About this episode
Hinduism is a religion that flows from Nature and its principles.
It understands the limitations of human nature and suggests ways to realize the Self through and with the help of human senses,limited though they are.
The Universe is complex ,mysterious and billions of years old.
It is not obligated to reveal its secrets to a human being,whose life span,in the Universal scale of Time is not even the wink of eyelids.
Hindu Rishis,Seers, with the help of fundamental principles of Nature devised methods to realize Self.
Broadly speaking,the human psyche has two components,Reason and Emotion.
Ideally,discipling of either of these will lead to Self Realization.
However,in most of us a combination of Reason and Emotion rules the roost,though it is emotion that decides ultimately.Huma nature is a combination of three dispositions.
Sattva,calm,contented,knowlegeable,
Rajas,active,dynamic and restless and
Tamas,inactive,dull and morose.
It is rare to find one disposition,Guna, in isolation.
The three gunas are present in all of us in varying degrees.
And this composition changes every minute.
For details please read my article on Gunas.
And there are as many dispositions,Gunas as there are individuals.
So there is no standard procedure for all.
However,Rishis have traveled this path and left their experiences for us to have an idea.
Once an individual starts this process through a, Guru,he shall find his unique path and the Guru will help him identify the path.
So it is left to the individual to choose a path,either from the paths shown by the Rishis ,modify it to suit his disposition with the help of the Guru or follow a path intuitively felt and follow it with guidance from the Guru.
