We are going to be speaking on a very relevant subject for all of us. But before we begin, we’re going to do some very easy meditation. I’ll be presenting an understanding from the yoga philosophy. There’re many different yoga systems, yoga paths. But in all the different paths meditation is one of the main activities. And we will be doing...
More2. WHO ARE WE? (VIDEO)
Before I begin, I always offer my respects to my spiritual masters, my teachers who have brought this knowledge to us. All the information I’ll be presenting comes from the Vedic scriptures. The Vedas are very ancient scriptures, they were written down 5 000 years ago. But the knowledge itself is eternal. So, prior to be written down, it was passed...
More3. Need for love (VIDEO)
Love is something that is so prevalent in our life, so needed in our life and so strong. In fact, we go through life trying to find it. We’re very concerned about: will somebody love me or not? We dress a certain way to attract love. We may wear perfumes, fix our hair a certain ways, go to the gym, build our muscles, talk cool, act cool, drive nice...
More4. We live in illusion (VIDEO)
So, really, it’s not like we like it. It’s like we must have it. Why is it in this world that love which causes the most happiness, or it is supposed to, oftentimes ends up causing us the most pain? The more we love someone, the more pain it causes. Why is it that the one we love the most is the one we wind up hating the most? You see? It...
More5. LOVE IS THE OPPOSITE OF LUST
So, here is what we don’t know. The soul has this quality of love. We come into the material world, we are covered with this illusion, the false ego. The soul emanates its qualities through this false ego illusion. And it comes out on the other side not as love but as lust. Think like this: there’s a light, a pure white light. When you pass this white...
More6. WHERE TO FIND TRUE LOVE?
What are we going to do about it? We can’t not have love. It’s like the man in the desert – he needs water. You can just give him all kinds of philosophy, “Oh, you don’t need water. Don’t worry about this. Think positive. It’s only been five days since you had a drink. Do you remember how good the water was before? Don’t worry!” But The...
More7. SPIRITUAL RELATIONSHIP
We might love someone so much, but then death separates us, inevitably it’s like that. At a wedding ceremony this is declared, “I promise to love you until death do us part. So, it’s already built in, “I love you until we are parted by death.” So, it’s temporary and it doesn’t fulfill us completely anyway. And then we’re so sad when our...
More8. THE TRUTH ABOUT LOVE
So, we’re all looking for love. Why not look in the right place, give up looking in the wrong place? Then we will find it. Because the Supreme Lord loves us all unconditionally, eternally. See, He already loves us, no matter what we do. We turn our back on Him, we declare He doesn’t exist, we do whatever sinful things we do, but He still loves us. You...
More9. HOW CAN YOU PURIFY YOUR HEART?
How do you cleanse the heart? The Supreme Lord tells us exactly how to do that. He says, “If you chant My names…” The Supreme Lord has many, many names, an unlimited number of names. They’re all endowed with His spiritual potency. He says, “If you chant these names, it will cleanse your heart of all the dust accumulated for years together, all the...
More10. Why are you so sure that the soul exists? Prove it.
Are there relative souls according to the Vedic literature? Why are you so confident in existence of the soul? Give proof. We’re all relatives. We all have a common Father. So, therefore, we’re all relatives eternally. That’s the true understanding. In this material world in our different lives we come together with certain individuals for some time...
