Deepest Knowledge in the Universe

Recently somebody dropped out of our course complaining that it did not have enough depth. They must have been sitting on the shore without diving in because the science that we are presenting is unlimitedly deep. Even one word of this science has the power to carry the sincere student across the inconceivably large span of our universe and across its even larger seven-fold coverings to the transcendental abode of the Supreme Person, who possesses perfect knowledge of everything past, present, and future. So anyone who does not think that this knowledge is deep should just try applying it. If they do so, they will experience first hand that it is the deepest knowledge in the universe.

Question: Final Conclusion of the Vedic Science

First of all I am very, very thankful to your for all your replies. My question is regarding the two classes of philosophers. One class believes that the highest truth is a kind of impersonal, formless oneness or light that is devoid of all qualities (nirguna) while the other class understands the highest truth as a person with transcendental form possessing unlimited (saguna) qualities. After listening to the personalists I tend to agree with them, but then the arguments of the impersonalists often create confusion in my mind. What is the proper understanding according the final conclusion of the Vedic science (Vedanta)?

Your servant,

Answer: Nothing Merges Into Oneness

The impersonalists, who worship God as the impersonal oneness, which is known also as the brahmajyoti or the divine light, are incomplete in their understanding. The light they are attracted to is nothing but the effulgent rays emanating from the transcendental body of Sri Krishna. Worshipping that light without realizing who is the person from whom that light is emanating will be always be frustrating and incomplete. This is so because love is the basis of satisfaction for the living being and we cannot have a loving relationship with light. We can only have a loving relationship with a person. Therefore the devotees of the Lord, those who realize the person who is the source of the light, find superior permanent happiness by reviving their original loving relationship with the Supreme Person. And the impersonalists remain ever frustrated in their attempts to permanently merge themselves in the brahmajyoti. They must be frustrated in this regard because Krishna confirms in the Bhagavad-gita that He exists eternally and that all of the living beings exist eternally. In other words, there is no point in time or beyond time in which everything is merged into the brahmajyoti, the impersonal oneness.

The Little Sparrow Who Conquered the Ocean

Image
In his purport to Bhagavad-gita, Chapter 6, Text 24 Srila Prabhupada wonderfully teaches us the power of determinations by telling us the story of the little sparrow who conquered the ocean: "As for determination, one should follow the example of the sparrow who lost her eggs in the waves of the ocean. A sparrow laid her eggs on the shore of the ocean, but the big ocean carried away the eggs on its waves. The sparrow became very upset and asked the ocean to return her eggs. The ocean did not even consider her appeal. So the sparrow decided to dry up the ocean. She began to pick out the water in her small beak, and everyone laughed at her for her impossible determination. The news of her activity spread, and at last Garuda, the gigantic bird carrier of Lord Visnu, heard it. He became compassionate toward his small sister bird, and so he came to see the sparrow. Garuda was very pleased by the determination of the small sparrow, and he promised to help. Thus Garuda at once asked t

Heart Melting Reunion with Amarendra and Gayatri

Image
On Friday 26 June 2015 I was blessed with the greatest good fortune of meeting with two of the dearest devotees of my entire life, His Grace Amarendra Prabhu and his good wife, Srimati Gayatri devi dasi. I am eternally indebted to these great souls for how much they helped me in my spiritual life when I was a young devotee. When I was young brahmacari monk in 1973 I joined with the two of them in Gainesville, Florida. We were a three person preaching center, and they were just like a mother and father to me. I had so many wonderful Krishna conscious experiences in their association that I can hardly begin to describe them here. But at least may it suffice for me to say for now that Gayatri taught me what it means to be a soft-hearted devotee of the Lord and she gave me my first cooking lesson, teaching me how to make cauliflower pakoras, and Amarendra taught me the art of how to preach strongly, intelligently, and coolly to defeat opposing arguments. Recently Gayatri almost died. But

Krishna is not a myth, nor is He an ordinary historical personality. He is the Supreme All-Attractive Personality of Godhead. He is the oldest of all while simultaneously maintaining the form of a 16 year old youth. He is all-attractive because he exceeds everyone in all of existence by possessing unlimitedly all the qualities that are attractive namely power, beautify, renunciation, knowledge, wealth, and fame. There is no one who equals or excels Him in the possession of these attractive qualities. This is why is accepted by all enlightened spiritualists as being God, the original source of all existence. The perfection of our existence is to re-establish our long forgotten loving relationships with Him.
