BEYOND THE MIND AND HIGHER THAN THE INTELLIGENCE

Deepak Srivastava Yesterday at 12:40 pm Silver: 3556
Of late I am getting a feeling that Godhead is a state of mind rather than a physical place. The following verse needs thorough understanding. SB 12.5.11-12 ahaṁ brahma paraṁ dhāma  brahmāhaṁ paramaṁ padam evaṁ samīkṣya cātmānam  ātmany ādhāya niṣkale daśantaṁ takṣakaṁ pāde  lelihānaṁ viṣānanaiḥ na drakṣyasi śarīraṁ ca  viśvaṁ ca pṛthag ātmanaḥ Hare Krishna REPLY	Like (1)  Report Offensive  Block this user

I have intentionally not explained since different people have given different meaning. My interpretation is that Parakshit Maharaj on hearing the Bhagwat discourse attains that state of mind where the worldly matters symbolised by Takshak Nag does not matter to him. This state is Vaikunth rather than a place by the name of Vaikunth....Hare Krishna REPLY	Like   Report Offensive  Block this user

Yes. A physical place as we are accustomed to perceive, Godhead is not, and yet out of compassion from time to time The Supreme Godhead will manifest so that we may perceive "a physical form." Yet it is higher than the mind also. The mind is also physical, subtle physical.. Beyond the mind and even the intelligence there is another field of activity for the spirit. yuñjann evaṁ sadātmānaṁ yogī niyata-mānasaḥ śāntiṁ nirvāṇa-paramāṁ mat-saṁsthām adhigacchati Bg 6.15 http://prabhupadabooks.com/bg/6/15?d=1 Hari bol...
