Peacefulness,
nonviolence, austerity, purity, tolerance, honesty, wisdom, knowledge,
religiousness etc. are in the mode of goodness.
Heroism,
power, determination, resourcefulness, courage, generosity, and leadership
qualities are in the mode of passion.
Farming,
business, commerce, industrialization, etc. are in the mode of passion cum
ignorance.
Labor
and service to others are in the mode of ignorance.
Regardless
of which ever mode one is, one can attain perfection, self realization and
liberation if one does one’s duty for god, in full god consciousness and as
god’s devotee.

Spirituaism
The
happiness which awakens one to self realization and which tastes like poison in
the beginning but like nectar in the end, is the one in the mode of goodness.
The
happiness which is derived by the contact of senses with their objects, and
which tastes like nectar in the beginning but like poison in the end is in the
mode of passion.
The
happiness which is blind to self realization and which tastes like poison
through and through, and which gives birth to delusion, sleep, and laziness is in
the mode of ignorance.

Determination
which is steadfast by yoga practice and which controls the mind, senses and
life is in the mode of goodness.
Determination
fixed on fruitive results, economic development and sense gratification is in
the mode of passion.
Determination
which cannot go beyond dreaming, fearfulness, lamentation, moroseness, and
illusion is in the mode of ignorance.

The
worker who is in god consciousness, free from material attachments and false
ego and who is indifferent to both success and failure is in a mode of
goodness.
However
the worker who is attached to the fruits of his/her labor, who wants to enjoy
them, who is greedy, envious and impure and is moved by both happiness and
distress is in the mode of passion.
And one
who is engaged in some work which is against injunctions of the scriptures, who
is materialistic, obstinate, and a cheater notorious for insulting others,
lazy, morose, and procrastinating is in the mode of ignorance.

That
action which is done without any attachment and is performed as a duty to god
without either love or hate, by someone in the renounced order is supposed to
be in the mode of goodness.
Action
done with great effort to gratify one’s material desires and which is enacted
with a sense of false ego is action in the mode of passion.
Action
done without considering about future bondage or consequences and which
inflicts injury and is impractical is in the mode of ignorance.

The
knowledge by which one undivided spiritual nature is seen everywhere is known
as that in goodness mode.
The
knowledge by which one feels that one different soul is entrapped in every
individual body according to the past karma is that in passion mode. Here one
feels that the soul or consciousness perishes when the body dies.
That
which identifies with the body and gets attached to some kind of work thinking
that it is the all in all, is knowledge in the ignorance mode. Here the native
becomes totally ignorant of the truth that one gets a body according to one’s
past Karma, and wrongly believes that if one is a sweeper in this birth, one
will be so in future births too.

The
knowledge, the action and the performer depend on a permutation and combination
of Goodness, Passion and ignorance. As for example:
Achrya
Drona was a noble Brahmin, who took to martial arts. Now a Brahmin is supposed
to be from the goodness mode and martial art is passionate. Drona became such
an expert in this art that he became the most qualified teacher of martial
arts. So far so good but Dronachrya was a man from goodness mode who knew
nothing about the passion mode. Like a blind man leading the way he taught
these arts to his own son Ashwatthama who like a nincompoop discharged the
Brahmastra on the unsuspecting Pandavas to the chagrin of Veda Vyasa. Only
because of lord Krshna, Uttara’s baby could be saved in the womb by this deadly
weapon.

Knowledge,
the object of knowledge and the knower are the three factors that motivate
action. The senses, the work and the doer of the work, are the threefold basis
of action.
Tuesday, March 20, 2018
Spiritualism
To give
up the results of activities is called renunciation. One who is renounced is
called Sanyasi. Acts of charity, penance and sacrifice purify the soul and they
should be performed without expectation of results. Prescribed duties should
never be renounced. This type of renunciation does not lead to elevation on the
spiritual platform. In other words the fruits of action and not the action
itself should be renounced.

The
syllables OM TAT SAT are meant to address the supreme and are uttered by
devotees while making various sacrifices. The absolute truth is the main
objective of all sacrifices.
Sunday, March 18, 2018

Charity
done with an expectation for some material result or in a grudging mood is in
the passion mode.
Charity
done without any sanction by scriptures, at an improper place and to unworthy
persons is in the mode of ignorance.

Charity
according to prescribed rules and regulations, to the deserving people during
auspicious occasions at the right time and place are in the mode of goodness.
These are done without expectation of any return.

Those
penances, austerities etc. meant to gain respect, honor and reverence for
oneself are in the mode of passion.
Those
done to physically and mentally torture one self or others is in the mode of ignorance.
Spiritualism
Cleanliness,
simplicity, celibacy, nonviolence, etc. are austerities of the body. Austerity
of speech and truthfulness, serenity, gravity, self control and purity of
thought are austerity of the mind. All these things are meant to please the
lord.
Wednesday, March 14, 2018
Spiritualism
Sacrifices
as prescribed by the scriptures are in the mode of goodness. Sacrifices done to
satisfy one’s false ego, for material benefits and to be transferred to
heavenly kingdom is in the mode of passion. Sacrifices done without adhering to
any rules and regulations prescribed in the scriptures is in the mode of
ignorance.

Even
food taken in the mode of goodness purifies the eater’s mind, is healthy, juicy
and fresh. Food in the mode of passion is very spicy, pungent and dry. Food
that is putrid, old, and unclean is in the mode of ignorance.

Spiritualism
Devotees
in the form of goodness worship demigods. Men in the mode of passion worship
demons. And those in the form of ignorance worship ghosts and spirits.
Those
who undergo severe austerities and penances not recommended by scriptures are
demons.

The
three gates leading to hell are anger, lust and greed. A sane and divine person
should give up these. One should act according to regulation mentioned in the
scriptures. Slowly the living entity will get elevated from mode ignorance to
passion and then to goodness. Thus gradually the person will attain the supreme
destination.

Attaining
repeated birth among the demonic species, the demons sink down to the lowest
form of existence. This way they become asuras (demons) and are ultimately
killed by god. This is one form of deliverance.
Friday, March 9, 2018
Spiritualism
The
demonic do organize charity and sacrifice without following rules and
regulations but not because they are devoted to god but to feed their own false
ego. There is a saying in Greek ‘ Beware the person who prays in public.’ By
making a show of religiousness, one can fool the gullible public but not god or
his genuine devotees.
Bewildered
they go against god who they begin to fear and hate. Such people are the lowest
among humans, cast by god himself into the ocean of material existence into
various demonic species that includes that of beasts.

Acharya
Dron thought that because he himself and his own son Ashwathama were such great
warriors and were supported by the Kurus, he was invincible. We all know what happened
in the end.

Dhrishtarashtra
thought that as he himself was the king of the greatest kingdom Hastinapur,
flanked by stalwarts like Bhishma Pitamah, Dronacharya, brother-in-law Shakuni
and his own one hundred sons, he could never be defeated in any battle. How
wrong was he proved in the end?
Tuesday, March 6, 2018
Spiritualism
Bhishma
Pitamah despite his extraordinary prowess and intelligence believed that he has
to die only after the kingdom of Hastinapur (which was a fragment of the
inferior material energy) is protected from enemies. Little did he know that he
himself had no control over time the greatest leveler.
Monday, March 5, 2018
Spiritualism
The
demonic believe that satisfying one’s senses is the be all and end all of this
life. This results in irrepressible desires, lust, fear, anger, illusion and
false ego. All these lead one to hell.
The
demonic are deluded by ignorance. They are happy tied to this impermanent
material world.
Sunday, March 4, 2018
Spiritualism
The
world is full of living entities who are either divine or demonic. The demonic
people are too ignorant to know what is to be done and what is not to be done.
They are bound by the rope of incredible lust. The demonic natured people
indulge in activities that are destructive to all including themselves and the
world. They seek the refuge of insatiable lust, pride and false prestige.
Saturday, March 3, 2018

That
clearly shows that one has begun thinking out of this material body. And the
best method to do so is to get one’s mind, intelligence and soul attached to
god permanently.
