Description
Lecture by Swami Tattwamayananda. The lecture begins with the story of how Indra disguised himself as a pig and enjoyed life with a she-pig and children. The other angels came and pierced the body of the pig and he laughed and immediately understood his situation. In the same way, when higher Duhkha comes, there can be a quantum leap in our perspective. We get identified with our body and mind. Vyasa says mind functions as a magnet attracting objects according to its nature. When we purify it and link it to a high ideal we are able to receive and attract a higher percentage of helpful things. Verses: II.15, II.17
