Title: Srila Sridhar Maharaj - Who am I & Where is Home? Pt.1 of 3 View count: 2408 Rating: 5.0 (11 ratings) Description: Who am I?...Who am I? Only flesh and blood? Or only the mental system which I have got experience of at the time of my dreams? Or, as it is told in the Upanishad and the Veda and the Bhagavad-Gita, indriyani parany ahur, indriyebhyah param manah, mananas to para buddhir, buddher atma mahan para (Gita 3.42 & Katha Upanishad) then the Paramatma and the other subjective world. How to find the adjustment? What am I? I am a member of this material soil or something more? Transcending this material consideration I have got my existence in the unassailable higher quarter of knowledge and love, the strata of knowledge and then that of love. Transcending knowledge there is another higher plane of ecstasy, joy and love - prema. Exploitation, renunciation and dedication, and dedication of the highest order is surrendered dedication. Where do you want to live? These (three planes of life) are extended to us for our preference. You select where you want to live, in what plane. And this is not poetry or not even philosophy, but the inner demand, the sincere willingness, the determined will, not a fashion or philosophy or luxury. This is a serious point, we are to decide for ourselves, where do we want to live? In what plane of life? The plane of a goonda? (thug) The plane of the patriot? There are so many planes, the plane of the scientists (the wire pullers of these exploitationists)? In what plane? I must seek and I must find out my liking, sincerely, where do I select to be my home....continued in Pt.2, here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KOb6pEPyk4 Tags: hare, krishna, sridhar, maharaj, govinda, yoga, nabadwip, bhakti, gauranga, saraswat, chaitanya, india, Author: bhuridajanah |
