Do the Right Thing

Описание: Swami Kriyananda explains that the divine qualities described in the Bhagavad Gita are symbolized by the five Pandava brothers, each representing an inner spiritual trait. He emphasizes that spiritual progress requires strong willpower, devotion, and uplifted energy.

Bhima symbolizes the heart’s power to raise bodily energy through love and devotion. Arjuna stands for fiery self-control, essential for overcoming challenges. Virata represents the blissful ego aligned with the soul, guiding one toward divine joy. Drupada embodies dispassion from worldly desires, which is vital for inner freedom.

Swami Kriyananda clarifies that enjoyment is not in external objects but in one’s own response to them. True spiritual growth comes from withdrawing energy from sensory attractions and focusing it inward. The charioteer symbolizes the mind controlling the senses. Ultimately, finding God requires love, inner strength, and conscious direction of energy toward higher truths, not mere good intentions or outward religious actions.
