JaiGurudev Bhaiya,
So beautiful presentation.
Though I haven’t understood many of the things in it, I figured one typo in it.
In 8th slide meaning of Nirukth is written as entomology.
I happened to study entomology which is study of insects.
Something else should be suiting that place better.

Quote:

“The problem comes when we use the knowledge of advaita in dvaita.That’s why I find the knowledge points in the art of living courses so practical and usable.”

I guess you are right… I have been struggling to understand.. advaita in Dvaita..

Yah, Guruji Surely made some sense out of both. – Like opposite values are complementary – it means there are two values[dvaita]. but they are indeed one.. [advaita]

Sri Sri: Strange are the ways of Karma. The more you understand it, the more amazed you become. It brings people together and separates them. It causes some to be weak and some to be strong. It makes some rich and some poor. All the struggle in the world, whatever it may be, is the bondage of Karma. It cuts across all logic and reasoning. This understanding will lift you from getting stuck to the events or personalities and help you in your Journey to the Self.
Question: So a thief can say it is my karma to steal?
Answer: Then the police have the karma to catch him too! (Laughter)
Only human life has the ability to be free from Karma. And only a few thousands aim to be free from it. Only through Grace can the bondage of Karma be burnt. Performing actions cannot eliminate Karma.

I got this mail today.. Thought i would post here

Comment on How not to hate! by Venu

Yes, the Air, Water, Ether, Space and Fire are all nothing. But we (the part of eternal pure conciouseness) is something. Something which is from that Sac, Chit Ananda..Or else how we were able to experiance this “nothingness”??

Guruji says very beautifully, “see the past as destiny and the future as free will, then the present is a present (gift)”

This discussion is endless. Like the gita says gahana karmano gati. The ways of karma are mysterious indeed. So is the solution not to think of karma.

The problem comes when we use the knowledge of advaita in dvaita. That’s why I find the knowledge points in the art of living courses so practical and usable. And when we utilise it, its all the highest knowledge valid at all levels, in day to day life as well as the spiritual aspects.

Jai Gurudev!

I think we need to go back to the root or source to understand the theory of Karma. So if we take this universe as a platform for play of consciousness in different forms, then in the beginning everything was Free Will.
God might have created this universe with certain laws/rules for living. Anyone is free to follow any path but each path has it’s own consequences or fruits.
So God has given us intellect/memory/ego/mind for perception and understanding of this universe so that we follow certain path.
In this process, each individual started using/enjoying different paths and as a result building up his/her own karma and chain of karma. Unless each one of us nullify our karmas we can not go back to our source, that is the ground rule.
So I think we are caught in our karma’s that we build up since the beginning of the time. Hence at any moment we have free will to act but results may depend on our destiny or sanchit karma.

Please put some light on this process of birth and death.

with regards,
Kamlakar
