02/10/24 evening – Atma-anubhuti, self-realisation (English) | Perth, Australia | Srila BV Vana Maharaja
- The human body is rare.
- God created a man because a man can do bhajana and sadhana to Him.
- The bodily designation prevents us from realising that we are the servants of the Lord.
- Brihat-chaitanya (the Lord) and anu-chaitanya (jiva).
- Self-realisation is the best realisation.
- Devi Parvati asks Shivaji about his atma-anubhuti (personal realisation).
- You are not alone. God is always with you.
- Do not look at the faults of others. Point your index finger at yourself while chanting the holy names.
- Avoid nama-aparadha. Otherwise you will chant for many years without any effect (example of a boat at anchor).
- Jaiva-dharma is a very important grantha.
