The Mind: Friend or EnemyWho is actually running your life—you, or your mind?The mind is constantly talking to us.I want this.I don't like that.I'm worried about this.I need to do that.What will people think of me?And very often, we simply follow where it leads. And we're often told: “Follow your dreams.” But should every desire that enters our mind really be followed?The Bhagavad-gita presents a sobering truth:“For one who has conquered the mind, the mind is the best of friends; but for one who has failed to do so, the mind will remain the greatest enemy.”Our desires, choices, words and actions are profoundly influenced by what is happening within the mind. And those actions, in turn, shape the direction of our lives.So should we really “follow our dreams” simply because the mind produces them?Or should we first ask: Where is this desire taking me?Even Arjuna tells Krishna that controlling the restless mind seems as difficult as controlling the wind. Krishna acknowledges the difficulty—but says it can be done through practice and detachment.The yogic understanding goes even deeper.You are not your mind.Thoughts come and go. Desires arise and disappear. Emotions change. Memories surface and fade. Yet behind them is the conscious person who observes and experiences them—the eternal spiritual self.The challenge, therefore, is not to allow the mind to become the master.Through bhakti-yoga—hearing spiritual wisdom, chanting sacred names and offering our activities to Krishna—the mind itself can gradually become transformed.Like an iron rod placed repeatedly into fire eventually becoming red-hot and taking on the qualities of fire, the mind immersed in spiritual sound and spiritual activity can gradually become purified.The mind doesn't have to be our enemy.It can become one of our greatest spiritual assets—but we shouldn't let it drive the bus.Chapters 00:00:00 Invocation and the Mind as the Subject of the Lecture ‎ 00:01:42 Perception, the Senses, and the Mind as the Inner Screen ‎ 00:07:53 Modes of Material Nature and Mental Conditioning ‎ 00:13:09 Karma, the Restless Mind, and Krishna's Guidance ‎ 00:19:42 The Mind as Enemy: Harmful Choices and Modern Influences ‎ 00:31:34 Practice, Detachment, and a Case of Mental Recovery ‎ 00:38:33 Bhakti-Yoga and the Spiritualization of Mind and Body ‎ 00:49:01 Sense Desire, Mental Concoction, and Spiritual Happiness ‎ 00:57:17 Core Takeaway: Identity, Responsibility, and Direction ‎ 00:59:54 Human Life, Rebirth, and the Value of Spiritual Opportunity ‎ 01:07:14 Spiritual Form, Svarupa, and Siddha Svarupa‎#BhagavadGita #GuideForLife #MindControl #BhaktiYoga #Krishna #SpiritualWisdom #SelfRealization #YogaWisdom #SpiritualLife

In a Zoom meeting on 16th September 2021 Michael answers several questions asked by Indira about Bhagavan's teachings, such as whether the seer is ego or our real nature (ātma-svarūpa), the role of ego in our spiritual journey towards self-knowledge, the practice of surrender to the will of God or guru, the value of a human birth, the benefit of self-investigation while we are still practising, doership and niṣkāmya karma, and God as both īśvara and the transcendent reality. ----more---- During this discussion Michael refers to and/or discusses the following passages from Bhagavan's writings: Uḷḷadu Nāṟpadu verse 4, 25, 26 and 38 Nāṉ Ār? (Q&A versions) Q&A 4 Nāṉ Ār? (essay version) paragraph 3, 4, 5, 7 and 15 Upadēśa Undiyār verse 8, 18, 22 and 26 The note he wrote for his mother in December 1898 Śrī Aruṇācala Akṣaramaṇamālai verse 8: ஊர்சுற் றுளம்விடா துனைக்கண் டடங்கிட      வுன்னழ கைக்காட் டருணாசலா ūrsuṯ ṟuḷamviḍā duṉaikkaṇ ḍaḍaṅgiḍa      vuṉṉaṙa haikkāṭ ṭaruṇācalā பதச்சேதம்: ஊர் சுற்று உளம் விடாது உனை கண்டு அடங்கிட, உன் அழகை காட்டு அருணாசலா. Padacchēdam (word-separation): ūr suṯṟu uḷam viḍādu uṉai kaṇḍu aḍaṅgiḍa, uṉ aṙahai kāṭṭu aruṇācalā. English translation: Arunachala, so that seeing you uninterruptedly the mind, which roams the world, will subside completely, show your beauty. Explanatory paraphrase: Arunachala, so that seeing you uninterruptedly [my] mind, which roams the world, will subside [or cease] completely, show [me] your beauty [the infinite beauty of your real nature].

Lecture given by Swami B.P. Padmanabha on March 15th, 2020: Panca-tattva Series, Gadadhara - Svarupa-sakti

By the intervention of God and God's devotees, a seeker may rise to the highest state of spiritual realization, called bhakti. Understanding that mere negation can transport one only to the outer border of transcendence, one can embark on the next stage of complete spiritual restoration by attaining of one's own eternal, spiritual individuality as part and parcel of, and joyous servant to, the Supreme Spiritual Being, Krsna. In this relationship, liberation is experience not merely as the absence of suffering, but as endless, ever-increasing, variegated spiritual bliss. Even the material world—rejected in jnana —returns in bhakti, unveiled by illusion, as the Lord's own handiwork and residence, and thus, as full of joy. This is the last in the series.

Sufficient experience on the platform of karma may produce the recognition that each and every worldly satisfaction carries, at its core, suffering. This disillusionment may engender a wholesale rejection of the world and a dedication toward transcendence. In this stage (which we call jyäna), one strives to gain the eternal and unchanging by the negation of all name, form, qualities, individuality, personality, etc. One seek the dissolution of his or her individuality to become one with the impersonal absolute. This is a “spiritual” God-project, but my perfection of becoming One with God is really the opposite, a kind of spiritual suicide. I have become nothing—or “Nothing.” Something is still missing. This is part 2 of a 3 part series.

God seems to have it all. All power, all wealth, all everything! Who wouldn't like to be God? In fact, the Bhakti scriptures describe that our desire to be God seems to have gotten us into this material mess of a world in the first place. Are we God? Can we become God or return to being God? This is part 1 of a 3 part series.

As we enter the Christmas season, and songs about God are playing everywhere, we might ask ours – who does God belong to? Is He a Christian God, a Jewish God, a Muslim God? Today's talk will explore these questions with the Bhakti theology and the teachings of Srila Prabhupada.
