“It is described in the Vedas that we are just very minute almost atomic size, the spirit soul. But although the same type of spirit soul, the same category of living force exists in a very educated person, a very foolish person, the same type of spirit soul is there. The living force is not of a different category.

Same category same basic potential but due to being developed or undeveloped in consciousness the full potential of the spirit soul comes out filtered by the extent of materialistic consciousness that we have. In other words in the pure liberated stage the spirit soul has his unlimited potential manifested.

At that time as described with this spirit soul is more powerful than millions of suns because even the sun is a material luminary which goes through creation, it stays for sometime and ultimately it is also destroyed as everything material goes through these changes. But the living force which is in the body, that is indestructible, that is immutable. “

Garuda Purana…I opened it. It’s said,

- If you want to please the Brahmanas, feed them Prasadam..(laughter)
- If you want to please the Kshatriyas, give them Power..
- If you want to please the Vaisyas, give them Profit..
- If you want to please the Sudras, give them Praise..
- If you want to please the children, give them Sweets..

Garuda Purana…now it’s a big hit in India…Garuda Purana..some movie! (laughter)

Vedas give us all kinds of good advise, but some of this advise is not relevant to our self realization. It’s just..it gives really good advise, thats useful. This is written by great sages, as they tell us all so many things.

But this Bhagavat Purana is very special because it tells us the most important things we need to know, about purpose of life, self-realization!
