Oneself is the enjoyer or sufferer in the association of the mind and senses.
Oneself is the enjoyer or sufferer in the association of the mind and senses.
The individual is the passenger in the car of the body, and intelligence is the driver. Mind is the driving instrument, and the senses are horses.
Our very existence is in the atmosphere of nonexistence.
Praphupada‘s purports if anything makes one contradict the actual teachings of the Bhagavad Gita, also the translators lifestyle contradict the teachings of goodness. Furthermore how does one in 15th century England or any other residing country in that time have the ability or linguistic capacity to have the knowledge of the Gita? That person would not have the opportunity, therefore it makes me further skeptical of the teachings as a whole.
Book #3 of the year: “For the Love of the Dark One”
I found this in the back corner of a bookstore in Leavenworth and couldn‘t resist. It‘s a book of poems/songs by an Indian princess, Mirabai, in the 1400s-1500s. Mirabai rejected her husband‘s family, status, and wealth to pursue her love and worship of Krishna. This collection is erotic, devout, and an interesting look at one woman‘s rebellion.

#ForeverNovember Day 20: Yes, there is #foliage and glorious beaches here in the desert. Back in March at Ras Al Khaimah when the world was still different.
I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new. Don‘t judge me - I have a lot of books. Join the fun if you want.
This is day 143 #bookstoread #tbrpile #bookstagram
