The Discovery of Man - 3. Swami Krishnananda.

Swami Chinmayananda is in India. Even at heated moments, do not forget the name of the Lord.  Don’t take your hands off His feet. Serve all well, without any anxiety, with courage and faith.  Thus, service becomes worship. Nothing goes wrong with such people, or even around them. Remember this- Once that hold is gone, the sense of holiness is gone, moha, delusory misconceptions come in. You identify with the body, mind and intellect and your ego is crystallised.  You forget.

Then, nobody can save you. =================================================================================== Saturday 14, September 2024. 05:30. Article Philosophy: The Discovery of Man:3.

Swami Krishnananda (Taken from the January 1974 issue of the Divine Life magazine) Post-1. ============================================================================ The sense of possession and self-preservation may be said to form the central urge of human nature. This pivotal and irresistible tendency takes several shapes in the various enterprises and activities of mankind, such as the different embarkments in the fields of the social and political complex, as well as in the personal engagements of every individual. The basic demands of the human constitution cannot really be said to have any rational foundation; in fact, all rationality seems to be intended only to justify and substantiate these fundamental calls of the human constitution, which defy the searching eyes of reason and logic. The pressure that is felt from within as th
