In a chemical reaction, you put together certain chemical substances, make them react in a prescribed way, and lo and behold! You will get the products in accordance with the relative chemical equation with 100% certainty. God is not the value of "x" in an algebraic equation so that once you solve the equation correctly, you will know "x"! It is not as if one puts in, say chanting of some god's name, for a certain number of hours daily, combined with daily visit to a neighbourhood shrine, as also an elaborate daily ritualistic worship of the house deity for a certain number of years and then god has to appear before him! God will COME to you at His own sovereign will. Does it mean one can't or need not, do anything to meet God? What one DOES cannot be a direct cause for taking him to god. What is fundamental is the desire to meet god. It also means that one has to turn away from the world (detachment - vairaagya bhaav), if s/he desires to meet god. The reason is one can't keep holding onto the river bank and hope to swim across to the far bank! Jesus Christ also said, "No one can serve two masters. You cannot serve both god and money." (Matthew 6:24). Thus, it seems clear that what one does is less important than what one stops doing since most of what one is doing is related to the worldly life. However, what one does in the spiritual realm, for example meditation, keeping company of like minded seekers, reading of holy literature, worship of a deity, chanting god's name etc, can help in getting one's mind to develop, and keep burning, an intense desire to meet god. It will also help keep one's mind away from the worldly matters and focus on the spiritual. Then one has to simply wait for god to come to him in His good time. Vairaagya (disinterest in worldly life) is a crucial prerequisite for moksha (liberation / salvation). However, this disinterest should be a mental phenomenon. What one is doing outwardly is immaterial. One may appear to be leading a normal life. But inwardly, he is detached from whatever may be happening around. Spiritual pursuit is a journey consisting of many steps. So, a gradual progression towards stronger and stronger vairaagya can be expected and not quite an overnight change. So, even that gradual change along the way is also a spiritual pursuit. However, moksha or liberation cannot come about until a thorough and durable vairaagya bhaav (detached attitude) is established firmly in one's mind. Moksha/Mukti (Salvation / liberation) is a liberation that can be experienced in this life when we are still in this body on this planet. It is basically liberation from the duality of pleasures and pains as normally experienced by us. Liberation is getting freed from - - Wants and desires pertaining to the body and ego - Fixed ideas of well-being of myself as also that of the near and dear ones - The fixation that I have to get this and that from the world - Wanting to become someone, reach somewhere, do something - The idea that one must live as long as possible even by unnaturally trying to extend one's life - The urge to compare myself with others For attaining this kind of salvation, one has to first get a strong a durable desire to attain it. One has to get disillusioned with the ups and downs and the constant agitation of mind that this life essentially is. Then by following a path of spiritual practice as prescribed by the scriptures and spiritual masters of the past, preferably under the grace of a living master, one will be able to transcend his identification with this limited body and ego. That is when the duality of pleasures and pains will disappear since it is associated with this limited identification. That ultimate spiritual experience of liberation can be experienced in this life, very much in this body and with this very mind Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability. …

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Shrimad Bhagawad Geeta (also referred to simply as Geeta) is the most revered of Indian scriptures that comprehensively presents the highest spiritual philosophy in the Indian tradition. It is believed to be told by Lord Shri Krishna to Arjuna on the Mahabharat battle field of Kurukshetra. Just before the epic war between Pandavas and Kauravas was to begin, Arjuna was suddenly overcome by confusion about whether it was right for him to fight his own cousins and other relatives as also his revered teachers (gurus) and other elders who were standing opposite him as his enemies. As a result, he dropped his weapons and sat down in his chariot in a completely distraught mood. It was then that Shri Krishna who had taken upon himself the job of being Arjuna's charioteer, preached the complete spiritual philosophy by way of Shrimad Bhagawad Geeta. It helped Arjuna understand clearly what this creation is and what the purpose of human life in it is. He could then proceed with fighting the Mahabharat war as a duty in a detached manner. Shrimad Bhagawad Geeta consists of 18 chapters and is originally in Sanskrit. There have been many explanatory commentaries on it by different philosophers and thinkers. The greatest of some of the most revered saints who lived during the 13th century in Maharashtra, Sant Shri Dnyaneshwar Maharaj, wrote an incomparable commentary on the Geeta titled Bhavarth Deepika, more popularly known as Shri Dnyaneshwari, in Marathi verse form. It is believed that Lord Shri Krishna Himself reincarnated as Sant Dnyaneshwar primarily to take the Geeta philosophy down to the less educated seekers who were unable to understand the original Geeta in Sanskrit language. Shri Dnyaneshwari is the result of that. Sant Shri Dnyaneshwar maharaj took samadhi at a tender age of 21 years soon after completing Dnyaneshwari, which confirms the belief that the primary purpose of his incarnation was delivering Geeta philosophy to the masses of ordinary people. The original Dnyaneshwari is organised exactly on the lines of Geeta in 18 chapters. Each of the shlokas (verses) of Geeta has many owis (Marathi verses) explaining the meaning of the particular shloka. Sant Shri Dnyaneshwar excels in putting across the underlying philosophy by way of many different metaphors and examples from the day-to-day life making it easy for a sincere reader to understand and digest it. The Dnyaneshwari owis are in old Marathi of the 13th century. This series of books is an attempt by the author to take the Dnyaneshwari to non-Marathi seekers. It is versification of the original "owis" in English. It is presented in the following format - the original Sanskrit shloka of Geeta followed by its literal meaning in English and then the English verses corresponding to the related owis. At some places, more than one shloka is presented together if the meaning can be better understood that way. The reader is expected to have a reasonable degree of familiarity with Indian spiritual philosophy and the commonly used Sanskrit terms in respect of the various fundamental spiritual concepts. Chapter 1 and the first ten shlokas of chapter 2 of Geeta describe the formation of armies on both the sides with the names and qualities of the various warriors gathered on the battle field. There is also a description of the distraught state of Arjuna's mind in this initial part. The actual philosophical preaching by Lord Shri Krishna starts from Chapter 2, shloka 11 and hence this book also starts from that point onwards. This book is the first in a series covering chapter 2. Chapter 2 of the Geeta is regarded as the most important one since it presents most of the core spiritual philosophical concepts.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. In this book, I have presented my understanding of Indian metaphysics (or spirituality) from an ordinary seeker's perspective. It is not a scholarly treatise. It does not quote copiously from varied spiritual literature. It does not present complex "logical arguments" to "prove" any point. It simply presents the "musings" of a spiritual seeker based on the classical Indian spiritual thinking as epitomised in Shrimad Bhagawad Geeta. I trust it is simple enough for anybody and everybody to understand. However, my idea is not to convince any reader by means of this book to take up spirituality. It is simply a sharing that may have a role to play in some people's lives, if the divine scheme has it that way. The book is organised into two volumes. Language has very serious limitations and when it comes to spiritual terms, two persons may understand them quite differently. That is the reason I have presented up front in Volume 1, my understanding of the various important spiritual terms and concepts, so that the reader can appreciate my philosophy better. Volume 2 presents my ideas about the real spiritual goal and the practice for achieving that goal - what exactly a spiritual seeker should be doing - both in the inner mental realm as also in the external world of action. As far as possible, I have presented my musings in a practical context that most readers should be able to identify with. I have also included some stories, many imaginary, if only to drive home the underlying spiritual idea more appealingly. I have put in a verse or a poem in many places, particularly at the end of many chapters. These are all written by me except a few that I have translated from original Marathi poems, the original source of which I have specifically acknowledged. These poems and verses summarise in nutshell and reiterate the core concept of the relative chapter. I have used short dialogues at some places to convey certain spiritual concepts. I trust all this helps reduce the drudgery of an otherwise theoretical subject like spirituality, if presented as an essay, and thereby keeps the reader more engaged. I believe this book, being a simple and non-scholarly write-up, should be easy for readers who are beginners on the path of spirituality. It should also be useful for the more advanced seekers as a constant prod for their own contemplation. After all, it is my strong belief that spirituality is all about transformation of mind through constant contemplation on the matters beyond the physical creation. May this book be the divine nudge to the readers, pushing them gently on to the spiritual path! This item is printed on demand.
