10 Oct 2023 morning walk – The position of the soul in the material world (Hindi) – Brisbane, Australia | Srila BV Vana Maharaja

PART 1

  • Jiva-maya is how the jiva souls become deluded. Catur-shloki in Srimad Bhagavatam describes.
  • Maya is one, but by the different activities, it is known by different names.
  • When the jiva forgets Bhagavan and wants to enjoy in this world, Maha-maya punishes the living entity.
  • We do not hold maya, the soul is pure and coming from God, this is the tattva.
  • Maya cannot catch the jiva, because they are conscious, transcendental.
  • Maya is surrounding the jiva from all sides by the order of Bhagavan.
  • The soul is smaller than a molecule.
  • Example is given of electricity: the origin is one, but it fuels many activities.
  • The svarupa-shakti of God is one, but in many ways it manifests.
  • Only by hearing harikatha and doing bhajana can we understand, not by hearing alone.
  • Maya means mercy, to punish is also mercy, like the police punish transgressors, they are not your enemy.
  • Story of the family from India who came to Germany and the charge for using the bathroom.
