BG 2.49: Seek refuge in divine knowledge and insight, O Arjun, and discard reward-seeking actions that are certainly inferior to works performed with the intellect established in divine knowledge. Miserly are those who seek to enjoy the fruits of their works.

The most extraordinary talents can become blinded by weaknesses like hubris, like Napoleon, or paranoia, like Steve Jobs, or self-doubt, like Othello.
But most of us can also think of times when we were so obsessed with develop...

    Swami Tattwamayanandaji has beautifully summarized the essence of verses 8 to 11 of chapter 12 of the Bhagavad Gita by first describing the descending order as seen in the chapter and then giving the ascending order to help seekers with their spiritual practice. Maharaj’s explanation provides much clarity and helpful guidance, very grateful.🙏🏼

    There's everything to appreciate about elevating and sanctifying about work, indeed every aspect of our lives, and surrendering and offering it to God, but isn't there still the proposition of right livelihood to consider? Should someone involved in bomb-making, check-forging, or presiding over a genocide offer these vocations to God? Aren't how we offer and what we offer part of the process of discrimination, refinement, and purification?

      Hello, In this short videos series, we will be posting short snippets from Bhagvad Gita which are useful to inculcate the knowledge in regular life. This particular snippet is from Chapter 12 and deals with devotion path. In earlier chapters of Gita, Sri Krishna explains righteous actions to Arjun and how can we determine righteous action. We eventually aim to bring important parts from entire Bhagvad Gita so we will cover that aspect in later videos as well. What you have brought up is very valid point and using ones intellectual discernment to identify right from wrong should also be perceived as devotional offering to lord. Here is entire lecture series on Gita. ruclips.net/video/z_81yZTkbDM/видео.html&pp=gAQBiAQB If you want to look up righteous action, please refer to chapter 2 and 3.

    If learning and understanding is a constant activity through the ages, you would automatically get to a higher level of refining. Not everyone will be able to do that but it is a logical consequence of 'sifting through' wisdom and knowledge. An inate tendency to search for truth is one of the forces pushing that.

  • @MarcelCramer

    Swami Vivekananda jumped in the vacuum in the west, around the turn of the century. There was an elevated hausse in interest for the 'orient' and 'things spiritual'. The right incarnation at the right moment 🙂

  • @MarcelCramer
    @MarcelCramer Месяц назад

    Most wars were because of 'gods' and not 'God'. And hiding behind 'gods' were powers that were craving for rule and resource. The 'gods' were simply the perfect coatrack to hang the story that served as justification for massacring others.

  • @MarcelCramer
    @MarcelCramer Месяц назад

    Surely 'Vedanta' is not a terminology 'invented' by Swami Vivekananda? It was pre-existing yes? From 'vedic' times coming before?

  • @MarcelCramer
    @MarcelCramer Месяц назад

    I do not believe that Swami Vivekananda could not foresee the 'terrible'. He was well connected in the west through various organized institutions amongst which the theosophists. And those, in their turn, got their funds from world players who were in control of moving chess pieces on the globe.

    Thank you Swami ji for this very clear lecture. Your explanation of the Four Noble Truths and the 12 Links of Dependent Origination is very helpful. Gautama the Buddha is now a world teacher, and through him, the teaching of the Upaniṣads in a humanistic form has taken root in every country in the world.

    Thank you swamiji on these lectures on the Buddha. on my "spiritual "journey I followed the Buddhas path And still have compassion for all sentient beings and all creation (Christian upbringing ) Advaita Vedanta is a brighter perpective .Though the Buddha didn't believe in a permanent "Self" yet karma and reincarnation the causal body returns again and again. which (i) believe by the way (i) view the world since childhood. an old song goes "silence is golden but my eyes still see "

    When Pot is made from Clay--- did the potness existed in clayness or not ? Then Pot is seen by us through clay. When you break the pot, you are saying Potness vanished and clay is resumed. Why cant we make another pot from the same clay? If you deny the existence of Pot after breaking the pot and resume to clay, then how can one make this Pot from the first clay? Paramartha Satha--- Is the ultimate reality _ that is Nirvisesa Brahman or attributeless Brahman- only " is"-------- This is like a seedless fruit. Empirical reality is same Brahman its is various empirical forms----- all these are within the domain of False ignorance---- "nothing assumed as something"-- Conceptual reality is within this Empirical reality - mistaking one thing for other--- Fake illusion. All these levels are ultimately within the Maya or avidya or illusion or superimposition or temporary reality or relative etc.-------- Ultimately needs to be eliminated to resume its Paramartha satha. Question to you- when Empirical and conceptual reality is existing, is paramartha satha is also existing or is it concealed? When you say " we, us, I or you" that is Jivahood is nothing but the result of the superimposition on this Paramartha sahta- Nirvisesa Brahman------ Vivekachudamani---- 192, 196, and 200 What is the content of the elimination of knowledge of this Empirical reality and conceptual reality-- Fake ignorance? Vivekachudamani states that Jiva is brahman knowledge will eliminate? is this real or unreal? All vedanta schools accepts removal of ignorance - But you are saying that there is only one Atma or brahman, same is imagining to be many and eliminating its own ignorance.
