Perfect Escape

by Devamrita Swami

Timeless wisdom from the Vedas with modern commentary based on the teachings of one of India's greatest spiritual leaders.The advanced consciousness of human beings is for understanding the deepest mysteries of existence.Yet most people today don't even have any practical understanding of the difference between spirit and matter. Spiritual knowledge is vague and inconclusive.Although fashionable peddlers of popular spirituality claim we are spiritual beings, there is a huge gulf between chic notions of he spiritual self and clear-cut knowledge about it.Centuries ago, the truth was imparted during a chance encounter between a wandering sage, Jaḍa Bharata, and a powerful ruler, Mahārāja Rahūgaṇa. In the course of a spirited discussion, Jaḍa Bharata expertly and lovingly transported Rahūgaṇa out of the desert of false prestige, and unscrupulous action.To this day, anyone who acts according to the knowledge he imparted will prosper in full understanding and spiritual satisfaction. Jaḍa Bharata's timeless wisdom is a blueprint for the perfect escape from material bondage through knowledge of the Supreme Ultimate Truth.

I must say it's jarring when people who claim to be spiritual make fun of and villinize others for not believing the same things they do or simply questioning their logical soundness. Those which posses critical thinking can also believe very strongly, when they fully understand what it is they believe in. The author unfortunately doesn't seem to have strong enough conviction in order to persuade the valid arguments being brought up, so he resorts to using his spirituality as the only source of knowledge and logic necessary. I felt like he was trying to advertise his beliefs rather than teach them to the reader.
