Sri Uddhava said: My dear Krishna, generally human beings know that material life brings great future unhappiness, and still they try to enjoy material life. My dear Lord, how can one in knowledge act just like a dog, an ass or a goat? The Supreme Personality of Godhead said: My dear Uddhava, a person bereft of intelligence first falsely identifies himself with the material body and mind, and when such false knowledge arises within one’s consciousness, material passion, the cause of great suffering, pervades the mind, which by nature is situated in goodness (satogun). Then the mind, contaminated by passion, becomes absorbed in making and changing many plans for material advancement. Thus, by constantly thinking of the modes of material nature, a foolish person is afflicted with unbearable material desires.

The chapter discusses the field of activities (the body), the knower of the field (the soul), material nature, and liberation. It explains that the soul is present in all bodies as the overseer and is different from the body. It is subtle, pervading, and the source of all senses. One who understands the difference between the body and the soul and how entanglement occurs in material nature becomes liberated from repeated birth and death.

Buddhism for you lesson 08-kamma
Kamma refers to intentional actions through body, speech, and mind that have moral or immoral consequences. Every action has a corresponding reaction or result. Ignorance and craving are the root causes of kamma. Kamma is not fatalistic, as one can divert the course of their kamma through effort. The five niyamas describe natural laws governing physical and mental phenomena. One is responsible for one's kamma and circumstances, but these can also be transcended by eliminating craving and ignorance.

Brahmacharya - Celibacy R1
When semen is preserved, it gets reabsorbed by the body and stored in the brain as Ojas Shakti or Spiritual Power. The vital force is closely linked with the nervous system. Hence, it is vitally necessary to preserve it carefully if one desires to have strong nerves. Girls, too, suffer great loss through having unchaste thoughts and giving way to lust. Vital nervous energy is lost. There is a corresponding loss of Veerya (vital fluid) in them as well.

Bg ch-14
This document provides a summary and explanation of chapter 14 of the Bhagavad Gita. It discusses the three gunas or qualities - sattva, rajas, and tamas - that influence the mind.

It describes how transcending the gunas leads to the immortal, immutable state of Brahman.

The holy geeta chapter 3-karma yoga
The Chapter 3, entitled " Karma Yoga" is an elaboration of the Hindu ideal of "Selfless Action" first introduced by the famous verse 47 in Chapter 2--Karmanyevaadhikaarasthe-----. After hearing the exposition of various ways of attaining liberation in Chapter 2, Arjuna is really confused. Still deluded, he wanted a confirmation of his desire to quit the war & take-up Sannyasa. So he raises the question : If Krishna feels that the path of knowledge is better than the path of action, why is he being goaded to fight this war? He wanted a clear cut answer to his quest for a righteous life. In reply to this question, the Lord elaborates on the principle of Karma Yoga, the Yoga of selfless action in this chapter 3.

Wisdom of Srimad Bhagavatam (1)
The Supreme Personality of Godhead said: The three modes of material nature, namely goodness (satogun), passion (rajogun) and ignorance (tamogun), pertain to material intelligence and not to the spirit soul.
By development of material goodness one can conquer the modes of passion and ignorance, and by cultivation of transcendental goodness one may free oneself even from material goodness.
If one uses his mind and body to cultivate knowledge, then such enlightenment destroys the influence of the modes of nature that generated one’s body. Thus, like the fire, the body and mind are pacified by their own actions in destroying the source of their birth.
Evil eyes
The document discusses the concept of "dhristi" or evil eye in Hinduism. It describes dhristi as negative energy that stems from emotions like jealousy and can impact people physically or psychologically. Common techniques to ward off dhristi mentioned include using fruits like lemons and limes, burning camphor, visiting temples, and spiritual remedies like prayers and mantras. Visiting the temple of Lord Balaji in Tirupati on Thursdays is considered especially effective due to the belief that on this day the Lord's eyes are open.

ADS8 - On the Accomplishment of Wisdom
Listen! Rama, I am now telling you the secret of accomplishment. Of all the requisites for wisdom, Divine Grace is the most important. He who has entirely surrendered himself to the Goddess (Pure Consciousness by devotion through a true Guru) is sure to gain wisdom readily. Rama! This is the best of all the methods.
This method does not require other aids to reinforce its efficiency, as other methods do for accomplishing the end. This is hard for those whose minds are directed outward; and it is easy, sure and quick for devotees engrossed in the Goddess of the Self to the exclusion of all else.
The dream of vishnu nothingness
The document discusses the Buddhist concept of "nothingness" and how it is often misunderstood. It argues that inaction is not the same as renunciation of attachment to fruits of actions. True renunciation means performing one's duties without expectation of results. All beings in the world, including the sun and trees, act according to their nature for the benefit of the world. True wisdom and detachment come from performing selfless actions without desire for rewards.
Bg ch-3
This document provides a summary and explanation of chapter 3 of the Bhagavad Gita. It discusses the key points that Lord Krishna explains how it is everyone's duty to perform their responsibilities according to their stage of life. Further, Lord Krishna explains that selfless action performed with dedication and surrender, without attachment to results, is the right path for self-development, not total renunciation of action. Arjuna remains confused by these teachings, so Krishna clarifies that both the path of knowledge and the path of action can lead to liberation, depending on one's temperament, and that true renunciation means renouncing selfish desires, not physical inaction.
The holy geeta chapter 12-bhakti yoga
Chapter 12, Bhakti Yoga or the Path of Devotion discusses the principle of devotion, the characteristics of a devotee & how to attain the Supreme through devotion. The last chapter ends with the statement of the Lord that only through unwavering devotion, one will be able to see & merge with the Universal-Form of the Lord. This creates a doubt in Arjuna as to the proper way of worship, & the chapter starts with a question from him.
Upadesamrita (Text 1)
The document provides guidance on controlling the urges of speech, mind, anger, and body based on instructions from the Bhagavad Gita and Srimad Bhagavatam. It discusses how to engage these urges in service to Krishna rather than for sense gratification. Specifically, it recommends engaging speech in krishna katha, fixing the mind on Krishna, using anger to protect devotees or spread Krishna consciousness, and eating only prasadam to control the tongue and belly. Association with pure devotees is emphasized as the best means to achieve this transcendental engagement of material urges and attain atonement of the soul.
Upadesamrita (Text 1)
The document discusses controlling the urges of speech, mind, and body through Krishna consciousness. It explains that the urges can be engaged in devotional service to Krishna instead of sinful activities. Real atonement involves awakening our dormant Krishna consciousness through association with pure devotees and by following the process of devotional service like chanting, hearing, etc. Controlling the urges is important for spiritual advancement and liberation from the cycle of birth and death.
Reincarnation Project
The document discusses reincarnation in Hinduism and Buddhism. In Hinduism, reincarnation is part of the cycle of samsara by which the soul is reborn into different forms to work off karma until achieving moksha or enlightenment. Buddhism also believes in reincarnation and samsara, but sees the concept of self as an illusion, with rebirth determined by karma. The document outlines different paths to salvation or enlightenment in the two religions, such as yoga, devotion, and following the Eightfold Path to end suffering in Buddhism. It contrasts the Theravada and Mahayana Buddhist traditions and their views of rebirth.

Lord Mahadev - Uma discourse on Women's Duties from the Epic 'Mahabharata'. Uma concludes: 'Maheshwara, I do not desire Heaven itself if thou art not satisfied with me'.
Women (p1 mb 2) sumana-sandili
A discourse on the excellent behaviour of good and chaste women and their power in the three worlds as revealed in the Epic 'Mahabharata'.
Women (p2 mb 2) husband-wife dharma
No man even in anger, should do anything that is disagreeable to his wife, seeing that happiness, joy and virtue, - everything depends on the wife. A wonderful discourse from the Epic 'Mahabharata'.
Women (p1 mb 3) women-no fault
Due to their natural disposition women cannot be regarded as offenders. It is the men who should be stained with guilt of any wrongdoing to women. A wonderful discourse from the Epic 'Mahabharata'.
Women (p1 mb 1) narada-panchachuda
Women are said to be naturally sinful and the root of all evil according to ancient Hindu scriptures. The celestial being Panchachuda lists the many faults of women as understood in these scriptures, such as their inability to remain faithful, their constant desire for new male companions, and their lack of restraint even for husbands who treat them well. Women are seen as inherently lacking self-control and morality. Originally, women were created virtuous, but Brahma later created the current form of women with the aid of illusion to instill in them lust, desire, and inability to be restrained in order to stop humanity's progression towards godhood.
Celibacy 4 - Right Company and Firm Decision
The sexual impulse has been there for countless lives, and you never know when it will rise again. Therefore, it is important to remain in the right company. If you go out of right company, because of the existing impulse, sexuality will start to sprout all over again.
What is nischaya (determined decision)? Nischaya means, no matter how powerful an army of worldly difficulties arises with attacks, you would not back off.
What is nischaya? It is to stop all other thoughts and come onto only one thought. If you make a firm decision, all the evidences will come together and make it happen. If your decision is not firm then the evidences will not come together and your goal will not be accomplished.
Celibacy 3 - Importance of Brahamacharya
True understanding is one that produces results. All other understanding is unfruitful.
Mind, intellect, chit and ego should remain in brahmacharya. And if mind, intellect, chit and ego turn towards brahmacharya, then the external sexuality will shed off automatically.
The illusion of sex is such that it will sink all, even the one who thinks that he has no attachment to anything in the world. This illusion of sex has sunk great sages and masters from tremendous spiritual heights.
Celibacy 2 - Means of Attaining Brahamacharya
This document discusses different means of attaining brahmacharya or celibacy. It states that jnana (spiritual knowledge) and finding the right guru are necessary for controlling sexual desires and achieving brahmacharya. Mere external restraints like avoiding marriage are not sufficient, as the root causes of sexuality lie in ignorance. Only by uprooting this ignorance through jnana can one truly attain freedom from sexual impulses and desires. The cycle of rebirth will continue until one seeks out a true master to help achieve liberation from this ignorance.
Celibacy 1 - The Detailed Analysis of Sexuality
Brahmacharya means control of the Veerya. The vital force or Veerya is preserved only by one who is established in the practice of Brahmacharya. The vital fluid or semen is lost and wasted during sexual indulgence.
From food comes juice or chyle; from chyle comes blood and flesh; from flesh comes fat; from fat comes bones; from bones come marrow. Lastly, from marrow comes semen.
The Veerya comes out of the very marrow concealed in the bones. It is found in a subtle state in all the cells of the body. Mark here how precious the semen is! It is the last essence of food. It is the essence of essences.
In Yoga Shastra it is stated: "The falling of semen brings death; the preservation of it gives life." 'The nemesis of reproduction is death. The sexual act is essentially katabolic (or a movement towards death) in the male, and in parturition of the offspring it is katabolic for the female.'
"The future is for the nations who are chaste". Tom Mann
ADS7 - Vidya Gita
My concrete form is the eternal couple - the Supreme Lord and Energy - always in undivided union and abiding as the eternal consciousness pervading the three phenomenal states of waking, dream and sleep, and reclining on the cot whose four legs are Brahma (the Creator), Vishnu (the Protector), Siva (the Destroyer) and Isvara (Disappearance) and whose surface is Sadasiva (Grace) which is contained in the mansion known as 'fulfilment of purpose' enclosed by the garden of 'Kadamba' trees in the jewel island situated in the wide ocean of nectar surrounding the cosmos and extending beyond.
|
Brahma, Vishnu, Siva, Isvara, Sadasiva, Ganesa, Skanda, the gods of the eight quarters, their energies, other gods, celestials, serpents and other superhuman beings are all manifestations of myself. However, people do not know ME because their intellect is shrouded in ignorance.
I grant boons to those who worship ME. There is no one besides ME worthy of worship or capable of fulfilling all desires.
ADS6 - Different States of the Wise (Jnanis)
What kind of effort can avail to disclose the eternally self-resplendent consciousness?
|
• Being coated with a thick crust of infinite vasanas (dispositions), it is not easily perceived.
• The incrustation must first be soaked in the running stream of mind control and carefully scraped off with the sharp chisel of investigation.
• Then one must turn the closed urn of crystal quartz - namely, the mind cleaned in the aforesaid manner - on the grinding wheel of alertness and finally open the lid with the lever of discrimination.
• Lo! The gem enclosed within is now reached and that is all!
Intellects are the cumulative effects of the predispositions acquired by karma. Effort is necessary so long as the predispositions continue to sway the intellect
ADS5 - On Self and Bondage
Diversity is visible only in space, and this space is in the Self, which in turn projects it at the moment when differentiation starts although it is not then clear. Rama! Look within.
|
• What you perceive as space within is the expanse wherein all creatures exist, and it forms their ‘Self’ or consciousness.
• What they look upon as space is your ‘Self’.
• Thus, the ‘Self’ in one is space in another, and vice versa.
• The same thing cannot differ in its nature.
• Therefore there is no difference between space and ‘Self’ - which is full and perfect Bliss-Consciousness.
The strongest fetter is the certainty that one is bound. It is as false as the fearful hallucinations of a frightened child. Even the best of men cannot find release by any amount of efforts unless his sense of bondage is destroyed.
ADS4 - The Way to Wisdom
An aspirant for wisdom first turns away from the pleasures of life and absorbs himself in the search for knowledge, which he learns from a master. This is hearsay knowledge.
In order to experience it, he ponders over it and clears his doubts. Then he applies the knowledge to himself and tries to feel his immortal being transcending the body, mind, etc., he succeeds in feeling his Self within.
Later he remembers the teaching imparted by his Guru that the Self being unqualified, cannot be differentiated from God and experiences his unity with the Universal Self. This is in short the course of wisdom and liberation.
ADS3 - On Method of Self-Realization
If you infer its eternal light, then closely investigate whether the light is of itself or not. Everybody fails in this investigation however learned and proficient he may be, because his mind is not bent inward but restlessly moves outward.
|
• As long as thoughts crop up, so long has the turning inward of the mind not been accomplished.
• As long as the mind is not inward, so long the Self cannot be realised.
• Turning inward means absence of desire.
• How can the mind be fixed within if desires are not given up?
Therefore become dispassionate and inhere as the Self. Such inherence is spontaneous (no effort is needed to inhere as the Self). It is realised after thoughts are eliminated and investigation ceases.
ADS2 - Cosmic Intelligence and Reality of the Universe
All that is seen has an origin and there must therefore be an antecedent cause for it.
If a thing can appear without a cause there is no relation between cause and effect, and there can be no harmony in the world. A potter's work may lead to a weaver's products, and vice versa, which is absurd. Each occurrence must have a cause for it; that is the rule.
The universe must have a Creator, and He must be an intelligent principle, but He cannot be of any known type because of the vastness of the creation. His power is past understanding and is dealt with in the Scriptures, whose authority is incontrovertible.
This whole universe consisting of the mobile and the immobile, arises from, abides in, and resolves into Him. This is the final and well-known conclusion of the Scriptures; and the Scriptures never err. The guide by which one can apprehend the metaphysical and transcendental matters is Scripture alone.
ADS1 - The Story of Hemalekha and Hemachuda
Investigation is the root-cause of all, and it is the first step to the supreme reward of indescribable bliss. How can anyone gain security without proper investigation? A deliberating man always shines over others. Brahma is great because of deliberation; Vishnu is worshipped because of it.
Association with the Wise Must Precede "Vichara" – Deliberation – Self-Enquiry. A man undoubtedly reaps the fruits of his company. I shall relate to you a story to illustrate this:
"There was once a king of Dasarna by name Muktachuda. He had two sons: Hemachuda and Manichuda. They were comely, well-behaved and well-learned. At one time they led a hunting party, consisting of a great retinue of men and warriors, into a deep forest which was infested with tigers, lions and other wild animals…
Fie on human beings who appraise the foulest part of the body as the most delightful. If one should see beauty in that body-part which is wet with impure excretions, where will not man see beauty? Tell me!
The Doctrine of Filial Duty - Teachings of Confucius
Then said Confucius: "The duty of children to their parents is the fountain whence all other virtues spring and also the starting-point from which we ought to begin our education:
• Our body and hair and skin are all derived from our parents, and therefore we have no right to injure any of them in the least. This is the first duty of a child.
• To live an upright life and to spread the great doctrines of humanity must win good reputation after death, and reflect great honour upon our parents. This is the last duty of a son.
Hence the first duty of a son is to pay a careful attention to every want of his parents. The next is to serve his government loyally; and the last to establish a good name for himself.”

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

Wisdom of Srimad Bhagavatam (2)
- 1. 1 Wisdom of Srimad Bhagavatam (2) The Hamsa-avatara Answers the Questions of the Sons of Brahma Material life brings great future unhappiness, and still we try to enjoy material life – what an irony? Canto11:Chapter13:8 Sri Uddhava said: My dear Krishna, generally human beings know that material life brings great future unhappiness, and still they try to enjoy material life. My dear Lord, how can one in knowledge act just like a dog, an ass or a goat? Observation It is a valid question by Uddhava because only human beings have been blessed with buddhi, the power to differentiate between the right and wrong, a feature of creative element Ether that makes all human beings different from animals. ‘One in knowledge act’ implies that one who does not use this faculty judiciously is no different from an animal. Animals have only four creative elements invoked in them and Ether is dormant. Krishna’s Reply A person bereft of intelligence first falsely identifies himself with the material body and mind 11:13:9-10 The Supreme Personality of Godhead said: My dear Uddhava, a person bereft of intelligence first falsely identifies himself with the material body and mind, and when such false knowledge arises within one’s consciousness, material passion, the cause of great suffering, pervades the mind, which by nature is situated in goodness (satogun).
- 2. 2 Then the mind, contaminated by passion, becomes absorbed in making and changing many plans for material advancement. Thus, by constantly thinking of the modes of material nature, a foolish person is afflicted with unbearable material desires. One who does not control the material senses comes under the control of material desires 11:13:11 One who does not control the material senses comes under the control of material desires and is thus bewildered by the strong waves of the mode of passion. Such a person executes material activities, although clearly seeing that the result will be future unhappiness. Although the intelligence of a learned person may be bewildered by the modes of passion and ignorance 11:13:12 Although the intelligence of a learned person may be bewildered by the modes of passion and ignorance, he should again carefully bring the mind under control. By clearly seeing the contamination of the modes of nature, he does not become attached. A person should be attentive and grave and never lazy or morose 11:13:13 A person should be attentive and grave and never lazy or morose. Mastering the yoga procedures of breathing and
- 3. 3 sitting properly, one should practice fixing the mind on Me at dawn, noon and sunset, and thus gradually the mind should be completely absorbed in Me. Having withdrawn the mind from all other objects, one should directly and appropriately absorb it in Me 11:13:14 The actual yoga system as taught by My devotees, headed by Sanaka-kumara, is simply this: Having withdrawn the mind from all other objects, one should directly and appropriately absorb it in Me. And how this absorption is to be carried out effectively is clearly revealed in Garuda Purana, Chapter 16 as under Garuda! There is no liberation by the study of the Vedas, or by the reading of the Shastras. The four stages of life are not the cause of liberation, nor are the six philosophies, nor are good deeds, - knowledge only is the cause. The word from the Teacher gives liberation; all learning is masquerade. Repetition of the Name of God received as spoken word from the mouth of a realized Teacher is the way to liberation. The non-dual, verily declared auspicious, is beyond efforts of action, and to be obtained by the word of the Teacher, not by the study of tens of millions of texts. Look for a Fully Realized Teacher – A True Guru
