Speaker: 00:00:00

somewhere that's more enjoyable for you

00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:03,800

but if you like if you

00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:05,533

if you feel like an inkling

00:00:05,833 --> 00:00:07,800

that you enjoy what we're saying

00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:10,533

and what we're bringing um

00:00:10,666 --> 00:00:12,866

even if you don't fully understand it it's okay

00:00:12,866 --> 00:00:14,000

you know just uh

00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:20,966

we're not doing this to monetize

00:00:22,266 --> 00:00:22,800

you know

00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:26,366

we're kind of retired from that grind and hustle

00:00:26,366 --> 00:00:30,600

and also these videos are partly our

00:00:31,033 --> 00:00:35,133

our creative output that gives us a sense of purpose

00:00:35,166 --> 00:00:38,266

mission and it's really nice to have that

00:00:39,666 --> 00:00:41,866

not in an aggressive way or you know

00:00:41,866 --> 00:00:43,733

climbing a mountain get to the top

00:00:44,166 --> 00:00:48,700

no no no

00:01:04,566 --> 00:01:06,733

00:01:06,833 --> 00:01:07,433

oh hey

00:01:07,433 --> 00:01:09,166

it's Maria there's Maria

00:01:09,166 --> 00:01:11,366

00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:13,966

you wanna keep going

00:01:14,866 --> 00:01:16,766

okay

00:01:26,300 --> 00:01:29,300

this was a start by accident but we take it alright

00:01:29,300 --> 00:01:32,566

this is this is I'm Mark I'm Maria and

00:01:32,566 --> 00:01:33,800

and we're Juicy Magic on

00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:35,866

and this is Juicy Magic on the daily

00:01:36,300 --> 00:01:39,366

so day 2 welcome

00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:40,700

welcome

00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,400

as they say in some African language Jambo

00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:48,100

I like that Jambo Jambo Jambo yeah okay

00:01:48,100 --> 00:01:52,866

Namaste we say Haribo chant the names of god

00:01:53,100 --> 00:01:55,200

I thought Namaste means thank you

00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,100

well Namaste is also like the light or the

00:01:58,100 --> 00:02:01,233

the divine within me greets the divine within you

00:02:01,233 --> 00:02:02,400

you're kind of bowing

00:02:03,466 --> 00:02:04,266

00:02:04,700 --> 00:02:06,633

you know so it's a hello actually

00:02:06,633 --> 00:02:08,166

you know you're bowing to the divinity

00:02:08,166 --> 00:02:09,033

to God I mean

00:02:09,033 --> 00:02:12,600

God follows us all in our hearts as the Parama

00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,366

the Lord in the heart he follows every living entity

00:02:15,366 --> 00:02:17,866

it's amazing the inconceivable powers of God

00:02:17,866 --> 00:02:19,200

he's distinct in his abode

00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,700

and yet he's with every living entity at the same time

00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:23,000

and well well

00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:24,633

this is the foundation of our practice

00:02:24,633 --> 00:02:28,500

is Lord Chaitanya's Achintabeda abedatva

00:02:28,500 --> 00:02:33,666

which means simultaneous oneness and distinction it's

00:02:34,900 --> 00:02:36,366

you use this word a lot

00:02:36,366 --> 00:02:39,333

so let's make that this question of today okay

00:02:40,033 --> 00:02:44,666

please elaborate of the achintabeda tadwa term

00:02:44,866 --> 00:02:49,333

achintabeda abeda tadwa achintabeda abeda tadwa

00:02:49,866 --> 00:02:50,900

00:02:53,233 --> 00:02:56,500

Lord Chaitanya appeared with his devotees in the bay

00:02:56,500 --> 00:03:00,533

in Bengal in the late uh

00:03:00,833 --> 00:03:03,333

16th century in the late 1500s

00:03:04,466 --> 00:03:06,400

so there was only it's very

00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,766

it's very recent only 500 odd years ago

00:03:08,766 --> 00:03:11,066

and the beautiful thing I mean

00:03:12,233 --> 00:03:14,233

we don't wish to discredit or talk

00:03:14,233 --> 00:03:15,900

we don't need to talk about any other scriptures

00:03:15,900 --> 00:03:16,700

or fates

00:03:17,366 --> 00:03:19,866

you know I've had the opportunity to read on

00:03:19,866 --> 00:03:21,966

pretty much every scripture I can think of

00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:23,433

that's out there but

00:03:23,433 --> 00:03:23,900

the reason

00:03:23,900 --> 00:03:26,366

we really love the teachings of Lord Chaitanya

00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:28,033

is because they're so recent

00:03:28,033 --> 00:03:31,500

and he's very little known around the world

00:03:31,500 --> 00:03:32,500

like for instance

00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,166

one of our teachers who we love very much

00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,933

e Schwab bin Yusuf Emanuel

00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,766

the Messiah of Bethlehem he

00:03:40,766 --> 00:03:41,700

he uh

00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,300

there's a lot it's a long time ago and it's

00:03:45,300 --> 00:03:48,533

there was a lot of years between when

00:03:48,866 --> 00:03:50,233

what he did was written down

00:03:50,233 --> 00:03:50,866

or what he and

00:03:50,866 --> 00:03:54,433

and then of course the council of Nicea and 3:25

00:03:54,433 --> 00:03:56,000

they're just it's endless

00:03:56,066 --> 00:03:58,133

we don't really know for sure

00:03:59,066 --> 00:04:02,000

the continuity of those teachings has been broken

00:04:02,433 --> 00:04:05,433

we don't have a living representative in that lineage

00:04:05,433 --> 00:04:06,466

that we know of

00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:10,566

and so having having um

00:04:11,233 --> 00:04:12,600

living representatives

00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,933

who still belong to the sampraday

00:04:16,033 --> 00:04:18,733

that's the disciples succession

00:04:19,666 --> 00:04:22,300

in other words we're here to share something

00:04:22,300 --> 00:04:24,566

which to some degree means we're teaching

00:04:24,833 --> 00:04:26,000

and if you're teaching

100

00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:27,833

you should have a teacher who had a teacher

101

00:04:27,833 --> 00:04:30,466

who had a teacher who had a teacher um

102

00:04:31,266 --> 00:04:33,366

you know if we're saying

103

00:04:33,366 --> 00:04:34,166

you know

104

00:04:35,033 --> 00:04:36,633

you need a teacher so to speak

105

00:04:36,633 --> 00:04:38,733

then we we should also have teachers

106

00:04:38,833 --> 00:04:41,033

and we do have spiritual masters and

107

00:04:41,033 --> 00:04:41,633

and a lineage

108

00:04:41,633 --> 00:04:46,333

so they are related to Lord Chetanya in Goranga

109

00:04:46,566 --> 00:04:47,933

Meemai Lord

110

00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:49,866

he was born under a neem tree

111

00:04:49,866 --> 00:04:53,700

which we recently visited in a very amazing place

112

00:04:53,700 --> 00:04:59,166

we visited two neem

113

00:05:01,100 --> 00:05:01,900

trees

114

00:05:02,633 --> 00:05:03,433

115

00:05:09,866 --> 00:05:11,033

you have to take everything

116

00:05:11,033 --> 00:05:12,600

there is a sense of humour and everything

117

00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:13,866

and not the subject matters

118

00:05:13,866 --> 00:05:15,900

very serious um

119

00:05:16,166 --> 00:05:16,600

you know

120

00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,300

we're in a living in a material world which has birth

121

00:05:19,300 --> 00:05:22,666

old age disease and death baked into the code

122

00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:24,966

and add freaking taxes Jeez

123

00:05:24,966 --> 00:05:26,066

you got you know

124

00:05:26,066 --> 00:05:27,566

there's a lot of suffering

125

00:05:27,833 --> 00:05:29,300

there's a lot of suffering everywhere

126

00:05:29,300 --> 00:05:32,800

you go I noticed people are suffering from in the

127

00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:34,133

in the scriptures they

128

00:05:34,166 --> 00:05:36,566

they say that you suffer from bodily distress

129

00:05:36,566 --> 00:05:38,000

distresses are the mind

130

00:05:38,066 --> 00:05:41,100

other living entities and then natural disasters

131

00:05:41,100 --> 00:05:43,500

which are often referred to as as

132

00:05:43,500 --> 00:05:44,733

as the demigods

133

00:05:44,833 --> 00:05:47,633

are those forces that are much bigger than us

134

00:05:47,633 --> 00:05:49,266

more powerful and they

135

00:05:49,366 --> 00:05:51,066

they can toss and turn us in a heartbeat

136

00:05:51,066 --> 00:05:53,833

whether through an earthquake or a or a volcano

137

00:05:53,833 --> 00:05:54,700

lava flow

138

00:05:55,366 --> 00:05:57,333

and I've seen lava flow and boy

139

00:05:57,633 --> 00:05:58,900

so Maria's question

140

00:05:58,900 --> 00:06:03,100

achi achi achi beta beta tapa this is the

141

00:06:03,100 --> 00:06:08,133

the fundamental at the time when Lord Sutanui appeared

142

00:06:09,066 --> 00:06:11,266

people in in in the Barat

143

00:06:11,266 --> 00:06:13,900

in the land of Barat in India was not India

144

00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,166

and the parts of Bangladesh and parts of

145

00:06:16,166 --> 00:06:17,333

of Nepal

146

00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:19,633

they were all one one kingdom

147

00:06:19,633 --> 00:06:21,866

and people debated

148

00:06:21,866 --> 00:06:24,500

and philosophical and religious rhetoric

149

00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,233

that was like like the Olympics

150

00:06:27,233 --> 00:06:29,200

it was really valued

151

00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:35,300

it was pursued it was appreciated and through history

152

00:06:35,300 --> 00:06:36,766

there's always been a bit of a

153

00:06:36,766 --> 00:06:40,600

a dichotomy between people that are the monists

154

00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,666

and then there's the uh

155

00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,433

people that believe so the monster like we're all one

156

00:06:47,433 --> 00:06:50,000

there's oneness we're all one together

157

00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,233

there's this oneness we're one with God

158

00:06:52,233 --> 00:06:55,766

we're one with everything but the

159

00:06:55,766 --> 00:06:58,966

the aspect of that philosophy that's not quite full

160

00:06:58,966 --> 00:07:00,566

is that then how do we

161

00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:02,900

how do we equate for karma

162

00:07:02,900 --> 00:07:04,466

ha ha for individual karma

163

00:07:04,466 --> 00:07:07,233

like if I'm one with if I'm just one with everything

164

00:07:07,233 --> 00:07:10,666

then how come I'm getting different results than Maria

165

00:07:11,033 --> 00:07:12,700

in the modern terms we like

166

00:07:12,700 --> 00:07:14,666

we do like the economist Thomas Sowell

167

00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:16,000

we talk about the difference

168

00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:17,700

between Equality of opportunity

169

00:07:17,700 --> 00:07:21,866

and then this crazy wanting of Equality of outcome

170

00:07:22,866 --> 00:07:24,166

which reduces everybody

171

00:07:25,100 --> 00:07:27,233

to the lowest common denominator

172

00:07:27,233 --> 00:07:31,166

and we see this in communism and in failed states um

173

00:07:31,366 --> 00:07:33,900

where everyone becomes impoverished by this

174

00:07:33,900 --> 00:07:35,933

trying to have Equality of outcome

175

00:07:36,266 --> 00:07:37,733

we're all individuals

176

00:07:38,466 --> 00:07:41,100

and so the other side was always arguing no

177

00:07:41,100 --> 00:07:41,400

no no no no

178

00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:42,733

we're always distinct

179

00:07:43,366 --> 00:07:45,366

there is the living entities and there's god

180

00:07:45,366 --> 00:07:46,800

and we're always separate

181

00:07:48,033 --> 00:07:51,000

and Lord Satania came to really give the perfect

182

00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:52,333

perfection of knowledge

183

00:07:52,966 --> 00:07:54,466

which really in metaphysics it

184

00:07:54,466 --> 00:07:57,700

it it describes metaphysics really really well

185

00:07:59,000 --> 00:07:59,833

um you know

186

00:07:59,833 --> 00:08:01,266

you observe something is it a particle

187

00:08:01,266 --> 00:08:02,766

is it a wave is it both

188

00:08:03,633 --> 00:08:04,433

he that's a good example

189

00:08:04,433 --> 00:08:05,300

yeah and he came

190

00:08:05,300 --> 00:08:06,633

he came really it is both

191

00:08:06,633 --> 00:08:08,566

he came to to give the perfect

192

00:08:08,566 --> 00:08:09,366

perfect

193

00:08:10,033 --> 00:08:11,033

uh philosophy

194

00:08:11,033 --> 00:08:14,233

understanding of the nature of reality

195

00:08:14,233 --> 00:08:15,366

the living entity in god

196

00:08:15,366 --> 00:08:17,833

and that was Achintabeda Abedatapha

197

00:08:17,833 --> 00:08:20,500

we are simultaneously one with god

198

00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:22,366

qualitatively

199

00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,666

we have all the qualities of god in small amounts

200

00:08:25,866 --> 00:08:29,066

but quantitatively we are distinct

201

00:08:29,266 --> 00:08:32,066

god is definitely much greater

202

00:08:32,266 --> 00:08:33,900

also much smaller much better

203

00:08:33,900 --> 00:08:37,566

much faster on a quantity level

204

00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,800

and so we are distinct as living entities

205

00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:44,800

and yet we're one with god through our qualities

206

00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:46,400

the qualities that we have from him

207

00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,133

we're like sparks from a fire

208

00:08:48,766 --> 00:08:51,266

we aren't the fire but we come from the fire

209

00:08:51,266 --> 00:08:53,766

and we retain all the wonderfulness of the fire

210

00:08:53,766 --> 00:08:56,333

but in small amounts or we're like a drop of

211

00:08:56,466 --> 00:08:58,333

of salt water in the ocean

212

00:08:58,366 --> 00:08:59,866

we have all the saltiness of the ocean

213

00:08:59,866 --> 00:09:01,333

but in very small quantity

214

00:09:01,333 --> 00:09:03,033

we're not the ocean and we're not the ocean

215

00:09:03,033 --> 00:09:04,633

the ocean's made up of all these particles

216

00:09:04,633 --> 00:09:05,666

but there's and

217

00:09:05,666 --> 00:09:06,766

and that doesn't I mean

218

00:09:06,766 --> 00:09:09,366

obviously the those analogies are impersonal

219

00:09:09,433 --> 00:09:12,200

but we're talking about the supreme person as a person

220

00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:13,866

we're persons eternally

221

00:09:14,266 --> 00:09:16,366

there'll never be a time when we don't exist

222

00:09:16,466 --> 00:09:18,166

I really like the example you

223

00:09:18,166 --> 00:09:21,600

that you gave yesterday that when you cut

224

00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:23,966

you lose your leg oh yeah

225

00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:25,500

or you you are blind

226

00:09:25,500 --> 00:09:27,666

you don't have eyesight anymore

227

00:09:27,666 --> 00:09:29,833

you're still the same person yeah

228

00:09:29,833 --> 00:09:31,166

yeah and so

229

00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:31,866

I mean that

230

00:09:31,866 --> 00:09:33,566

we're going to go down the rabbit hole every day

231

00:09:33,566 --> 00:09:37,066

with the foundation of simultaneously Juanita distinct

232

00:09:37,066 --> 00:09:38,600

and then also breaking down like

233

00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,000

who are we what's our true identity

234

00:09:41,633 --> 00:09:44,866

and once we we can have an experience

235

00:09:44,866 --> 00:09:47,066

or a glimpse into our true identity

236

00:09:47,100 --> 00:09:49,466

it really obliterates all the false

237

00:09:49,566 --> 00:09:53,800

temporary identities that we fight and about and over

238

00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:55,566

man woman old young black

239

00:09:55,566 --> 00:09:57,033

white gay

240

00:09:57,033 --> 00:09:58,366

straight uh

241

00:09:58,566 --> 00:09:59,566

Hindu Muslim

242

00:09:59,566 --> 00:09:59,833

blah blah

243

00:09:59,833 --> 00:10:00,366

blah blah

244

00:10:00,366 --> 00:10:02,100

all these shirt labels

245

00:10:02,966 --> 00:10:05,300

so we'll go down that rabbit hole

246

00:10:05,300 --> 00:10:07,166

it's a fun rabbit hole it's

247

00:10:07,166 --> 00:10:08,800

it's let's stay with the question yeah

248

00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:12,366

so simultaneously one yet distinct from god

249

00:10:12,466 --> 00:10:14,133

that describes perfectly

250

00:10:14,433 --> 00:10:16,433

the living entity and the Supreme being

251

00:10:16,433 --> 00:10:19,600

that there is oneness and there's also oneness

252

00:10:19,633 --> 00:10:21,600

for instance between husband and wife

253

00:10:22,166 --> 00:10:25,366

we got married but we didn't like merge into a blob

254

00:10:25,366 --> 00:10:26,300

we didn't like

255

00:10:28,233 --> 00:10:30,033

and you'll often see Jesus doing this

256

00:10:30,033 --> 00:10:32,866

it means there's two in order there to be oneness

257

00:10:32,866 --> 00:10:34,700

there has to be distinction first

258

00:10:34,733 --> 00:10:36,666

there needs to be two in order to have one

259

00:10:36,666 --> 00:10:38,266

we feel one sometimes

260

00:10:38,266 --> 00:10:40,566

but we're still in separate bodies

261

00:10:40,566 --> 00:10:42,433

yeah and there's oneness in spirit

262

00:10:42,433 --> 00:10:45,066

we have an external uh

263

00:10:45,966 --> 00:10:47,166

it's internal as well

264

00:10:47,166 --> 00:10:49,233

but we have an agreement together that we're this

265

00:10:49,233 --> 00:10:50,100

that's what a marriage is

266

00:10:50,100 --> 00:10:50,766

it's a it's a

267

00:10:50,766 --> 00:10:52,766

there's a oneness there in direction

268

00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:56,000

a oneness in spirit and yet there is still distinction

269

00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,666

I also like the example that you gave with the wallet

270

00:10:59,900 --> 00:11:00,633

haha oh

271

00:11:00,633 --> 00:11:02,166

is that where like if okay

272

00:11:02,166 --> 00:11:02,800

yeah I have

273

00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:04,666

I have my wallet with my money

274

00:11:04,666 --> 00:11:06,900

and you have your wallet with your money yeah

275

00:11:06,900 --> 00:11:09,066

and if we would be one I could just say

276

00:11:09,066 --> 00:11:10,966

give me your wallet we are one yeah

277

00:11:10,966 --> 00:11:12,300

yeah since I'm you and you're me

278

00:11:12,300 --> 00:11:13,866

give me your wallet and I'll just

279

00:11:13,866 --> 00:11:15,000

you know that the the

280

00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,166

the hard truth and facts is

281

00:11:17,166 --> 00:11:20,000

when people are espousing this oneness philosophy

282

00:11:20,066 --> 00:11:22,266

that we're all just one um

283

00:11:22,566 --> 00:11:24,633

and then one spouse runs away with all the money

284

00:11:24,633 --> 00:11:25,433

the money yeah

285

00:11:25,433 --> 00:11:26,900

or whatever so

286

00:11:27,066 --> 00:11:27,866

you know you can

287

00:11:27,866 --> 00:11:29,833

I can call out people like that and

288

00:11:29,833 --> 00:11:30,400

and say well

289

00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,900

that's that just get me to stop talking

290

00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:34,433

if you're if you're me and I'm you

291

00:11:34,433 --> 00:11:37,066

oh try that that's impossible

292

00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:38,766

right yes

293

00:11:38,766 --> 00:11:39,400

so I tried that

294

00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:42,333

so clearly there is still distinction within oneness

295

00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:43,400

and so we can we can

296

00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:44,233

we have often we're

297

00:11:44,233 --> 00:11:46,533

most of the time we're really in harmony and agreement

298

00:11:46,700 --> 00:11:48,466

that's oneness oneness in spirit

299

00:11:48,466 --> 00:11:50,366

and yet we're still Maria's still Maria

300

00:11:50,366 --> 00:11:52,700

she has her karma she has to reap and sow

301

00:11:52,700 --> 00:11:53,566

sow and reap

302

00:11:53,866 --> 00:11:56,600

and I have to sow and reap and reap and sow uh

303

00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,033

that's my karma and I don't inherit her karma

304

00:11:59,033 --> 00:12:00,300

and she doesn't inherit mine

305

00:12:00,300 --> 00:12:02,666

it's like in the Bible in the Bible they say that

306

00:12:02,666 --> 00:12:03,933

you know the sun's don't

307

00:12:04,633 --> 00:12:05,800

I think it's in the Bible

308

00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:06,500

but I've heard it said that

309

00:12:06,500 --> 00:12:07,800

you know like the son or the daughter

310

00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:09,666

they don't inherit the sins of the parent

311

00:12:09,900 --> 00:12:14,000

we each have our own karma to work out good and bad

312

00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:15,800

to reap and sow and reap

313

00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:17,700

the whole point is to get off that wheel

314

00:12:18,366 --> 00:12:21,966

and that's where the teachings of Lord Chitan

315

00:12:21,966 --> 00:12:23,466

for us are the most sublime

316

00:12:24,033 --> 00:12:25,766

they're the most relishable

317

00:12:25,766 --> 00:12:27,966

the most wonderful the most mystical and magical

318

00:12:27,966 --> 00:12:30,933

and the most applicable on a day to day level

319

00:12:31,300 --> 00:12:33,966

simply our main meditation practice

320

00:12:33,966 --> 00:12:36,400

is simply hearing and repeating God's names

321

00:12:37,066 --> 00:12:38,066

and then there are some

322

00:12:38,066 --> 00:12:40,166

what they call regulatory principles that we really

323

00:12:40,166 --> 00:12:43,600

genuinely try to follow a base in in yoga

324

00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,166

they're called yamas and niyamas DOS and don'ts

325

00:12:46,300 --> 00:12:48,766

in some other cultures they may be considered kosher

326

00:12:48,766 --> 00:12:52,533

non kosher halal haram like do this and don't do that

327

00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:54,366

and we have some very basic ones

328

00:12:54,366 --> 00:12:55,800

and we can go into those too

329

00:12:55,833 --> 00:12:57,166

and we can talk about why

330

00:12:57,166 --> 00:12:58,433

why do we follow

331

00:12:58,433 --> 00:13:01,466

why do we try to follow the regulative principles

332

00:13:02,433 --> 00:13:04,533

and and four of them in particular

333

00:13:04,866 --> 00:13:06,166

and they're not the be all end all

334

00:13:06,166 --> 00:13:07,000

they're just the beginning

335

00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:08,166

they're the foundation

336

00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:09,900

and so

337

00:13:11,366 --> 00:13:12,166

on our journey

338

00:13:12,166 --> 00:13:15,066

we want to share the foundational aspects of what has

339

00:13:15,066 --> 00:13:16,600

bring brought us so much

340

00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:20,466

a lot of peace and a lot of freedom and a lot of joy

341

00:13:20,466 --> 00:13:22,900

yeah I can just let you be yeah

342

00:13:22,900 --> 00:13:24,066

and there's a lot of freedom

343

00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:25,300

we don't mean freedom

344

00:13:25,433 --> 00:13:27,733

there's freedom from and freedom to

345

00:13:28,233 --> 00:13:30,566

and both are important

346

00:13:32,066 --> 00:13:34,866

and you know as Bob Dylan said

347

00:13:34,866 --> 00:13:36,133

you gotta serve somebody

348

00:13:36,666 --> 00:13:38,600

so why not serve the highest

349

00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:39,700

the most high

350

00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,366

and having more information about that person

351

00:13:42,366 --> 00:13:45,066

and their representatives is really amazing

352

00:13:45,066 --> 00:13:48,966

we found that through the teachings of Lord Satiya and

353

00:13:49,100 --> 00:13:52,366

and our lineage that we have

354

00:13:54,066 --> 00:13:55,400

received the most

355

00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,766

information can you say that one prayer

356

00:14:02,033 --> 00:14:04,466

which one ha ha no

357

00:14:04,466 --> 00:14:06,633

the the one that you keep repeating and singing

358

00:14:06,633 --> 00:14:07,100

oh oh

359

00:14:07,100 --> 00:14:09,966

the third the third prayer of Lord Chatan yeah

360

00:14:09,966 --> 00:14:12,266

so back to Lord Chatan I mean

361

00:14:12,266 --> 00:14:13,133

he was the most

362

00:14:13,466 --> 00:14:15,866

I don't think words can describe what an incredible

363

00:14:15,866 --> 00:14:20,966

being he is and miracles and all those things

364

00:14:20,966 --> 00:14:22,800

but the

365

00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:25,566

one of the greatest gifts and miracles for me is that

366

00:14:25,833 --> 00:14:28,300

despite being one of the greatest scholars of all time

367

00:14:28,300 --> 00:14:31,700

and extremely erudite and fantastically

368

00:14:33,166 --> 00:14:35,900

really superior to every other person he encountered

369

00:14:35,900 --> 00:14:38,400

when it came to rhetoric and logic and argument

370

00:14:38,833 --> 00:14:40,366

he defeated he defeated everybody

371

00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:41,666

he only left eight prayers

372

00:14:41,666 --> 00:14:43,033

eight eight prayers

373

00:14:43,033 --> 00:14:45,400

they're known as the Shikshastika and the third prayer

374

00:14:46,766 --> 00:14:49,166

the third prayer which we can repeat and offer

375

00:14:49,266 --> 00:14:51,300

it's really nice to memorize it

376

00:14:51,766 --> 00:14:53,833

I mean I wish I could embody it

377

00:14:53,833 --> 00:14:57,700

but it helps me before I chant on my beads

378

00:14:57,700 --> 00:15:00,533

or before we do garauga or we do what's called kirtan

379

00:15:00,766 --> 00:15:03,200

where we sing God's names together

380

00:15:03,700 --> 00:15:05,033

this is known as Shravanam

381

00:15:05,033 --> 00:15:07,166

Kirtanam Vishvam Sharmanam hearing

382

00:15:07,166 --> 00:15:08,600

repeating and remembering God's names

383

00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,966

the first three of nine really devotional practices

384

00:15:12,366 --> 00:15:13,666

which lead to ultimately

385

00:15:13,666 --> 00:15:16,533

to self and god realization on the highest level

386

00:15:17,233 --> 00:15:19,133

um we

387

00:15:19,833 --> 00:15:22,100

this third prayer that we use the

388

00:15:22,100 --> 00:15:24,200

from Lord Sitania it's

389

00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:25,500

it's really quite wonderful

390

00:15:25,500 --> 00:15:27,400

I try to repeat it every day

391

00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:30,200

a few times and it goes like this

392

00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:31,000

hi ball

393

00:15:31,366 --> 00:15:32,866

it goes good good

394

00:15:32,900 --> 00:15:33,900

it goes like this

395

00:15:33,900 --> 00:15:37,133

one should chant the holy names of the Lord

396

00:15:37,466 --> 00:15:39,766

in a humble state of mind

397

00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,166

feeling oneself to be lower

398

00:15:42,166 --> 00:15:44,133

than the straw in the street

399

00:15:44,700 --> 00:15:47,566

one should be more tolerant than the tree

400

00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,466

devoid of all sense of false prestige

401

00:15:50,666 --> 00:15:52,500

and ready to offer all

402

00:15:52,500 --> 00:15:56,000

respects to others in such a state of mind

403

00:15:56,266 --> 00:16:00,000

one can chant the names of the Lord

404

00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:05,266

one can chant the holy names of the Lord constantly

405

00:16:06,766 --> 00:16:10,100

and and just meditating on this prayer alone

406

00:16:10,100 --> 00:16:12,366

it so much can come from it

407

00:16:13,633 --> 00:16:18,200

on an ever increasing level thank you yeah

408

00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:20,800

so it's a reminder too

409

00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:24,600

that what the end goal is not to be some sort of

410

00:16:25,433 --> 00:16:26,066

you know

411

00:16:26,066 --> 00:16:29,866

big wig big shot super high better than others

412

00:16:29,866 --> 00:16:33,066

it's actually really to be looking up at God

413

00:16:33,066 --> 00:16:35,633

and God's creation and all of the living entities

414

00:16:35,633 --> 00:16:38,300

with the sincere admiration

415

00:16:38,433 --> 00:16:40,200

respect and love for

416

00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,466

for who that person really is the living entity

417

00:16:42,633 --> 00:16:46,033

part and parcel of the supreme person spark of the

418

00:16:46,033 --> 00:16:47,166

the Big Fire

419

00:16:48,466 --> 00:16:52,166

amazingly drop of water from an ocean of divinity

420

00:16:52,166 --> 00:16:54,500
