In this episode, The Bearded Mystic Podcast discusses the 5th chapter of the Bhagavad Gita, specifically verses 1 - 6.  Arjuna asks a question that every seeker wants to know - is it better to renounce the world or should I live a normal life and be spiritual? What is easier and will both paths lead to the same destination? Sri Krishna responded by expressing that both Karma Yoga and Gyana Yoga lead to the Highest attainment which is mukti but of both paths - it is karma yoga that is easier. Understand that the Atma does not have the fruits like pain and pleasure of any action, this then brings freedom. Don’t naively claim one path will reach self-knowledge and the other will not. This is foolish thinking. Be smart and understand both paths reach the same outcome - Self-Realization. Sri Krishna explains how the path of action is what prepares the mind for Knowledge of Brahman and then this will lead to freedom. For the beginner on this journey, they should perform selfless actions, giving up all outcomes and then they will attain the Highest - which is this Gyana. How quickly we get there depends on how quickly and diligently we practice.

In this episode, The Bearded Mystic Podcast discusses the 4th chapter of the Bhagavad Gita, specifically verses 39 - 42.  Sri Krishna guides us on the importance of having shraddha and giving our complete focus on this Gyan and that is how we balance ourselves in this most Supreme Brahman - the Ultimate Self. To be in contentment in this life and the next, we need to go beyond the superficial purpose of living and enter a deeper understanding that pervades all of existence.  See yourself as the Atman - this Brahman and watch every action of yours be based on humanity and they are ethical. This chapter is brought to a beautiful end as Sri Krishna gives us the lesson we need to understand and the natural result of its practice. We are nothing but the True Self - this Atman.

In this episode, The Bearded Mystic Podcast discusses the wisdom of the Christian Mystic Meister Eckhart. He had a distinguished career became a Parisian Professor of Theology and took a leading pastoral and organizational role in the Dominican Order.

In the language of the Christian tradition, Eckhart expounds the eternal mysteries in a style that is fresh and original in the best sense. Through the vividness of his use of imagery,  Eckhart paradoxically directs us to that which lies beyond the image - going beyond the name and form of both Christ and God.

The depth and universality of Eckhart's teaching have drawn seekers of truth to the radical notion of oneness. His radical and penetrating insight makes him an interesting mystic to learn from.

In this episode, I go through the mystical sayings of Meister Eckhart that mainly focus on what religion is and the oneness of Truth, beyond traditions and institutions.

I hope you enjoyed listening to the Wisdom of the Mystics series and if you are interested in listening to more episodes about Non-Duality and a deep dive into the Bhagavad Gita, please follow/subscribe to this Podcast.

In this episode, The Bearded Mystic Podcast discusses the 4th chapter of the Bhagavad Gita, specifically verses 34 - 38.  Sri Krishna guides Arjuna to give utmost respect to the sages and rishis who know Brahman. Arjuna must serve them, ask sincere questions, share this wisdom with all, so that this Gyana can be taught to him. What others can't see, these rishis and gurus can see. Arjuna can never be deluded or confused again. He will see that all beings, himself and Krishna are all one - this Supreme Brahman. It doesn't matter what you think of yourself, how your past was, or how you are now, this wisdom will always carry you to the safety of your True Self. Sri Krishna explains how the Gyana burns away all our karma! Immerse yourself deeper into the Atman - unite every action in remembrance of Brahman, give every thought and action as a sacred offering to the devas and be fulfilled.

In this episode, The Bearded Mystic Podcast discusses the 4th chapter of the Bhagavad Gita, specifically verses 30 - 33.  Sri Krishna instructs us to dedicate everything to Brahman, as a sacred offering as this will keep the mind focussed on worship and this naturally creates selfless acts, and no reactions from karma will have its effect upon you. Sri Krishna explains to only consume that which you have offered to the devas, thinking of Brahman. Without this, material success at the very least is not even achieved. Yajna is essential. Sri Krishna explains everything is Brahman and is offered to It. To get freedom is to understand yajna and then practice it. For everything is the Lord’s, to the Lord it returns. Sri Krishna guides Arjuna that this Gyana of Brahman is worth far more than anything material. Giving yourself to the Divine is the most important and supreme offering.

In this episode, The Bearded Mystic Podcast discusses the 4th chapter of the Bhagavad Gita, specifically verses 24 - 29.  Sri Krishna instructs us to be completely one in Brahman and to offer all actions to Brahman. Sri Krishna highlights two differences between spiritual aspirants - some do it to please the devas, some offer their mind to the Ultimate Reality. Sri Krishna gives us two options on how to deal with the senses. One is to eliminate any information perceived from the senses before they reach the mind. The other is to let the senses give the information to the mind and the mind burns its effects by offering everything to Brahman. Both paths lead to the purification of the mind. Through thorough negation, we can reach Brahman. Some give up different things, take up certain practices, become monks, some offer their life breath as a sacred offering to Brahman.
