Description: It's a vicariousness that we attain, a vicarious experience where we become wise by hearing. Anecdote—when we were reading the Fourth Canto at Govardhan, I remember there was a brahmacārī there—he was at a crossroads or something. I heard him as I was walking in one of the breaks; he was talking to his spiritual master, and he goes, "What was I thinking?" Because he had just heard the Bhāgavatam, suddenly he exclaimed, 'What was I thinking?' In other words, Bhagavān had wrested him out of his stupor, where he had begun contemplating the material world again and suddenly, by the vicarious experience of hearing the Fourth Canto, he thought, 'Ooh, that was close. I almost got re-consumed.' So, it has that power for us to vicariously experience the cycle that takes place—the inevitable cycle. It's so predictable; it's such an old story, but nobody can get out of it because they don't have information outside the closed universe. 'Tad-vāg-visargo janatāgha-viplavo'—it's outside that normal creation. The material world is so predictable, down to the psychic movements that take place within the mind of a conditioned soul. ------------------------------------------------------------ To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://www.bbtacademic.com/books/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://thefourquestionsbook.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 ------------------------------------------------------------ Join us live on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FanTheSpark/ Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sound-bhakti/id1132423868 For the latest videos, subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@FanTheSpark For the latest in SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/fan-the-spark ------------------------------------------------------------ #spiritualawakening #soul #spiritualexperience #spiritualpurposeoflife #spiritualgrowthlessons #secretsofspirituality #vaisesikaprabhu #vaisesikadasa #vaisesikaprabhulectures #spirituality #bhaktiyoga #krishna #spiritualpurposeoflife #krishnaspirituality #spiritualusachannel #whybhaktiisimportant #whyspiritualityisimportant #vaisesika #spiritualconnection #thepowerofspiritualstudy #selfrealization #spirituallectures #spiritualstudy #spiritualquestions #spiritualquestionsanswered #trendingspiritualtopics #fanthespark #spiritualpowerofmeditation #spiritualteachersonyoutube #spiritualhabits #spiritualclarity #bhagavadgita #srimadbhagavatam #spiritualbeings #kttvg #keepthetranscendentalvibrationgoing #spiritualpurpose
