– How we live our human lives and the similarities and differences between human life and animal life.
– Devotional spiritual practice to the Lord is what differentiates us from animals.
– When inquisitive thought arises, the practice of spiritual life begins.
– In all previous lives, we enjoyed different senses.
– What is the reason we were born into this material world and the relationship of cause and effect?
– This body only functions because there is a soul within it.
– Why am I in this material world? Who am I? Am I the mind?
– What is the nature of the soul? Is it possible to be happy?
– The soul wants to be in the dwelling place with the Lord.
– The story of the boy who picked something up from the river and put it in his bed and gave it to him to eat and drink, but it didn’t work.
– The soul resides in this body, but it is not happy in the conditioned state.
– How do we feed the soul? What is the soul’s food? Krishna-katha!
– We don’t understand what the soul’s food is. Gurudeva told the personal story of a baby who cried a lot, and the mother couldn’t figure out what the child wanted.
– Gurudeva chanted a portion of the verses from the Gopi Gita.
– Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu instructs us to chant the Holy Names and listen to Harikatha.
– The taste comes when we accumulate much sukrti.
– We forget our relationship with the Lord, but what is transcendental is accepted by the soul.
– Gurudeva tells the story of the cage and the little bird that was inside the cage.
– Our body is made of 5 elements: earth, water, fire, air, and ether.
– What is the soul’s food? Chant the Lord’s Names and be happy!
– If you wish to begin the process of chanting the Holy Names and receive a japamala (beaded string) to chant twice in the morning and at night, self-realization will come to you.
– No matter your activities, start chanting the Names of the Lord.
