We are all eternal servants of Krsna. Verse: jīvera ‘svarūpa’ haya — kṛṣṇera ‘nitya-dāsa’ kṛṣṇera ‘taṭasthā-śakti’ ‘bhedābheda-prakāśa’.
“All living entities are My integral parts, souls are eternal and transcendental” (Sri Krsna tells Arjuna, in Bhagavad Gita).
The soul is invisible to material eyes. By Krsna’s mercy, through the practice of sadhana and bhajana, one can see the form of the soul.
The body is the house, and the soul is like the owner of the house.
Our body works while the soul is inside it.
We identify ourselves with the material corporeal conception.
Many catastrophes happen, and every day many people die, but we never think that we will die.
Death can come at any time.
We must ask ourselves about where we came from and where we will go before we die.
Human life is not just about eating, sleeping, mating, and defending.
We have to ask ourselves about where we came from and where we are going, before we die.
The best philosophy is the one that inquires about the soul, the path of self-realization.
Self-realization is the best realisation.
Stay in your room, close the doors and windows, sit cross-legged and ask yourself: “Who am I?”.
Story of Isaac Newton and the law of gravity.
He who keeps his mind on the transcendental activities of the Lord is not born again in the material world. -The simplest method to know about his soul is chanting the holy names.
This material world is covered by maya, and the 3 types of miseries. The transcendental world is completely tranquil and peaceful.
Om Shanti, this mantra brings peace to the heart. “Shanti” means peace.
The simplest meaning of the Sanskrit term “Om” (aum): A – is Krsna, U – is Srimati Radhika, M – are the souls who serve the Divine Couple Radha and Krsna.
Atma-jnana, knowledge about the soul, has three types: tapadartha-jnana, knowledge about the Lord; tampdartha-jnana, knowledge about the soul; jiva-brahma-eka-jnana, which is knowledge about the soul and about God.
Samadhi is a state of deep meditation.
There are two types of samadhi: nirvikalpa and savikalpa-samadhi.
Samadhi, “dhi” means: to be aware of God. In this state you serve God consciously with your spiritual form, and this is the highest spiritual state there is. -The Lord is very merciful and has invested all His Power in His holy names.
Verse: harer nama harer nama. harer namaiva kevalam kalau nasty eva nasty eva nasty eva gatir anyatha (there is no other way).
The conclusion of our spiritual philosophy is that we should chant the holy names of God and be happy.
God is the repository and personification of bliss (ananda). If we meditate on Him, we will attain this bliss. Trancoso, Brazil
