Ananda Vacanamrtam: Difference between revisions

In his discourse on chapter 4 of Part 34{{sfn|Anandamurti|1978|}} Anandamurti explains how the mind expands due to ''Tantra sadhana'', intending this ''sadhana'' as a fundamental fight between the spiritual [[force]] and the debasing material force. Here the author also considers ''Tantra'' as a "cult", defining "cult" as a subjective approach towards the "Supreme Subject". On this process ''tantrics'' have necessarily to face themselves with the worldly things, i.e. the world of objectivities. It's therefore necessary what the author calls a "subjective approach and objective adjustment".

The series ends with the short talk "The Best Mental Engagement" of chapter 22, given by the author on May, 28 1988 in [[Anandanagar]] ([[India]]n [[States and territories of India|state]] of [[West Bengal]]), in wich Anandamurti explains the spiritual meaning of the [[Chaitanya Mahaprabhu]]'s [[shloka]]:  

(You must be more humble than the [[grass]] and as [[Toleration|tolerant]] as the [[tree]]s. You must give [[respect]] to those whom no one respects, and always do [[Kirtan|kiirtana]] to the [[Names of God|Lord]].)
