examining surrender in various contexts: military, romantic, artistic, spiritual / surrendering the ego / Kaustubha concedes that Raghu is more of a âwood guyâ - but they both have to let this identity go / actively choosing to accept our fate / Krishna lets us run til weâre materially exhausted / our real bio: Iâm a tiny spirit soul here for a few days, to love / the elephant Gajendraâs alpha existence is about to turn on a dime

Manu and the Devas are the universal staff in service of Vishnu / Manu is preserving the sad-dharma over the course of his age / the 8th canto illustrates what surrender looks like through 3 narrations (Gajendra, the churning of the ocean of milk & Bali Maharaja) / lets not redefine Bhakti in order to sound inclusive / we donât object to a person's inclination towards the non-personal energy of Krishna (brahman), but when they deny Krishna Himself, and devotion to Him - thatâs when we object / a description of the heavenly planets

âWisdom is not knowledge, it is a realization of the scheme and of one's own part in it.â - Algernon Blackwood / THE UNIVERSAL SCHEME: you are designed to enjoy divine love (but you're not ready for it until you're free of all selfishness) / weâre doing the material world wrong / the faith of Richard Dawkins / the most fantastic creation myth is that everything came from nothing / the universe is the energy, body, and property of Krishna - work in harmony with that and you never get entangled by karma / great sages get us started by working for good karma in order to connect us with the sacred texts / the same source of knowledge gives different instructions according to our level of evolution

Is it possible that both the Jnana and Bhakti paths are correct in their understanding of âenlightenmentâ? That some people are naturally inclined towards devotion and due to conditioning and past samskaras some are naturally inclined to the jnana path? And after the dissolution of ego some would experience universal, impersonal, infinite consciousness, and others would experience the bliss of devotion to a personal form of God?

âAsceticism is to remain pure amidst impurities.â - Guru Nanak / the yogiâs practice of austerity is like a way of establishing controlled laboratory conditions / the Bhagavad-gita on who is a true renunciate and a true mystic (Bg. 6.1) / the Bhagavad-gita on who is a poser (Bg. 3.6) / more on spiritual communism / Krishna embodies apparently contradictory attributes / as the virtual reality programer remains beyond the encoded laws of the VR, so Krishna lies beyond the laws of the world / 2 prototypes of aging, the Sage and the Karen (sorry, people named Karen)

Chandogya Upanisad tells that what we meditate on we become / Sarva khalvidam brahma - what does it mean, that everything is brahman? / Bhagavad-gita 14.27 - Krishna is the basis of brahman / Bhagavad-gita 10.12 - Krishna is the Supreme Brahman / all creation is made possible by brahmanâs potential power / Brahman manifests as Krishnaâs multifarious energies: parasya saktir vividaiva sruyate (Svetasvatara Upanishad 6.8) / 4 ways that Sankaraâs Snake-rope metaphor fails - superimposition is impossible without â Similarities in attributes, Independent reality to both things, Prior experience of what is being superimposed, an outside entity coordinating the common superimpositions / the advaitin bliss is merely the neutral stage of relief from suffering / the opposite of being One Million Dollars in debt is not being free of debt, itâs owning one million dollars / Donât throw Sweet Baby Krishna out with the bathwater

âWe donât see reality. We see our reality.â - Professor Mercer from The Irrational / the Dartmouth Scar Experiment, sports, and the OJ trial all illustrate how mental impressions shape our perception / Vedantaâs classic metaphor of the snake and the rope / it is impossible to superimpose one idea unto another, if the former doesnât exist in reality - ergo - the form variety and individual personhood of this reflected in this world must exist in reality

âTrue sanity entails in one way or another the dissolution of the normal ego.â - R. D. Laing / the re-establishment of the true identity as servant of the divine / the purpose of ritual is the impression it leaves in the mind / through knowing (jnana) - one naturally lets go (vairagya) / When the senses are illuminated with knowledge ritualistic sacrifice may dissolve / offer sacrifice into the senses - the senses into the mind - the mind into mantra / attaining finer levels of bodies up to the top of the universe / the Bhagavad-gita compares all the yoga practices and, in the end, says - just surrender to Krishna
