Speaker: 00:00:02

hello and welcome hello hello hello and welcome

00:00:10,466 --> 00:00:14,700

and peace be with you and upon you

00:00:14,833 --> 00:00:17,133

I'm Mark and I'm Maria

00:00:17,233 --> 00:00:20,766

and this is Juicy Magic on the daily

00:00:22,766 --> 00:00:23,966

so I just wanted to start the

00:00:23,966 --> 00:00:25,200

you know the reading from the Bible

00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:25,900

Gita as it is

00:00:25,900 --> 00:00:28,066

if you get a chance to buy this beautiful book

00:00:28,066 --> 00:00:29,933

it's by his divine Grace

00:00:30,700 --> 00:00:31,500

Sri

00:00:35,633 --> 00:00:36,433

00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:40,866

Christopher speaking to his dear friend and disciple

00:00:40,866 --> 00:00:43,566

Arjuna on the battlefield of Kurukshetra

00:00:44,166 --> 00:00:47,433

I was just I love to read it from start to finish

00:00:47,433 --> 00:00:48,466

and then start over again

00:00:48,466 --> 00:00:50,866

but sometimes it's nice just to turn to a

00:00:51,166 --> 00:00:53,366

it's good to have a good understanding of it

00:00:53,366 --> 00:00:56,033

or a basic understanding to start the foundation

00:00:56,033 --> 00:00:58,066

but there are some

00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:01,800

slokas or stanzas that are just

00:01:01,966 --> 00:01:04,566

they just blow my mind every time I read them

00:01:04,633 --> 00:01:07,366

this is from the contents of the Gita Summarized

00:01:07,500 --> 00:01:09,166

Chapter 2 12

00:01:10,166 --> 00:01:12,766

never was this is Krishna speaking to Arjuna

00:01:13,033 --> 00:01:15,733

never was there a time when I did not exist

00:01:16,033 --> 00:01:19,133

nor you nor all these kings

00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:20,800

00:01:27,700 --> 00:01:29,533

it's an offering of respect to

00:01:29,900 --> 00:01:31,666

to the compiler of the betas

00:01:31,666 --> 00:01:35,966

and please start again so Chapter 2:12

00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,733

never was there a time when I did not exist

00:01:40,500 --> 00:01:43,366

nor you nor all these kings

00:01:43,966 --> 00:01:47,966

nor in the future so shall any of us cease to be

00:01:49,066 --> 00:01:49,900

you know that's

00:01:49,900 --> 00:01:51,666

that's really beautiful we have so much

00:01:51,666 --> 00:01:52,800

I know even you know

00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,700

my life recently we've had so many friends and family

00:01:55,700 --> 00:01:57,700

members and relatives leaving their bodies

00:01:57,800 --> 00:01:58,900

shh they're gone

00:01:59,266 --> 00:02:00,600

get the message in the morning

00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:02,700

oh your uncle so and so passed away

00:02:03,300 --> 00:02:05,600

and it's really amazing to

00:02:06,033 --> 00:02:07,633

sometimes we need to hear about this

00:02:07,633 --> 00:02:09,766

that this even this knowledge exists

00:02:09,766 --> 00:02:11,700

this understanding this revelation

00:02:11,700 --> 00:02:12,566

this truth

00:02:13,266 --> 00:02:16,066

to accept it or to begin to actually inquire it

00:02:16,066 --> 00:02:18,166

is that true can that be true

00:02:18,633 --> 00:02:21,233

who am I what am I really made up of

00:02:21,233 --> 00:02:22,600

am I am I matter

00:02:22,833 --> 00:02:24,166

am I just this body

00:02:24,900 --> 00:02:25,400

am I just

00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,100

these thoughts floating past the screen of my mind

00:02:29,366 --> 00:02:32,100

I had a next door neighbor who was my godfather

00:02:32,100 --> 00:02:35,633

who was an amazing Japanese Zen master named Paul

00:02:35,633 --> 00:02:36,900

in the Katsu and he

00:02:36,900 --> 00:02:37,866

he you know

00:02:37,866 --> 00:02:38,900

I was fortunate enough to be

00:02:38,900 --> 00:02:40,500

he was he was at my christening

00:02:40,500 --> 00:02:43,400

and he lived beside my parents in Newmarket

00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,233

and I grew up with him he passed away

00:02:46,233 --> 00:02:49,233

and I remember going to see the Grateful Dead in Vegas

00:02:49,233 --> 00:02:51,366

in 95 and I stayed with him for three nights

00:02:51,366 --> 00:02:52,066

it was just after

00:02:52,066 --> 00:02:54,433

I've been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes

00:02:54,433 --> 00:02:55,500

and I was really searching hard

00:02:55,500 --> 00:02:56,766

and you know

00:02:56,766 --> 00:02:59,700

he took me out to the desert and he said to me

00:02:59,700 --> 00:03:01,433

do you know have you made your decision

00:03:01,433 --> 00:03:02,266

I was like

00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:04,700

he knew I was thinking of

00:03:05,033 --> 00:03:07,566

you know maybe trying to smash my body or end my

00:03:07,566 --> 00:03:08,966

leave my body or end my life

00:03:08,966 --> 00:03:10,466

or commit suicide or whatever

00:03:10,700 --> 00:03:12,066

it's pretty it's pretty

00:03:12,066 --> 00:03:16,100

shaken up and I said and he knew and I

00:03:16,100 --> 00:03:17,366

I I kind of knew

00:03:17,366 --> 00:03:19,600

he knew that I was thinking some of these thoughts

00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:20,200

I said yeah

00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:24,166

I am I'm gonna stay he said good

00:03:24,166 --> 00:03:26,100

the best is yet to come he said

00:03:26,100 --> 00:03:27,866

so much is coming for you

00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:29,833

and he knew that I've been into that

00:03:29,833 --> 00:03:35,700

this physical illness kind of helped me accelerate my

00:03:35,700 --> 00:03:39,600

I'd always been interested in in the non material

00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:41,133

as a little kid I used to

00:03:42,166 --> 00:03:44,500

I was really fascinated by skulls on the beach

00:03:44,500 --> 00:03:46,033

and you know when I was 3 and 4

00:03:46,033 --> 00:03:47,800

when we go camping I find these

00:03:49,100 --> 00:03:50,600

dead bodies of creatures

00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,700

their skeletons and I was just fascinated by that so

00:03:54,100 --> 00:03:55,166

but yeah this

00:03:55,166 --> 00:03:59,066

the physical suffering can be horrible

00:03:59,066 --> 00:04:00,500

if it has no meaning

00:04:01,166 --> 00:04:05,033

but once we start to understand what suffering is

00:04:05,033 --> 00:04:05,966

and what it's for

00:04:05,966 --> 00:04:09,766

it's here to remind us that this is not our true home

00:04:09,766 --> 00:04:13,600

this is not our our bodies are not really us

00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:15,100

they're our vehicle

100

00:04:15,633 --> 00:04:18,000

they're temporary they appear

101

00:04:18,166 --> 00:04:20,500

they grow they stay for some time

102

00:04:20,500 --> 00:04:21,633

they produce by products

103

00:04:21,633 --> 00:04:23,500

they dwindle and then they disappear

104

00:04:23,666 --> 00:04:25,466

it's pretty much it the nutshell

105

00:04:26,100 --> 00:04:28,633

you know and rather than get depressed by that

106

00:04:28,633 --> 00:04:32,600

we can really start to to meditate on that

107

00:04:33,166 --> 00:04:35,166

and we're reading the Geeta every day

108

00:04:35,166 --> 00:04:36,300

and reading other scriptures

109

00:04:36,300 --> 00:04:39,866

and engaging in sivanabhakti and in practices of

110

00:04:39,866 --> 00:04:41,633

of of mantra meditation on beads

111

00:04:41,633 --> 00:04:43,466

and doing garam breathing

112

00:04:43,466 --> 00:04:47,500

and also uh kirtan chanting

113

00:04:48,033 --> 00:04:51,766

it's a great incredible way to taste

114

00:04:53,366 --> 00:04:54,600

uh the knowledge

115

00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:56,066

the understanding

116

00:04:56,066 --> 00:04:59,600

the experience of what we just read here

117

00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,166

that there will never be a time when I cease to exist

118

00:05:02,166 --> 00:05:03,300

there's so much

119

00:05:04,233 --> 00:05:05,966

I mean depending on our perspective

120

00:05:05,966 --> 00:05:07,433

if we're heading in the wrong direction

121

00:05:07,433 --> 00:05:09,000

then you know

122

00:05:09,033 --> 00:05:10,800

that's not so good but if we're

123

00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,700

if we realize that we have this choice we can make

124

00:05:14,266 --> 00:05:15,066

you know

125

00:05:15,700 --> 00:05:19,533

choice that we can make to focus on transendental

126

00:05:21,466 --> 00:05:23,566

information Transcendental Science

127

00:05:25,033 --> 00:05:27,300

then things get really exciting and interesting

128

00:05:27,300 --> 00:05:29,233

I mean I can hardly wait for the day to begin

129

00:05:29,233 --> 00:05:30,466

it's it's really

130

00:05:31,433 --> 00:05:34,266

despite all the challenges and difficulties of our

131

00:05:34,266 --> 00:05:35,933

of the outside world

132

00:05:37,100 --> 00:05:38,966

the inner world is really quite something

133

00:05:38,966 --> 00:05:41,266

and we were watching a show recently

134

00:05:42,100 --> 00:05:45,333

um we try not to watch too much

135

00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:46,800

you know modern media

136

00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:47,633

that you take in

137

00:05:47,633 --> 00:05:50,100

the consciousness of the people writing this stuff

138

00:05:50,233 --> 00:05:51,500

this was interesting to us

139

00:05:51,500 --> 00:05:55,100

because it was based on an ancient story of King David

140

00:05:55,100 --> 00:05:58,566

David of Israel and um

141

00:06:00,100 --> 00:06:02,300

it's just really impressed upon me that

142

00:06:02,700 --> 00:06:05,366

that I'm so grateful to the guide and to my teachers

143

00:06:05,366 --> 00:06:06,366

and to this process

144

00:06:06,366 --> 00:06:08,733

because it's really helped me understand

145

00:06:09,233 --> 00:06:11,366

I didn't really understand the world's scriptures

146

00:06:11,366 --> 00:06:13,500

when I was growing up I tried to read a lot of them

147

00:06:14,066 --> 00:06:14,766

I read them

148

00:06:14,766 --> 00:06:17,766

and sometimes they seem so confusing and strange

149

00:06:17,766 --> 00:06:19,400

and weird stuff in them

150

00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,766

but there's so many great things in them too

151

00:06:22,466 --> 00:06:26,966

um we noticed in the episode that what the king saw

152

00:06:26,966 --> 00:06:28,033

one of the kings of Israel

153

00:06:28,033 --> 00:06:31,233

king of Israel this is the Shepherd David

154

00:06:31,233 --> 00:06:33,800

is in his castle and he's

155

00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:35,566

he's the only one that can really help the king

156

00:06:35,566 --> 00:06:38,066

the king is possessed by demons

157

00:06:38,066 --> 00:06:40,766

and he's had a curse put on him by

158

00:06:40,833 --> 00:06:43,033

you know someone using black magic

159

00:06:43,033 --> 00:06:44,033

dark magic and his

160

00:06:44,033 --> 00:06:45,633

his mind is really troubled

161

00:06:45,633 --> 00:06:48,400

he's seeing things he's hallucinating

162

00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,200

or at least he's experiencing this demonic possession

163

00:06:51,833 --> 00:06:53,000

and um

164

00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:55,466

and I was taught that you know

165

00:06:55,466 --> 00:06:57,633

no matter where you are if you chant God's names

166

00:06:57,633 --> 00:07:00,900

that it will completely expel and banish

167

00:07:00,900 --> 00:07:03,833

you know demons or ghosts or

168

00:07:03,833 --> 00:07:06,600

or those that are envious in nature

169

00:07:07,300 --> 00:07:08,566

and that's really cool to see

170

00:07:08,566 --> 00:07:10,633

you know where he's being troubled

171

00:07:10,633 --> 00:07:11,400

and immediately

172

00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:15,266

David starts playing his harp and he starts singing

173

00:07:15,266 --> 00:07:16,466

you know Adonai

174

00:07:16,466 --> 00:07:18,166

that's the name of god in Hebrew

175

00:07:18,566 --> 00:07:20,166

Adonai Elohim you know

176

00:07:20,166 --> 00:07:21,633

he's singing this beautiful song

177

00:07:21,633 --> 00:07:24,966

he's chanting the names of god on this show

178

00:07:24,966 --> 00:07:29,500

on prime television and and immediately the king

179

00:07:30,833 --> 00:07:31,700

his he

180

00:07:31,700 --> 00:07:32,033

he the

181

00:07:32,033 --> 00:07:34,400

the demons sort of disappears and he

182

00:07:34,466 --> 00:07:37,766

he becomes calm and centered

183

00:07:38,500 --> 00:07:40,900

you can see the life returning to him

184

00:07:41,166 --> 00:07:42,300

you know that scene

185

00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:44,700

and it's so beautiful

186

00:07:44,700 --> 00:07:46,966

I was so glad that they put that in this

187

00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:48,200

you know that that's

188

00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:50,066

that's in the Bible that's in the Old Testament

189

00:07:50,066 --> 00:07:52,533

hold on I should check if I can get the soundtrack

190

00:07:54,100 --> 00:07:55,566

oh to David yeah

191

00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:56,700

yeah he's the

192

00:07:56,700 --> 00:07:59,500

that's like the most beautiful thing on the show yes

193

00:07:59,500 --> 00:08:00,033

he's chant

194

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

it's what he's chanting and really what is chanting

195

00:08:02,166 --> 00:08:03,033

chanting is like

196

00:08:03,033 --> 00:08:05,566

hearing and repeating any of God's names

197

00:08:05,833 --> 00:08:08,700

or sometimes there's descriptions of God's beauty

198

00:08:08,700 --> 00:08:12,400
