In this episode, The Bearded Mystic Podcast discusses the wisdom of one of my favorite poets Rumi. He was a 13th-century Persian poet, that has transcended geography, time, and ethnic divisions. He is known as the most popular poet because he often has quotes attributed to him that are shared on every social media platform!
In this episode, I go through the mystical poetry of Rumi that mainly focuses on what religion really is and the oneness of Truth, beyond traditions and institutions.

The Bearded Mystic Podcast - Thoughts on The Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 3: Verse 6 - Verse 9)
play

03/13/22 • 47 min

Send us a text

In this episode, The Bearded Mystic Podcast discusses the 3rd chapter of the Bhagavad Gita, specifically verses 6 - 9. Krishna’s attempt in this verse is getting us ready to understand the important of restrain even as a householder. If we are still remembering past pleasures, we automatically will go for future experiences. Krishna guides that to control the senses, one needs to not have any attachment and must learn to observe and discern with the knowledge of Brahman. That person is a great karma yogi. Be honest with your life and act accordingly. Do your duties, look after your family. Earn a livelihood with honesty and integrity. Nobody can live a life without action. Sri Krishna would like us to offer every action to the Supreme. To Brahman.

Diving into the profound teachings of the Vedanta Sara, we explore the fundamental nature of consciousness as the indivisible, eternal reality that forms the basis of all existence.
• Understanding our highest desire is not temporary pleasures but jivan mukti - liberation while alive
• The Self is described as indivisible, eternal, conscious, and blissful
• Non-duality means there is no separation between "me" and Brahman
• Consciousness is beyond time - past, present, and future
• Our ability to contemplate existence comes from consciousness itself
• True bliss is permanent and beyond sensory gratification
• The ultimate truth is beyond the reach of speech and mind
• Awareness itself is the only direct path to realization
• The importance of a Guru who can show us our true nature
• This series provides the foundation for deeper exploration of formless awareness

Knowledge can be a double-edged sword on the spiritual path. We dive deep into the second verse of the Shiva Sutras, exploring the idea that knowledge may bind rather than liberate. Throughout the conversation, we examine what it means to truly embody spirituality beyond intellectual understanding.

Rahul and Knowe Rata explore the dance between spiritual awakenin

g and human experience, discussing how to remain authentic while grounded in awareness. They share insights on bhakti yoga, the power of silence, and the nature of consciousness beyond physical death.
• Knowe shares his journey into spirituality that began in his teens through meditation and evolved through Buddhist groups and bhakti yoga
• Both discuss the importance of looking after the physical body on the spiritual path without becoming rigid or puritanical
• Bhakti yoga and devotion create profound openings through their meditative singing and surrender to something higher
• Silence emerges as perhaps the ultimate spiritual teaching, transmitting truth beyond what words can express
• They explore how spiritual communities must adapt to artificial intelligence while providing experiences AI cannot replicate
• Death is contemplated as a beautiful reminder of life's temporality while consciousness itself never truly dies
• Both emphasize staying authentic on the spiritual path rather than creating separate "spiritual personas"
• The paradoxical nature of awakening involves being fully human while recognizing one's boundless true nature
