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.

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
