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.

Thoughts on The Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 4: Verse 13 - Verse 18)
In this episode, The Bearded Mystic Podcast discusses the 4th chapter of the Bhagavad Gita, specifically verses 13 - 18. Sri Krishna gives details about the varna system, and why it was created. However, Krishna has left this to humans with the details. There is no need for the caste system today, it has very little purpose. Sri Krishna explains how to transcend the rules of karma and that is by not being attached to the results of the actions we do. We are instructed by Sri Krishna to follow the path of the ancient rishis who wanted moksha and follow this path of Karma Yoga - transcend the results of our actions. This is where the Bhagavad Gita will evolve the definition of what is karma and akarma. We must know the subtle differences with action despite how difficult it is to understand. Sri Krishna explains how a perfected yogi can tell the subtleties of material cause and effect between inaction in action, and action in inaction.

Thoughts on The Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 4: Verse 19 - Verse 23)
In this episode, The Bearded Mystic Podcast discusses the 4th chapter of the Bhagavad Gita, specifically verses 19 - 23. Sri Krishna makes a beautiful comment about the non-doership of a person and how their intellect is always turned towards Brahman. Once this is done, all consequences or reactions to their actions are burned away by the knowledge of the Atman. The real karma yogi appears to be acting but because they are completely satisfied, they in fact do nothing because they don't care about the reactions to their actions. The goal is to see ourselves as the formless awareness and then we have no karmic reactions created, we act without feeling anxious as we are transparent in knowing this reality of life. We have no desires and don't grab for any results. The Sage is always balanced in their own inherent peace. They see the Atman in one and all, therefore, they can easily be free from the outcome of any action. Understanding the oneness of All, by performing every action as a sacred offering to the Divine, they know what they are - this Formless Awareness.
