On December 18, 2023, Posted by , In Blog,Philosophy, With No Comments

I will say something regarding the necessity of devotion (bhakti) in the path of spiritual cult.

And I also said that intellectuals, by dint of their intellectual power won’t be able to reach the goal, and that those engaged in actional faculties also can’t reach the goal. It…

The Poles Shift Their Respective Positions

On July 6, 2023, Posted by , In Blog,Philosophy, With No Comments

The subject of today’s discourse is, “The Poles Shift their Respective Positions.” Cardinal human principles are almost unchangeable. I say almost unchangeable because they always maintain a tactual relationship with the cosmological order and so the cardinal human principles or cardinal points of human existence do not undergo any change…
