What You'll DiscoverIn this episode, we explore a rarely discussed yet deeply transformative teaching from the Bhagavad Gita. Krishna presents a psychological map of Buddhi and Dhriti, referring to intelligence and determination. Through verses 18.29 to 18.35, he explains how these two inner faculties are shaped by the three gunas: sattva (purity), rajas (passion), and tamas (inertia). These forces silently influence every choice we make, from our goals to our moral compass.What makes this even more profound is Krishna's insight that life's struggles often stem not just from external circumstances, but from the quality of our discernment (buddhi) and the depth of our perseverance (dhriti). You will encounter powerful modern parallels, including corporate burnout and spiritual bypassing, that reveal how rajasic and tamasic tendencies impact our moral clarity and emotional stamina.In a world filled with constant stimulation, conflicting advice, and emotional exhaustion, our inner compass can easily falter. Moral relativism has blurred the lines of ethical integrity, and moral inversion, where falsehood is mistaken for virtue, is widespread. The question arises: how do we remain rooted in truth and inner strength amidst such turmoil?Krishna offers a timeless solution. By cultivating sattvic buddhi, we begin to see clearly. By strengthening sattvic dhriti, we remain firm in what is right. With practical and relatable examples, you will see how this guidance applies to everyday scenarios like social media habits, leadership decisions, and emotional resilience.• How tamasic buddhi glamorizes harm and clings to illusion• Why rajasic dhriti drives ambition but often ends in exhaustion• How sattvic dhriti sustains spiritual effort through adversity• Clear, actionable tools to purify both intellect and willWhether you are a spiritual seeker, a leader making tough calls, or someone simply looking for clarity and strength, this episode will give you a practical framework from Krishna's teachings.

In this season of Live Vedanta, we are sharing insights on Courageous Caregiving through Vibhishana Gita. Understanding ourselves through svadhyaya (self-study) leads us to nurture empathy for ourselves and others, which helps us be fully present through our body language, attention, and prioritization. Buddhi (understanding) fosters fearlessness through giving us the strength to leave our comfort zone. This helps us engage in proactive understanding, in turn minimizing misinterpretation, and strengthening our personal growth and parenting.These discourses are from our Parenting Culture community, a space for seekers striving to be better in their caregiving responsibilities through the practice of self-development. You can always join Parenting Culture live on Mondays  or catch up on the previous episode.For those on the journey of self-development, Chinmaya Mission Niagara provides a community forum to listen, reflect, and contemplate. Follow us on Instagram and Facebook for more updates about upcoming live workshops, courses, and more! Chinmaya Mission is an international non-profit organization working to transform individuals through the knowledge of Vedanta.

Title: Buddhi Yoga: Art of Working Intelligently18th Chapter: verses 57, 58, 59, 60, 6157th verse: “Mentally offer all actions to Me. Buddhi Yoga is the tool with which you should live and work in this world.”Buddhi Yoga refers to purified intellect. It is the higher faculty of the human mind that enables us to perform our actions without obsessive attachment to the outcome. Our actions sometimes yield favorable results and sometimes unfavorable results. When the mind reacts to unfavorable results, we become anxious. Buddhi Yoga enables us to remain calm even if results are not favorable.The 1st and 2nd verses of the 4th chapter refer to Rajarshi. Rajarshi is a person who has the dual qualities of a king (Rajatvam) and a saint (Rishitvam). As a king, he has great prosperity, dynamism and efficiency. As a saint, he has a calm attitude, can see far into things, and understands the limitations and impermanence of his wealth and powers. Buddhi Yoga means working with the refined intelligence of a Rajarshi.From an advaitic sense, Buddhi Yoga means living and working in this world with the understanding of the transient  nature of the empirical world.The 25th verse of the 3rd chapter contrasts two types of people. (1) Those who work hard with motive and are ignorant of the higher philosophy of Karma-Yoga. For them, every small problem becomes a big headache (2) Those who work equally hard, but who are grounded in Karma-Yoga, and see their work as Swadharma. They are not worried and are called Vidwan.58th verse: “Anyone who practices karma yoga or buddhi yoga can cross the barrier of samsara (transmigratory cycle).”The 59th and 60th verses take us back to the original narrative of Gita, where Arjuna was facing conflicts as he did not want to do an unpleasant duty. Lord Krishna says: “If instead of practicing karma yoga, you think you can run away from your duty, that is your fantasy. Your own swabhava will compel you to do the duty.”Swabhava is our inherent nature that determines our outlook to life and our actions. Every action leaves a residual effect (vritti) in our mental system. Many identical vrittis – from similar, repeated actions – solidify a distinct memory block called Samskara. Samskaras express through our determination to act in a certain manner, called Sankalpa. Sankalpa leads to further actions. This wheel continues, and it shapes our Swabhava.We can change our swabhava by consciously doing good actions and increasing the storehouse of positive samskaras.In the 61st verse, Lord Krishna puts forward a new idea. He compared God to an engineer and says: “He is running this huge machinery of creation. He is present in everyone as one immanent reality. He regulates and activates every being just like an engineer regulates and activates a machine.”God is omnipresent through immanence. Creator is present in creation. Neither is outside of the other.Spiritually, the entire existence is one. one who is truly spiritual cannot hurt any being. There is no otherness for him.Happiness is only the temporary absence of unhappiness. When we reach a state of mind, where we have santosha (contentment), we stop looking for happiness. We go beyond the happiness and unhappiness equation. That is true happiness.

Welcome to the fourth episode of Impressions—The Art of Relating. Recorded during a transformative retreat in Australia in 2018, this episode explores the deep and essential question: Is it possible to love others without first loving ourselves? Drawing from the Sattva Connect course, we journey into the dynamics of love, perception, and the ego's role in distorting our understanding of self-worth.This episode delves into how self-hatred, resentment, and feelings of inadequacy are born from ego-driven beliefs, leading to a distorted view of love. We explore the layers of the mind—Chitta, Buddhi, Manas, Ahamkara—and how they shape our experiences. By understanding the mind's workings and recognising the ego's influence, we can dissolve harmful self-narratives and move toward states of greater awareness and enlightenment.Through practice, we can stabilise our inner dialogue, shift our internal content, and experience love as an intrinsic part of who we are—free from the ego's hold. Tune in to explore the path to self-compassion, observe patterns of self-loathing, and discover how deeper awareness can transform our capacity to love authentically and fully.

Jitu Nepal, renowned for his unforgettable portrayal of "Mundre" in Jire Khursani, has captivated audiences with his roles in Cha Ekan Cha and Chhakka Panja. Equally impressive, Buddhi Tamang rose to prominence with Kabaddi Kabaddi, where his iconic "Hait" dialogue became a cultural sensation, marking his success in the industry.

What's the distinction between mind, intellect and ego? And what are their functions? Unlike many modern psychological approaches, the Vedic worldview honors and celebrates the role of all three. While they may not always function perfectly – like the 'mistaken intellect' often discussed by Thom – each of these elements plays a specific and essential role in our evolution.Thom explains in this episode, that rather than putting our efforts into “getting rid of the ego,” we're best served by enlisting our ego as a cooperative component in our quest for enlightenment. Ironically, it's allowing the ego to transcend itself, that gives it the ability to truly know its ultimate, unchanging essence.Episode Highlights:[00:45] Vedic Psychology on Mind, Intellect, and Ego[02:32] Manas[03:53] What Remains Unchanged Within Us?[05:21] Mind Stays the Same[06:39] Two Elements of Manas[07:49] Buddhi[08:54] Ego in Western Psychology[11:47] Vedic Ego (Ahaṃkar)[13:32] Intellect's Role in Ego Formation[14:41] The Ego Structure[16:22] Ahaṃkar in Vedic Meditation[18:03] You Minus All the Thoughts[19:24] True Nature of the Self[20:48] When Mantra Surpasses Ego[22:31] Ego's Experience of The Unbounded Field[24:03] Ego + Cosmic Consciousness[25:57] No Ego, No EnlightenmentUseful Linksinfo@thomknoles.com https://thomknoles.com/https://www.instagram.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.facebook.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.youtube.com/c/thomknoleshttps://thomknoles.com/ask-thom-anything/

This practice we will focus on the 4th Niyama, Svadhyaya: Self-study, self- inquiry, it is to observe the self, understand it and self-reflect on it. It is the study by and of oneself, along side of the study of spiritual scripture and teachings. Reading, listening and reciting mantras. Through repetition we learn, deepening the knowledge and opening to true wisdom.Sva means own or self. Dhyaya means lesson, practice, teaching. The word literally means ‘placing it within your own' or ‘own- ing' the lesson, the teaching own the lesson as you focus on what is arising right here and now.In practice we take it all in, whatever arises in our field of experience. Welcoming it all as teachers, make the understanding and experience your own, place yourself within it. This is where your light of intelligence (Prajna), discernment (Vikeka) and your intuitive wisdom (Buddhi) gathered insight into what is arising in practice in the form of thought, emotions and sensations.To read more and to practice with Zephyr Wildman, click here.

Title: The Three Traits of Karta18th Chapter: verse 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27Gita is a condensation of the entire vedic literature. The 18th chapter is a condensation of entire Gita.Lord Krishna divides human traits in three areas – sattvic, rajasik and tamasik.Jnanam (knowledge), karta (doer), karma (action) and buddhi (intellect) – all can be divided into these three traits. Jnanam refers to our perception of life, how we interpret life. Karma is any kind of activity that we engage in. Karta is how we act and define ourselves in terms of what we do. Buddhi refers to the workings of our emotional system. If we understand our traits in all of these four areas, we can transform and improve ourselves.We can infer which trait is predominant in a person by observing his external temperament. A sattvik person is calm and serene even in difficult situations. A rajasik person is swayed by his circumstances. A tamasik person is dull and non-responsive., not understanding what is happening around him.These traits can also be applied to food. Sattvik food keeps us serene. Rajasik food creates excitement. Tamasik food makes us sleepy, confused and deluded.The 20th, 21st and 22nd verses discuss the three levels of refinement of knowledge - sattvik, rajasik and tamasik. They discuss how people with these three gunas comprehend different situations.The 20th verse describes the sattvik nature of knowledge. “That knowledge by which one sees the one supreme reality which is immanent, which is all-pervading, which remains the same without division, which is the indweller in every being, is Sattvik knowledge.” Even when perceiving the differences in the world, he keeps in mind the presence of the divine as the unifying factor everywhere.21st verse: “That knowledge by which one sees everything as different from everything else, by which one sees certain people as eternally good and certain people as eternally bad, is rajasik knowledge.”22nd verse: “There are people who may have a small, petty idea, which may be irrational, but still, they think that their perception alone is correct. Everything else is false. The knowledge of such people is tamasik.”The 23rd, 24th and 25th verses discuss the three levels of refinement of actions - sattvik, rajasik and tamasik. The way we act and perform our responsibilities is also a sign of spiritual growth.23rd verse: “When we do our actions considering it as our sacred duty, without extreme attachment, without aversion to anyone, without any selfish expectations of benefits – such action is sattvik.”24th verse: “Actions that are done with selfish desire, and which are done with strain to the mental system, are rajasik.”Actions done without selfish motives and attachment keeps the mind tranquil. Actions done with selfish motives and attachment unsettles our mind and emotional system.25th verse: “People who are reckless and ruthless, who do not worry about consequences, who are slaves of their impulses, who do not worry about loss of money or resources, who do not worry about whether their actions bring harm to others, who want to finish the action at any cost – their actions are tamasik.”Lord Krishna describes Karma Yoga as a method by which we can make ourselves sattvik. At a mental level, we do not have control over what thought comes next. At a physical level, we have more freedom. By doing noble activities without selfish motives, in the midst of our normal professional duties, we generate spiritual energy and deposit more sattvik properties in the mental system.The 26th, 27th and 28th verses discuss the three levels of refinement of karta (doer) - sattvik, rajasik and tamasik.26th verse: “Who is a sattvik karta? He is totally devoid of any attachment. He does a lot of good things but does not identify himself as the doer.”If we engage in a lot of work without sense of doer ship, we are not fatigued. The body may take a toll, but the mind stays fresh.Shankaracharya says: “The kindergarten of spiritual life is to engage in some good noble activity.” That approach is described in the 26th verse. It turns the mind sattvik.At the age of seven,  Shankaracharya  became a monk. By the age of eight, he had read the scriptures. By the age of sixteen, he had mastered the scriptures and written philosophical discourses. We read the Gita today because of his commentaries. He walked the Indian subcontinent four times and left by the age of thirty-two. Sister Nivedita says on Shankaracharya's greatness: “This is greatness that we can only appreciate from a distance but can never understand.”27th verse: “Who is rajasik karta? His mind moves from one polar opposite to another, from extreme joy to depression. When he gets expected results, he is overjoyed (harsha). When he does not get expected results, he is depressed (shoka). Obsessed by what he is doing, he is mentally fatigued.”The secret to happiness is to stop looking for happiness all the time.The way to get rid of obsessive attachment is to feed the mind with great spiritual ideas, give it good mental food.

This practice is inspired by the first Yama, Ahimsa, Non-Violence. Over the past few sessions we have focused on clearing the Malas to know, see and act in this world knowing the truth of who and what we are, that there is impermanence to all life and finally being responsible for what is motivating us (Kleshas) which causes suffering. To live is to create Karma and that all activities creates Karma, choices and consequences whether positive or negative on ourselves and others. It is a fundamental desire to a Yogi's journey to know your personal Dharma – your purpose and devote to your life to fulfilling it, creating as little ‘bad' Karma as possible. However, it is hard to be perfect, it is impossible to exist without doing some harm to ourselves and others. By avoiding Karma, or action, it said, you still create Karma (sorry!). So the little secret to life is: You fulfil your Dharma and take care of your Karama and Karma will take care of you. One objective of practice is to refine the Buddhi – your intuitive guide, through daily practice of Yoga to see and know the best path for you to take creating the Karma that aligns to your Dharma. Yamas gives us moral and ethical guidelines to reduce as much ‘bad' Karma and prevents us wavering off our path. Ahimsa means non-violence, mentally, emotionally, verbally and physically towards all sentient beings. To read more and to practice with Zephyr Wildman, click here.

Do you really know the power of your thoughts? While light travels at the rate of 1,86,000 miles per second, thoughts virtually travel in no time. Thought is finer than ether, the medium of electricity. If the mind dwells continually upon one train of thought, a groove is formed into which the thought-force runs automatically and such a habit of thought survives death and since it belongs to the ego, is carried over to the subsequent earth-life as a thought-tendency and capacity. Every thought has got its own mental image. The essence of the various mental images formed in one particular physical life is being worked out in the mental plane. It constitutes the basis for the next physical life. Just as a new physical body is formed in every birth, so also a new mind and a new Buddhi are formed in every birth. Not easy is the act of explaining the detailed workings of thought and destiny. Each thought is a link in an endless chain of causes and effects, each effect becoming a cause and each cause having been an effect; and each link in the endless chain is welded out of three components—desire, thought and activity. A desire stimulates a thought; a thought embodies itself as an act. Act constitutes the web of destiny.
