The metaphor of the "cab and airport" is very illuminating for me, thank you Swami for sharing it. It can even be stretched to include extraordinary people - like those who live very close to the airport - perhaps they can just walk over without getting a cab. This might be thought of as people like Adi Shankaracharya, mastering jñana yoga at a very early age. Then on the other end, there are people who are very far from the airport and have to find a way to even get to the city (I tend to think of myself in this way - "far from the goal"). And there's the (rare) possibility of being picked up in a helicopter and whisked away, maybe the pilot is Krishna or Ramakrishna. You could even get kidnapped in the middle of the night and you wake up in the destination. Anyway it seems most of us need to take a humble, multi-stage approach, but also there seem to be many paths to the destination.
Swamiji- I am teaching Gita to young kids at our temple and I listen to your commentary all the time to help me better understand so I can explain each verses in greater details. Thank you for posting these discussions on YT. Would love to listen to you in person one day soon . Jai Shree Krishna
great gratitude for these discussions. GrAZIE! powerful presentation. I have read the Gita many times but your commentary is of great help in gaining perspective.
28:02 Arjuna's question is deep meaning, intelligent: I actually think I have a similar question too must watch! "Suppose" should I leave work? Is option there?
16:47 it is not the ONLY path; yet it is correct ... MUST WATCH THIS TO UNDERSTAND "PATHS". The Gaudiya Vaishnavas say that start with Bhakti and God will give you purity and knowledge (all is God!) ...
56:01 The Jesuit priest philosopher gives talk about Advaita! Father Copplestone: 12 volume Jewish philosophy ... "late in life I came across the teachings of India"
Sawami ji I have a big big problem that I really like someone but whenever I think about her or says I like her. A voice hit me from inside which ask How likes you are consciousness. And I couldn't find what should I do 😂😭😭😭
