In this discourse Swami Bhoomananda Tirtha Ji helps us understand the true nature of spiritual excellence and how one can achieve it by enriching one’s mind and intelligence.
KEEP READINGHappiness is the most important pursuit of life. Everything that one does is with a view to have happiness. But if the sukha depends on our sense organs (Indriya sukha), it would be a very temporary joy and will only last till the object and the senses are in contact with each other. It will never be permanent.
KEEP READING“When you move in the world of senses, free from attachment and aversion alike, there comes peace in which all sorrows end, and you live in the wisdom of the Self.”
KEEP READINGSwamiji goes deep into the term tattva-darshibhih – those who are given to constant introspection on the subtle Truths of life. These Truths cannot be submitted to any objective analysis, and can only be penetrated by our intelligence, says Swamiji.
Right from ancient times Rishis have been given to this introspection. As a result, Upanishadic thought revolved around the impersonal, imperishable Self, which is everyone’s unchanging identity, “I”. People were able to evolve to that level only because they were given to tattva-darshana.
KEEP READINGIn this clip, Swami Nirvisheshananda ji induces one to introspect on where the real focus of Bhagavad Gita is! “Bhagavad Gita does not speak about anything objective or external. Whether it is the concept of Samatva (even-mindedness), Phala-tyaaga (relinquishing results) or Sannyasa(renunciation), Bhagavad Gita speaks only about the internal results (responses produced in the mind)”.
