The Bhakratutumhahaya, the Zudya Godi Samabrarahrahah. Nirvignam Kurhur medevna, there were a starvakkariha. is a book of mankind's collected experience of and answers to life's most basic questions. Who I am? From where do I come? What is my purpose and destiny? And most practically, how do I find happiness? These podcasts originate in the lectures of Neil Bat, a disciple of Swami Chin Myyananda. They are presented here in 20 to 30 minute segments, each covering three of the Gita 701 verses. Welcome to Gita wisdom for daily living. We have been discussing chapter 15 15. In Purrathatam yoga, yoga of the supreme spirit. So far in this segment of Baghdad, which started from chapter 13, as we have seen, the one of the between the individual being and the supreme being. In this segment we started with Bhagwan explaining the filled in the knower, this body, this mind, this intellect is the field of experience. Then this world outside is the precrati which has the multiple of sense objects. These sense objects have three qualities. senses go out and make contact with this sense objects, we may get attached to the sense objects and develop a relationship. And these relationships will affect my mind. The mind is receiving this information. My mind is making the experience perceptible and my consciousness is the nover of the experience. So the consciousness is the nover of the experience. So the consciousness is the nover of the experience. So the consciousness is the nover of the experience. So the consciousness is the nover of the know the field is this body, and intellect, the individual being that I consider myself to be. But this relationships with the world of sense objects, as I contact them, I develop relationships with them. That creates my Sansar. And this Sansar is where Bhagwan started this chapter.

Ignorance about the cell is the cause for the causal body to come into existence. So the ignorance is beginning less. I do not know when that ignorance started. Knowledge about something I can pinpoint and say it started such and such point. They had knowledge about my architecture. I can say when I went back in school. I keep pinpoint a date and say before that he didn't know anything about architecture. So I can say when I started knowing about architecture, but I do not know when I did not know nuclear science, there is no beginning for my ignorance about nuclear science because I never learned it. So there is no date I can pinpoint the such and such date my ignorance about the nuclear science started. But I can say on such and set date my knowledge of architecture started. So, once I can say this ignorance, this ignorance about the nuclear is beginning less and therefore when this sensor started is beyond my perception beyond my understanding up above somewhere beyond my cognition is the root but the branches I see in this world the networking
