An Exposition of the First Six Chapters of the Bhagavadgita Discourse 14: The Coming of God as an Incarnation - 2 Swami Krishnananda. ==================================================================================================== A kind of threat was felt by a region of mankind, in Judea, when it was necessary for a person like Christ to come there, and another kind of threat was in Mecca when a person like Mohammed had to come as a prophet, and there was another kind of threat, as we have described in the Puranas and the epics, which necessitated the coming of the Incarnations described, said to be the forms of Vishnu. Now, what are these threats which God would be conscious of? God would be very, very aware and very vigilant about anything that is happeni...

Books:  Bhagavad Gita The Relevance of the Bhagavadgita to Humanity 14-1: Swami Krishnananda. An Exposition of the First Six Chapters of the Bhagavadgita Discourse 14: The Coming of God as an Incarnation - 1 Swami Krishnananda. ==================================================================================================== Discourse 14: The Coming of God as an Incarnation -1. The role of the divine immanence in the processes of this world, which we were trying to discuss yesterday, is effected by the omniscience of this presence through its Incarnation that takes place at that moment when it is felt necessary. The phenomenon of divine Incarnation is something which religious philosophy has not been able to understand clearly. What exactly is the Incarnation? How does it take place? We shall not be able to understand what it is because no one can un...

Swami Krishnananda. ==================================================================================================== One lady, it is said, who had some distress of her own, was coming every day and prostrating herself before the saint, keeping in his presence a little sweet porridge in a mud vessel, offering her obeisance, and going without uttering a single word as to why she was doing that. The saint also uttered nothing. Every day this was happening. She would come and prostrate herself, keep this porridge, do namaskar, and go away. It appears a year passed when neither she would say anything, nor he would say anything. After a year the saint...

Books:  Bhagavad Gita The Relevance of the Bhagavadgita to Humanity 13-3: Swami Krishnananda. An Exposition of the First Six Chapters of the Bhagavadgita Discourse 13: The Supremely Friendly Power:3. Swami Krishnananda. ==================================================================================================== God loves you, say the saints and the sages, more than you love God. It is difficult to understand. Saints and sages, devotees, weep day in and day out, shedding tears, remembering the love God has for themselves, for creation, for everybody. It is said in the Bhakti Shastras, scriptures in devotion, that if you take one step ahead in the direction of God, God will come running, taking one hundred steps toward you. God wants you more than you want Him. Your wanting Him is a great thing, but what to speak about His wanting you? The whole ...

Books:  Bhagavad Gita The Relevance of the Bhagavadgita to Humanity 13-2: Swami Krishnananda. An Exposition of the First Six Chapters of the Bhagavadgita Discourse 13: The Supremely Friendly Power:2. Swami Krishnananda. ==================================================================================================== Human capacity has a touch of egoism behind it. Our confidence that we can do something is not dissociated from an element of self-confidence, which is identifiable with our bodily individuality. Instances which are galore in the epics and the Puranas make out that God does help, but only when His help is necessary. It is necessary to feel the unavoidable presence of the Almighty in a given circumstance. If we feel that His presence may not be necessary, then that incarnation may not take place. Do you sometimes feel that His presence i...

Swami Krishnananda. ====================================================================================================== This very image of Nara-Narayana or Krishna-Arjuna as friends is given to us in another form in a passage of the Veda, and also in a passage which is repeated in the Mundaka Upanishad, that there are two birds perching on the branch of a tree. One bird is very busy with the delicious fruits of the tree, and the other bird is minding not as to what is there at all, not eating, not concerning itself with anything. The unfortunate part of it is that this busy bird eating the sweet plums is not even aware that the other bird is there nearby...
