Description: Kṛṣṇa is saying in that context that what is going to happen to you is you’re still going to be under the control of the same mode of nature, because that maneuver is not going to help you. That’s why He goes on to talk about the modes of nature and how to transcend them and so forth. As far as our prospects go, they’re excellent. First of all, as we’ve discussed before, we’re not even part of the material world, so we have that going for us. But for starters, you know you don't belong here in the first place, and there’s a very encouraging section of the Vedānta-sūtra that Prabhupāda quotes here in the Bhagavad-gītā, in which Vyāsadeva says that no one should consider that they’re permanently unqualified. (I’m paraphrasing, of course, because I’m talking about a sūtra.) No one can claim that they’re permanently unqualified. The logic he uses is that all these śāstras are telling us: "Rise. Rise above the modes of material nature." He said if the śāstras are telling you to do that, it means you can do it. Otherwise, the śāstras wouldn’t make any sense; it would be illogical. He said, therefore, you can do it. So we should take it from that, and from the fact that all the sages are saying you can rise, to take to the process. Prabhupāda says in a lecture it’s two things you need: one is knowledge and the other is practice. And if you put those together, you rise above. ----------------------------------------------------------- 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 ------------------------------------------------------------ #bhagavadgita #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
