Love - Perth 21 March 2017

How I identify myself determines what I see my as my purpose in life and, therefore, how I measure success. If I identify myself as the temporary body that I am now residing in, success is determined by how much enjoyment my body can experience and how much recognition I can gain. However, with an understanding of the yogic view of my eternal existence, my goals undergo a dramatic change. Learn more in this enlightening yoga wisdom talk by Jagad Guru Siddhaswarupananda.

Discover Your Life's Purpose (Part 2) - Jagad Guru Siddhaswarupananda Paramahamsa

The ancient Bhagavad Gita speaks of the impersonal Brahman, the dazzling ocean of light, which is described as being a constitutional position of happiness. Many yogis and transcendentalists have also heard of this ocean of light and strive towards achieving nirvana or liberation. But is this ocean of light the final word in the search for the Absolute Truth. Or is there someone or something who is beyond the ocean of light?

This is the fourth and final talk in a series titled “The Mind, Mindfulness, & Me”.
Here we examine the spiritual paradigm which should be foundational to how we live in and interact with the world.  

You are an eternal spiritual being, the seer, the inhabitant of the body.  Your presence makes it so that your body exhibits symptoms of life.  When you leave the body, the true nature of the body manifests as dead matter. But you also have another covering, a subtle body, comprised of the mind, the intelligence, and the false ego or false concept of the ‘self’.

We all possess a wonderful higher faculty, the intelligence or Buddhi.  This faculty empowers us to be able to step back from the mind, even at times when the mind is overwhelmed by heightened emotions, and effectively control the mind.  Mindfulness means to use this faculty to control the mind rather than having the mind control me. When this happens (being controlled by the mind) the soul is considered lost. The Bhagavat Purana says:

“This uncontrolled mind is the greatest enemy of the living entity. If one neglects it or gives it a chance, it will grow more and more powerful and will become victorious. Although it is not factual, it is very strong. It covers the constitutional position of the self/atma.”  BP 5.11.17

A wonderful verse from the Katha Upanisad paints the big picture:

"The individual is the passenger in the chariot of the material body, and intelligence is the driver. Mind is the driving instrument, and the senses are the horses. The self is thus the enjoyer or sufferer in the association of the mind and senses. So it is understood by great thinkers."   Katha Upanisad 1.3.3-4
