I believe vedanta is true, yet what good is it for the rabbit to realize it is one with the snake, or the man one with his murderer? Furthermore is it not implied in the doctrine of Hinduism is that the goal of existence is to realize unity with the godhead by seeing through the veil of Maya that there is any separation in between one creature and another? If so wouldn't this realization bring an end to all life as the lion could no longer eat the caribou the snake the rabbit and so on ending the food chain which perpetuates life on Earth? How could this be good? This channel is my very favorite of all on the subject of Hinduism. Thank you very much for taking the time to make these wonderful videos, I can't tell you how much I appreciate it❤
Focus and single pointed attention towards a goal is not karm yog......shlok means that the complete focus of the mind is towards the work itself and not the goal and realted benefits....only goal is the self realisation in life, which can be achieved by doing our duties and doing our actions without any selfish motive behind it
@@adhvaitha it's like using a Rolls Royce to open a roadside food stall. Gita is a spiritual book based on brahmgyan to preach us various paths to the self-realization. It should not be wrongly interpreted for manifesting desires and goals. I understand that you have to align the subject of your videos towards materialism so that more people are interested in watching, but it will also lead to wrong understanding and subsequently rejection of the core philosophy of Sanatan Dharm by many people.

I disagree. Bhagavad-Gita offers multi-dimensional wisdom as per the needs of different kinds of individuals. As mentioned in Vedanta, the tamasic people first evolve to rajas and then to sattva after which one can achieve liberation. Gita offers direction for people in all stages of evolution based on their interests and desires. But ultimately everyone is moving towards that absolute goal knowingly or unknowingly. That's why I mentioned in the video that the ultimate goal is liberation. But based on where we are at, we can use these teachings to achieve success in whatever we do.
@@adhvaitha absolutely! The Bhagavad Gita is a timeless guide that can serve as your north star no matter where you are in life. It acknowledges materialism as an integral part of our journey. Being stuck in material life is not the end; rather, experiencing success can often lead us to a deeper understanding of spirituality.
