BEING AWAKE, WHILE THE WORLD IS ASLEEP
Download | Duration: 00:50:27
This satsang, given by Swami Jyotirmayananda (yrf.org), gives a superbly insightful and clear explanation of two of the most important, and unfortunately the most misunderstood, verses of the entire Bhagavad Gita.
In Chapter II: verses 69-70 were are directed by the Lord:
"The man of restraint is awake in that which is night for all beings; The time in which all beings are awake is night for the sage who sees."From the explanation of these verses we come to understand the true meaning of the words of Sri Ramana Maharshi when he declared: "The true Jnani (Knower of God) is the greatest Bhakti (Lover of God)."
"Like the ocean, which becomes filled yet remains unmoved and stands still as the waters enter it, He whom all desires enter and who remains unmoved attains peace; not so to the man who is full of desire."
