05.21- What comes fast doesn’t last; what does last doesn’t come fast
→ The Spiritual Scientist

Our culture allures us with the promise of immediate pleasure: “Eat this, smell this, touch this – and you will enjoy real fast.” Material pleasures may come fast – just by the contact of the senses with the sense objects. But they never last. Because the capacity of the sense objects to give pleasure is […]

How impersonalism is also a type of God worship
→ The Spiritual Scientist

Such people [impersonalists] think themselves to be the Supreme Lord, and in this mentality they worship themselves. This is also a type of God worship, for they can understand that they are not the material body but are actually spiritual soul; at least, such a sense is prominent. Generally the impersonalists worship the Supreme Lord […]

08.15 – The world is a hospital; be hospitable to the doctor
→ The Spiritual Scientist

Patients admitted in a hospital know that the doctor’s counsel is essential for their recovery. If some patients were inhospitable to the doctor, we would be appalled by their irrationality: is this a mental hospital? Yet, might we ourselves be acting like those patients? Gita wisdom indicates that the disease of misdirected desires afflicts us. […]

The mystic power of the Lord
→ The Spiritual Scientist

There is no difference between His [the Lord’s] mind and Himself (as there is a difference between ourselves and our present material mind) because He is absolute spirit. Simultaneously the Lord is present in everything; yet the common man cannot understand how He is also present personally. He is different from this material manifestation, yet […]

When money offers security amidst uncertainty how can one give up material ambition for spiritual pursuits?
→ The Spiritual Scientist

From Milind Sonawane The most common reason to hold ones possessions and strive for more is to address eventualities which money can resolve, such as disease, hospitalization, accidents or incidences leading to physical or mental dis-ability or any such life’s situation which money can ease out. All of this applicable to one self or his […]

10.11 – Ignite the light that makes the inner world bright and right
→ The Spiritual Scientist

Whenever power goes off, the resulting darkness makes us tentative, insecure, even paralytic. No wonder we constantly strive to keep our outer world well lit. Yet we rarely strive to keep our inner world similarly lit. In fact, we frequently don’t even realize that our inner world is often shrouded in a disturbing and distressing […]

Can the level of language in Gita-daily articles be made simpler?
→ The Spiritual Scientist

From Man Mohan P Thank you very much for providing BG articles for free. I have one request,if the English vocabulary used in articles can be made simple (normal or common vocab as in Srila Prabhupada’s books),it may be more understood by common people having normal English background like me without the help of dictionary. Please […]

06.22 – Do not ensure heartbreaks; insure against heartbreaks
→ The Spiritual Scientist

Where our heart is, that’s where we are. Usually, our heart is in material things; we long for them fervently. As all material things are temporary, our attachment to them ensures the inevitable breaking of our heart. Again and again. Lifetime after lifetime. Gita wisdom opens the door out of this tradition of heartbreaks by […]

09.21 – Seek not higher material happiness; seek higher than material happiness
→ The Spiritual Scientist

We want to make things better, to make our life better, to make the world better. This urge for betterment drives our various activities – economical, social, cultural, political, and even religious. Gita wisdom informs us that this urge is natural because we are meant for a better life than what we presently have. We […]

Attach yourself to the bosom of the Lord
→ The Spiritual Scientist

Everyone should attach himself to the bosom of the Supreme Personality of Godhead so that he can be eternally happy. The devotional service of the Supreme Lord is the only process by which all problems of all classes of men can be solved. Everyone should therefore take to Krishna consciousness and make his life perfect. […]

18.46 – Complement spirit with spirituality for complete success
→ The Spiritual Scientist

“I will never give up; I will keep fighting till I succeed.” Those with such spirit who succeed against insurmountable odds often become heroes. Fierce tenacity is laudable and even essential for achieving anything glorious. To raise our drive to achieve to a higher level, indeed, to the highest level, Gita wisdom urges us to […]
