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...

Without going into the metaphysical details of the classical Sankhya system, which is not essential for the present, we see what meaning we can have from the verse of the Bhagavadgita itself. The word 'prakriti' is used in the Bhagavadgita, which is one of the terms that occurs in the Sankhya system. The whole world is made up of prakriti. This prakriti is the substance of the whole world. By 'the world' we do not mean only this little Earth. The entire cosmos, the universe, is an expression of prakriti. This prakriti is constituted of certain forces, ...

However much we try to guard it by our imagined state of non-action, it will not survive. So why be so greedy about this body? Mrityu, death, should not deter us from entering into the field of duty, whatever that duty be as sanctioned in accordance with our stature in this world of nature and of human society. Now comes the third argument. Emotionally, you will be disturbed. If you are a renegade, a runaway, or a parasite, you would consider this life of degradation worse than death. Suppose that nobody wan...
