Namaste, Sunil Rao here.
Namaste, Welcome to SAM-VAD (Together In Conversation), as we begin today ‘let us remember this about ‘Attention’. Our life experience would ultimately amount to whatever we had paid attention to. Attention: is important and most of the times we are so indifferent to it. It is as fundamental as food; and we go blundering about, seeking ways to assuage the craving, instead of learning how to provide ourselves with what we need, sensibly and calmly. We feed the hunger blindly. Once the mechanism is brought to our attention and we begin to study it, it is as if a veil has been stripped off ordinary life, and we become freer in our action and choices.
Today once again I will briefly talk about Srimad Bhagavatam , this is a summarized version of the Mahapurana with a concise translation in english by Srimati Kamala Subramaniam , first published in 1979 with successive reprints and is now available as an ebook and can be downloaded on your kindle.
I hope we remember what Shri Ghanshyamdas Birla said in his foreword to this translation, “While studying the Kathas – the stories of the great personalities and of the avataras and the parables – the reader as he reads the passages should amply digest them to know the true purport of the suggestions, the lessons and the indications behind them. These are not just embellishments. They have a deep meaning under the surface“.
