Chapter 9: The Classification of Society-1. The First Six Chapters of the Bhagavadgita:  Swami Krishnananda (Spoken on Bhagavadgita Jayanti ======================================================================================== Dispassionate thinking is a great virtue, the greatest of virtues. To analyse one's circumstance in this world honesty is an endowment and a great achievement indeed. To the extent I receive support from others, to that extent I also have to contribute my support to that. The world is a cooperative existence. Individuals do not exist in the world. There are no such things as individuals, finally. The whole human society is a fabric of interconnections, interrelations and interdependence. In that sense, we may say the whole of human society is one person. Taken to the logical limits, thi...

The Relevance of the Bhagavadgita to Humanity: Chapter 8: The Realism and Idealism of the Bhagavadgita-5. The First Six Chapters of the Bhagavadgita:  Swami Krishnananda (Spoken on Bhagavadgita Jayanti ======================================================================================== Our personality is made up of certain levels. The personality of ours looks like an abstract thing. It is not necessarily the physical body. It is abstract in the sense that a human being is also some abstract principle, finally. We cannot say that we are a body, though it looks like we are that only. All the values that we admire in life are not necessarily material and physical, because we have seen that a materially well-placed and physically well-built personality is not necessarily a complete personality, not a satisfied personality. Our involvements are the levels of our ...

The Relevance of the Bhagavadgita to Humanity: Chapter 8: The Realism and Idealism of the Bhagavadgita-4 The First Six Chapters of the Bhagavadgita:  Swami Krishnananda (Spoken on Bhagavadgita Jayanti ======================================================================================== The student has to approach the teacher in this manner. This student should not think he already knows something which the teacher also knows. If that is the case, to that extent he will not be submissive, and he will not be receptive. A deconditioning of the mind is necessary before we try to learn anything. We should not have preconceived notions in our heads and go with some kind of boasted knowledge while we are students. “Empty thyself and I shall fill thee.” But if you have already come filled, what can I give you? One of the conditions of a good student, a studentship or ...

The Relevance of the Bhagavadgita to Humanity : Chapter 8: The Realism and Idealism of the Bhagavadgita-3 The First Six Chapters of the Bhagavadgita:  Swami Krishnananda (Spoken on Bhagavadgita Jayanti ======================================================================================== Some of the extra-cosmic enthusiasms of religious phases today become a kind of anathema to realistically minded, socially minded, politically minded outlooks in life, not because religion is bad, but a religion that is unrelated to facts of life loses its meaning. And if there is any outlook of the religious ideal which plants itself firmly on even the lowest values of reality, we have here in the Bhagavadgita a grand consummation of that integrated outlook. It is a friend of the poor, and it is also a friend of the Supreme Creator of the universe. From the uttermost povert...
