffling problems in the science of the mind. There is nothing that we know more intimately than conscious experience, but there is nothing that is harder to explain. All sorts of mental phenomena have yielded to scientific investigation in recent years, but consciousness has stubbornly resisted. Many have tried to explain it, but the explanations always seem to fall short of the target. Some have been led to suppose that the problem is intractable, and that no good explanation can be given.” “- David John Chalmers, a philosopher and cognitive scientist.“The hard problem of consciousness is the problem of explaining why any physical state is conscious rather than nonconscious.”O son of Bharata, as the sun alone illuminates all this universe, so does the living entity, one within the body, illuminates the entire body by consciousness. Bhagavad-gītā 13.34Know that which pervades the entire body is indestructible. No one is able to destroy the imperishable soul. - Bg 2.17"The soul (atma/self) is atomic in size and can be perceived by perfect intelligence. This atomic soul is floating in the five kinds of air (prāṇa, apāna, vyāna, samāna and udāna), is situated within the heart, and spreads its influence all over the body of the embodied living entities. When the soul is purified from the contamination of the five kinds of material air, its spiritual influence is exhibited." - Muṇḍaka Upaniṣad 3.1.9The seer (atma) is pure (transcendental) even though it perceives this world through the mind. - Yoga-sūtra 2.20The mind is not self-illuminating being itself an object of perception (that which is knowable). Yoga-sūtra 4.19 Not being self-luminous, the mind cannot be aware of an object and itself (as perceiver and perceived) at the same time. Yoga-sūtra 4.20 The pure and transcendental consciousness of the atma (self) is unchangeable. When the mind receives the reflection of that consciousness it is able to perceive and appears like the seer. Yoga-sūtra 4.22 The mind, being able to perceive due to its reflecting both the atma (self) and objects of perception, appears to comprehend everything. Yoga-sūtra 4.23 Even though the mind has accumulated various impressions (and desires) of various types it is always at the disposal of the atma (self). This is because the mind cannot function without the power of the perceiver. Yoga-sūtra 4.24The living entities in this conditioned world are My eternal, fragmental parts. Due to conditioned life, they are struggling very hard with the six senses, which include the mind. - Bhagavad-gītā 15.7"One must deliver themself with the help of one's mind, and not degrade themself. The mind is the friend of the conditioned soul, and his enemy as well. For one who has conquered the mind, the mind is the best of friends; but for one who has failed to do so, his mind will remain the greatest enemy. " Bg 6.5-6

#265 What is spiritual and What is not

The Theatre of Others Podcast

This is a comprehensive discussion on the topic of 'what is spiritual and what is not' as part of an ongoing series on the Wisdom of Bhagavad Gita. There are common misconceptions about spirituality. The term 'spirit' is used in various contexts and while many things are labeled as spiritual, not everything considered sacred or supernatural is truly spiritual from a Vedic perspective.For example, there is the common misconception that nature is inherently spiritual, but while nature can influence our state of consciousness positively, it none-the-less remains material energy.The ancient Vedic understanding is that in this world there are two fundamental energies: material energy (comprised of atoms and particles) and spiritual energy. The spiritual energy is the spiritual being (ātmā – the self or the spirit soul) which is eternal, unchanging, and personal, and temporarily residing within a material body.The spiritual journey is not to find a better way to enjoy the world with my material covering (body and mind). It is to discover my real spiritual identity, reestablish my lost connection with my source, the Supreme Soul or God, and become immersed in a relationship of love and loving service to the Supremely Lovable God.Some verses that were quoted:Yet there is another nature, which is eternal and is transcendental to this manifested and unmanifested matter. It is supreme and is never annihilated. When all in this world is annihilated, that part remains as it is. - Bhagavad-gītā 8.20 Besides this inferior nature, O mighty-armed Arjuna, there is a superior energy of Mine, which are all living entities who are struggling with material nature and are sustaining the universe. - Bhagavad-gītā 7.5O son of Bharata, as the sun alone illuminates all this universe, so does the living entity, one within the body, illuminate the entire body by consciousness. Bhagavad-gītā 13.34Here is a link to another talk on the subject, The Nature of the Soul: YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q9fAaCDZltU&ab_channel=AcharyaDas Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1Bx7hRtWgc/ Acharyadas.com - https://acharyadas.com/the-nature-of-the-soul/ Additional quotes around what is a spiritual person that people may benefit from:Arjuna said: O Kṛṣṇa, what are the symptoms of one whose consciousness is thus merged in transcendence? How does he speak, and what is his language? How does he sit, and how does he walk? - Bhagavad-gītā 2.54The Supreme Personality of Godhead said: O Pārtha, when a man gives up all varieties of desire for sense gratification, which arise from mental concoction, and when his mind, thus purified, finds satisfaction in the self alone, then he is said to be in pure transcendental consciousness. - Bhagavad-gītā. 2.55One who is not disturbed in mind even amidst the threefold miseries or elated when there is happiness, and who is free from attachment, fear and anger, is called a sage of steady mind. - Bhagavad-gītā. 2.56In the material world, one who is unaffected by whatever good or evil he may obtain, neither praising it nor despising it, is firmly fixed in perfect knowledge. - Bhagavad-gītā. 2.57One who is able to withdraw his senses from sense objects, as the tortoise draws its limbs within the shell, is firmly fixed in perfect consciousness. - Bhagavad-gītā. 2.58The embodied soul may be restricted from sense enjoyment, though the taste for sense objects remains. But, ceasing such engagements by experiencing a higher taste, he is fixed in consciousness. - Bhagavad-gītā. 2.59He is a perfect yogī who, by comparison to his own self, sees the true equality of all beings, both in their happiness and distress, O Arjuna! - Bhagavad-gītā 6.32A person is said to be still further advanced when he regards all—the honest well-wisher, friends and enemies, the envious, the pious, the sinner and those who are indifferent and impartial-with an equal mind. - Bhagavad-gītā 6.9

Those who are able to catch the ārya-vacasā—the words that are coming down authoritatively through this disciplic line, coming from the authority of Kṛṣṇa, passed down over many generations—by taking that and, in essence, what Bharata did? He put those shoes up, and he said, "Okay, not my will, but Thy will. I'm going to follow this what your words say." And it doesn't matter if it looks like I'm going in the wrong direction, because everyone said, "Rāma, you're going to the forest. You should be king." He said, "That's okay. I'm following the ārya-vacasā." And of course, it all came out properly. And when Prabhupāda followed the order of his spiritual teacher, he was 69 years old when he embarked on a journey on a not well-equipped cargo ship with no connections in America. But he, as he wrote, he's only following the ārya-vacasā. His guru said to do it. So he's doing it. And many people said, "This is foolhardy. You'll die." He almost did, but he followed the ārya-vacasā. And as the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, as we see it now, has spread to every continent—we're working on Antarctica. Prabhupāda claimed these victories by this principle only. He said, "It's not me, it's the ārya-vacasā. It's the fact that I receive these words and I'm just trying to carry them out. That's what I'm doing, and that's why I'm successful. It's because I'm acting on behalf of the ārya or the authority." So this principle exempts us from the entanglement of the material world. The moment, as a bank teller, I take $1 off the top of the stack and put it in my pocket—it'll be on camera nowadays—you're fired. It's just $1, doesn't matter. It's the principle that's not yours to touch. So this world isn't ours to touch either, only on behalf of the owner of this world, who's mentioned in the Śrī Īśopaniṣad, īśāvāsyam idaṁ sarvam. I'll give you a verse to solve all your problems. You want all your problems solved? Okay, only half of you said yes, the other half cover your ears. You want your problems solved? All right, here you go: īśāvāsyam idaṁ sarvaṁ, yat kiñca jagatyāṁ jagat, tena tyaktena bhuñjīthā, mā gṛdhaḥ kasya svid dhanam. Here it is. "Everything animate or inanimate within the universe is controlled and owned by the Lord. One should therefore accept only those things necessary for himself, which are set aside as his quota, and one should not accept other things, knowing well to whom they belong." You can thank me later. This is the principle through which anyone can live in this world without being—and I hate to say being, and then the next word—besmirched, meaning smeared by the material energy and entangled in the material energy. Kṛṣṇa says in the Gītā that just as a lotus flower comes from the mud and it sits in the water, but doesn't become wet. Lotuses are amazing like that. They're in the water and they're in the mud, but they don't become muddy or wet. So similarly, if someone lives in this world with this principle that I've just described, that "I'm doing this on behalf of the authority, not for me, it's for the authority," then you're never entangled in this world, and you can become a conduit for Kṛṣṇa. In fact, that's what the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is. It means to become a representative to the world, to give goodwill, to become an ambassador of goodwill to the world. ------------------------------------------------------------ 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/ ------------------------------------------------------------

#264 Beyond Happiness & Distress – A Guide to Emotional Well-Being

Play Episode Listen Later Mar 26, 2025 57:36

This talk continues our Bhagavad-gita Wisdom Series with the topic: “Beyond Happiness & Distress – A Guide to Emotional Well-Being.”We explore two fundamental perspectives:• The materialistic view, which identifies the self with the body and mind.• The spiritual perspective, which sees the self as an eternal spiritual being temporarily residing in a body and struggling with the mind.According to yogic teachings, emotions arise from mental processes and are not intrinsic to the soul. These teachings emphasize the importance of tolerating desires and emotions rather than being controlled by them. This state of inner steadiness is likened to an ocean—remaining calm despite the many rivers that flow into it.The ancient wisdom of yoga introduces the concept of becoming an Atmarama—one who is self-satisfied—finding lasting spiritual happiness within rather than seeking temporary fulfillment in external sources.Meditation is a key practice for self-realization, accessible to everyone. The transformative power of meditating on transcendental sound can be compared to the sunrise dispelling fog, bringing clarity and insight. As yoga wisdom deepens, it reshapes one's perspective on life and relationships, leading to genuine peace and fulfillment.The verses which I quote from the Bhagavad-gītā: Some look on the soul as amazing, some describe him as amazing, and some hear of him as amazing, while others, even after hearing about him, cannot understand him at all. Bhagavad-gītā 2.29 O son of Kuntī, the nonpermanent appearance of happiness and distress, and their disappearance in due course, are like the appearance and disappearance of winter and summer seasons. They arise from sense perception, O scion of Bharata, and one must learn to tolerate them without being disturbed. - Bhagavad-gītā 2.14O best among men [Arjuna], the person who is not disturbed by happiness and distress and is steady in both is certainly eligible for liberation. - Bhagavad-gītā 2.15That happiness which is derived from contact of the senses with their objects and which appears like nectar at first but poison at the end is said to be of the nature of passion. - Bhagavad-gītā 18.38That which in the beginning may be just like poison but at the end is just like nectar and which awakens one to self-realization is said to be happiness in the mode of goodness. - Bhagavad-gītā 18.37A person who is not disturbed by the incessant flow of desires—that enter like rivers into the ocean which is ever being filled but is always still—can alone achieve peace, and not the person who strives to satisfy such desires. - Bhagavad-gītā 2.70Be steadfast in yoga, O Arjuna. Perform your duty and abandon all attachment to success or failure. Such evenness of mind is called yoga. - Bhagavad-gītā 2.48These are some additional verses which you might benefit from:One who is not envious but who is a kind friend to all living entities, who does not think himself a proprietor, who is free from false ego and equal both in happiness and distress, who is always satisfied and engaged in (loving)devotional service with determination and whose mind and intelligence are in agreement with Me-he is very dear to Me. - Bhagavad-gītā 12.13-14One who is free from illusion, false prestige, and false association, who understands the eternal, who is done with material lust and is freed from the duality of happiness and distress, and who knows how to surrender unto the Supreme Person, attains to that eternal kingdom. - Bhagavad-gītā 15.5One who is not disturbed in spite of the threefold miseries, who is not elated when there is happiness, and who is free from attachment, fear and anger, is called a sage of steady mind. - Bhagavad-gītā 2.56For one who has conquered the mind, the Super Soul is already reached, for they have attained tranquillity. To such a man happiness and distress, heat and cold, honor and dishonor are all the same. - Bhagavad-gītā 6.7

The Bhagavad Gita Is perhaps the most famous of all the Vedic texts. It is comprised of 700 verses and addresses the most foundational principles of real spiritual life. This will be the beginning of a new series titled Bhagavad Gita Wisdom. Each talk we will address one or two important spiritual principles an exam in their application to all of us even in these current times. In this first talk we examine the absolutely fascinating back story to how the Bhagavad Gita came about and the most foundational spiritual principle to a genuine spiritual life, the question of mind, body, and soul. The verses which I quoted in this talk are as follows: Now I am confused about my duty and have lost all composure because of miserly weakness. In this condition I am asking You to tell me for certain what is best for me. Now I am Your disciple, and a soul surrendered unto You. Please instruct me. Bhagavad-gītā 2.7 Having spoken thus, Arjuna, chastiser of enemies, told Kṛṣṇa, "Govinda, I shall not fight," and fell silent. Bhagavad-gītā 2.9 Bhagavān Śrī Kṛṣṇa said: While speaking learned words, you are mourning for what is not worthy of grief. Those who are wise lament neither for the living nor for the dead. Bhagavad-gītā 2.11 Know that which pervades the entire body is indestructible. No one is able to destroy the imperishable soul. Bhagavad-gītā 2.17 For the soul there is never birth nor death. Nor, having once been, does he ever cease to be. He is unborn, eternal, ever-existing, undying and primeval. He is not slain when the body is slain. Bhagavad-gītā 2.20 The soul can never be cut into pieces by any weapon, nor can he be burned by fire, nor moistened by water, nor withered by the wind. Bhagavad-gītā 2.23 This individual soul is unbreakable and insoluble, and can be neither burned nor dried. He is everlasting, all-pervading, unchangeable, immovable and eternally the same. Bhagavad-gītā 2.24 Some look on the soul as amazing, some describe him as amazing, and some hear of him as amazing, while others, even after hearing about him, cannot understand him at all. Bhagavad-gītā 2.29 O descendant of Bharata, in the body is eternal and can never be slain. Therefore you need not grieve for any creature. Bhagavad-gītā 2.30 One must deliver himself with the help of his mind, and not degrade himself. The mind is the friend of the conditioned soul, and his enemy as well. Bhagavad-gītā 6.5

#257 Invisible Forces that Shape Our Lives

We tend to be unaware of the invisible yet powerful forces which shape our lives and cause us to make decisions and take action which can contribute to our unhappiness and suffering. The ancient yoga texts of India dealt with these topics in a wonderful and instructive way which we can all benefit from. In this talk I touch on Time, the Law of Karma, Maya (the great illusory energy) and in some detail, the three modes of material nature or the three gunas. The texts I quoted were: Both by rising and by setting, the sun decreases the duration of life of everyone, except one who utilizes the time by discussing topics of the all-good Supreme Soul. - Bhāgavata Purāṇa 2.3.17 Material nature consists of three modes -- goodness, passion and ignorance. When the eternal living entity comes in contact with nature, O mighty-armed Arjuna, he becomes conditioned by these modes. - Bhagavad-gītā 14.5 O sinless one, the mode of goodness, being purer than the others, is illuminating, and it frees one from all sinful reactions. Those situated in that mode become conditioned by a sense of happiness and knowledge. - Bhagavad-gītā 14.6 The mode of passion is born of unlimited desires and longings, O son of Kuntī, and because of this the embodied living entity is bound to material fruitive actions. - Bhagavad-gītā 14.7 O son of Bharata, know that the mode of darkness, born of ignorance, is the delusion of all embodied living entities. The results of this mode are madness, indolence and sleep, which bind the conditioned soul. - Bhagavad-gītā 14.8

#256 The Nature of the Soul

There is a saying that “The eyes are the window to the soul”. This alludes to the reality that there is a clear distinction between the physical body and “you” the eternal spiritual being. The ancient yogic teachings rejects the idea that “I have a soul” in favor of the truth that “I am the soul.” As such I have an eternal and spiritual nature, but when residing within a material form (the body) that nature becomes both covered and distorted. In this talk we examine that nature. Some of the verses I either quoted or referenced: O son of Bharata, as the sun alone illuminates all this universe, so does the living entity, one within the body, illuminate the entire body by consciousness. Bhagavad-gītā 13.34 For the soul there is neither birth nor death at any time. He has not come into being, does not come into being, and will not come into being. He is unborn, eternal, ever-existing and primeval. He is not slain when the body is slain. Bhagavad-gītā 2.20 The soul within the body is self-luminous and is distinct from the visible gross body and invisible subtle body. It remains as the fixed basis of changing bodily existence, just as the ethereal sky is the unchanging background of material transformation. Therefore the soul is endless and without material comparison. Bhāgavata Purāṇa 12.5.8 One who is enlightened in self-realization, although living within the material body, sees himself as transcendental to the body, just as one who has arisen from a dream gives up identification with the dream body. Bhāgavata Purāṇa 11.11.8 The ātma/self is atomic in size and can be perceived by perfect intelligence. This atomic soul is floating in the five kinds of air (prāṇa, apāna, vyāna, samāna and udāna), is situated within the heart, and spreads its influence all over the body of the embodied living entities. When the ātma is purified from the contamination of the five kinds of material air, its spiritual influence is exhibited. - Muṇḍaka Upaniṣad 3.1.9 As long as a living entity is not completely self-realized -- as long as one is not independent of the misconception of identifying with one's body, which is nothing but a reflection of the original body and senses -- one cannot be relieved of the conception of duality, which is epitomized by the duality between man and woman. Thus there is every chance that one will fall down because one's intelligence is bewildered. Bhāgavata Purāṇa 7.12.10 As tiny sparks fly from a fire, so all the individual souls have come from the Supreme. - Bṛhad-āraṇyaka Upaniṣad, 2.2.20 This is the truth: As sparks of similar form spring forth by the thousands from a strongly blazing fire, so from the Absolute Truth are produced the various living beings, O gentle one, and there also do they go. - Mundaka Upanishad 2:1:1 By chance, two birds have made a nest together in the same tree. The two birds are friends and are of a similar nature. One of them, however, is eating the fruits of the tree, whereas the other, who does not eat the fruits, is in a superior position due to His potency. The bird who does not eat the fruits of the tree is the Supreme Soul, who by His omniscience perfectly understands His own position and that of the conditioned living entity, represented by the eating bird. That living entity, on the other hand, does not understand himself or the Lord. He is covered by ignorance and is thus called eternally conditioned, whereas the Personality of Godhead, being full of perfect knowledge, is eternally liberated. – Bhāgavata Purāṇa 11.11.6-7 The same jīva is eternal and is for eternity and without a beginning joined to the Supreme Lord by the tie of an eternal kinship. He is transcendental spiritual potency. - Śrī Brahma-saṁhitā 5.21 Thus mistaking the temporary for the eternal, my body for my self, and sources of misery for sources of happiness, I have tried to take pleasure in material dualities. Covered in this way by ignorance, I could not recognize You as the real object of my love. Bhāgavata Purāṇa 10.40.25

Grief is understood as not just sadness but a very great sadness, especially at the death of someone or a great loss. In some cases it can deeply affect how one lives their life from that point. In the ancient Sanskrit language, one of the words they use is śocaḥ which not only means grief or sorrow, but can also be used to describe burning or a flame. In this talk, we explore how in many cases grief has arisen out of an unrealistic expectation, like holding on to the false hope that I and others who are dear to me will never die. Yet death (or things/situations coming to an end) is the only thing that you can dependably rely on that will happen in “life”. The ancient Vedic texts address what is the natural course of things and the crucial knowledge that we, the spiritual beings, residing within the body, never die. We exist eternally.. Some of the verses I quoted: Just as the fruits and flowers of a tree in due course of time undergo six changes -- birth, existence, growth, transformation, dwindling and then death -- the material body, which is obtained by the spirit soul under different circumstances, undergoes similar changes. However, there are no such changes for the spirit soul. Bhāgavata Purāṇa 7.7.18 Bhagavān Śrī Kṛṣṇa said: While speaking learned words, you are mourning for what is not worthy of grief. Those who are wise lament neither for the living nor the dead. - Bhagavad-gītā 2.11 It is said that the soul is invisible, inconceivable, immutable, and unchangeable. Knowing this, you should not grieve for the body. - Bhagavad-gītā 2.25 O descendant of Bharata, he who dwells in the body is eternal and can never be slain. Therefore you need not grieve for any creature. - Bhagavad-gītā 2.30 Yet there is another unmanifest nature, which is eternal and is transcendental to this manifested and unmanifested matter. It is supreme and is never annihilated. When all in this world is annihilated, that part remains as it is. - Bhagavad-gītā 8.20

Kumaravyasa's Bharata is a crown jewel of Kannada literature, beloved by scholars and common people alike. In this 15th-century classic, Kumaravyasa reimagines Vyasa's epic, making it more compact, dramatic, closer to everyday life and language. He dispenses with most didactic material, cuts out subsidiary tales, and concludes with the end of the war. Here, Krishna, who is cool, clever, charming, and charismatic, is the central character, but many others, such as Draupadi, Karna, and Duryodhana leave an indelible mark. He narrates the story through fast-moving, deftly crafted situations, where characters confront grand conflicts and articulate subtle and complex emotions in brilliant metaphorical language. In this series of masterclasses, Professors SN Sridhar and Krishnamurthy Hanuru will introduce the audience to several aspects of Kumaravyasa's poetic genius, illustrating them with the modern English translations the first volume of which has just been published as The Kannada Mahabharata by Harvard University Press in the Murty Classical Library of India series. The first episode places the poet in relation to his life and times, discusses his unique poetic manifesto, outlines the work, and highlights his originality in the way he creatively transforms Vyasa's prototype of the Mahabharata and Pampa's version. In this episode of BIC Talks Professors Sridhar and Hanuru illustrate Kumaravyasa's genius and versatility while analysing what accounts for the enduring popularity of his work for over half a millennium.

Sri Rama, however, contends that one's parents are more worthy of respect even than one's teacher and is accordingly insistent on implementing the pledge already given by him to his father. Thus discomfited in argument, Bharata makes up his mind to undertake a fast unto death as a last resort to exert pressure on him. On Sri Rama's dubbing such a step as repugnant to the code of conduct prescribed for a Kshatriya, Bharata requests his elder brother to allow him to remain in exile in the forest as the latter's proxy. Sri Rama, however, rules out this proposition also as something preposterous, saying that one's duty is entrusted to a proxy only on the former's incapacity, which could not be predicated of him, and reaffirms his decision to enter Ayodhya only after fulfilling the pledge given to his father.

Bowing down at the feet of his preceptor, Sri Rama takes his seat. Accompanied by the cousellors, Bharata too sits nearby. Recitation: 00:00 - 05:52 Translation: 05:53 - 14:55

Imploring Sri Rama with cogent reasons to accept the throne of Ayodhya, Bharata takes a vow not to return to Ayodhya but to continue in the forest in case Sri Rama does not grant his prayer. Mother Kausalya and others too join Bharata and urge Sri Rama to grant his request when they find Sri Rama adamant in the matter and insistent on implementing the words of their deceased father.
