RAMAKRISHNA ANANDA

Quotes — Sri Krishna

How can contact with the soul free us?

In the Bhagavad Gita we find inspiring words from Sri Krishna about the development of wisdom and light. He describes the qualities which come as a result of attunement with Spirit. The lamp of wisdom, lit within us by the Lord, ultimately leads to an unbroken awareness of the Divine. Enjoy these beautiful truths from the Gita and prepare to receive greater light. You can live in increasing states of harmony and walk in the light of God through your practice of yoga.

Stories

Direct Realization of Light

Mere intellectual knowledge of soul or atman, the true self, will not free you from misery. You need direct experience and realization of the light. To experience the self and its light, you need purity of mind and heart. Contact with the soul cleanses you and frees you from a bound state and reinstates you in Spirit and light.

Our original state is Spirit and light. It is not far away; it is here within. Spirit’s light pervades the whole universe and is available to all.

Words from the Bhagavad Gita:

  • All beings exist in Me. I am the Source of all beings.
  • Mind takes the coloring of what it glorifies.
  • Whatever you do, whatever you eat, whatever you offer in sacrifice, whatever austerity you practice, do it as an offering to Me.
  • The turning point in life comes in dedicating your everything to Me.
  • As the river gives itself to the ocean and becomes one with it, the devotee gives himself to Me and becomes one with Me.
  • Out of pure compassion for devotees, dwelling in their hearts, I destroy the ignorance-born darkness by the luminous lamp of wisdom.

How to Succeed

As you may know, we do not charge for our courses. All Yoga World content is free and available to you with our blessings. However, we do have a simple, but important request that’s key to the transformations necessary to succeed on the path.

We ask you to commit two hours a week to selfless service. This service can be anything you choose ranging from helping a family member or neighbor to volunteering at a nonprofit organization.

I Commit to Serve

This commitment is solely between you and your inner self.

Why the Commitment?
