Books: Bhagavad Gita The Relevance of the Bhagavadgita to Humanity 12-1:  Chapter 12: Control of the Senses: 1. Swami Krishnananda. ==================================================================================================== Discourse 12: Control of the Senses-1. A wonderful message the blessed Arjuna receives from Bhagavan Sri Krishna in a brief encounter, as it were, as a response to quandaries that beset the mind of Arjuna as we have them portrayed in the First Chapter of the Bhagavadgita. Arjuna listens to all this with rapt attention and then says, “It is enrapturing indeed to hear your cosmic message, but how is it that no one seems to be in a position to make it a part of one's practical day-to-day existence? It is the same old humdrum life of toil, upset, suffering and anxiety, in spite of it being possible for any sensible person...

Swami Krishnananda. ==================================================================================================== Chapter 11: Participating with the Intention of the Universe-5. Prakriti determines every character, and each one of us is one particular character. The whole presentation of a dramatic performance is a total picture that is presented before an audience. That total picture assumes a meaning if every actor participates in a given manner at a given moment, but if each one independently acts – I shall do whatever I like – then there is no totality of the dramatic presentation. There is a script prepared by the director of the drama, or there is an intention of the director, we may say; that scrip...

Books Srimad Bhagavad Gita The Relevance of the Bhagavadgita to Humanity 11-4:  Chapter 11: Participating with the Intention of the Universe-4. Swami Krishnananda. ==================================================================================================== There is a beautiful phrase uttered by a modern thinker: The universe is in travail at the birth of even a single event. Travail is the pang of birth, and at the birth of even a single event in the world, the pang is felt by the whole universe because the whole universe is made up of such substance as is present in the operation and activation of any event anywhere. Or, to give our old homely example, the activity of any single part of our body is, at the same time, the activity of the whole body. Thus, unless the whole universe contributes its might and cooperates in a given manner...

Swami Krishnananda. ======================================================================================= In the intensity of expression, in a differentiated manner, they look like various bodies – the physical body, the astral body, the causal body, or, as you might have heard, there are five layers of our individuality. These are called, in our Sanskrit language, annamaya, pranamaya, manomaya, vijnanamaya and anandamaya koshas. The physical, the vital, the mental, the intellectual, and the causal layers are not five shirts put on by the Atman. They are a thick layer of cloud distributed in a variegated intensity of expression, as a cloud may cover the sun and we cannot say there are many kinds of cloud. Cloud ...

The Relevance of the Bhagavadgita to Humanity 11-2:  Chapter 11: Participating with the Intention of the Universe-2. Swami Krishnananda. ============================================================================================ The energies – sattva, rajas and tamas – can arrange themselves in any form; a particular form that they take is called a world, and we are a part of the world. Inasmuch as our mind, our consciousness, our intelligence is tethered to this particular form only, we cannot visualise any world other than this particular world. Our consciousness is tied to this body so forcefully that we cannot imagine that there can be anything other than this body. It is the only reality. In a similar way, the perceptive consciousness gets accustomed, by a vehemence of association, with this particular picture presented by a given pattern of the ...

Chapter 10: The Need for Sankhya-6. The First Six Chapters of the Bhagavadgita:  Swami Krishnananda (Spoken on Bhagavadgita Jayanti =================================================================================== Actually, what we call the world is nothing but an outsideness in the mind. If the outsideness has vanished and is not there, then there is no world. Imagine a condition where externality is lifted up. Let the mountains be there, let the trees be there, let the sun be there, let the moon be there, let the river be there, but externality is not there. The world ceases to be, in one second. The world is nothing but externality. It is not a substance. Inasmuch as externality is necessary for experience of the world, and externality itself is not a substance, the world is considered as unsubstantia...
