This talk (27 February 2023) of a 6 Day series was part of Jamshedpur Jnana Yajna 2023 held at Centre For Inner Resources Development, Jamshedpur, India.
In this Satsang, Swamiji discusses the need to strengthen and intensify spiritual practices (Sadhana) for growth. Inspiration, either innate or imbibed from conversations, talks, and reading, plays a vital role in spiritual progress. Exposure to wise individuals (Mahatmas) and their teachings greatly contributes to a seeker’s growth.
The Ultimate in human life is Jnana (Knowledge). While we often say I am understanding the essence of this I am is important. The body is inert. It is animated and activated by the inner Presence. A seeker must spend time and effort to explore this body-different, unchanging substratum.
The Sadhaka must nourish his own mind with noble thoughts and elevating emotions like love, sympathy and sacrifice. Intelligence should be nourished and strengthened by introspection (Tattva Vichara). Exposure to scriptures (Shastras) and Mahatmas' teachings (Satsanga) is vital. They both expose the ancient but ever-relevant wisdom of the Soul. A seeker must be exposed to Prasthana Trayam – Upanishads, Bhagavad Gita, and Brahma Sutras.
Bhagavad Gita is a re-statement of Upanishadic truths for practical application in one’s own life. Krishna's guidance transformed Arjuna's perspective and helped him to fight the war. Bhagavad Gita can be applied in any given situation, for personal and collective growth.
