06. The Soul Beyond Matter – Part 1: Teachings from Bhagavad Gita Chapter 7.5 by Swami Mukundananda
Description
In this episode, Swamiji begins his exploration of Bhagavad Gita Chapter 7, Verse 5, where Shree Krishna reveals the existence of a higher energy—the soul (jiva)—distinct from the eightfold material nature. Listeners will discover how this divine spark animates the body, mind, and intellect, and why science, despite its advances, cannot grasp the essence of consciousness.
Swamiji explains that while the material world is governed by prakriti, it is the jiva—God’s superior energy—that experiences, chooses, and evolves. This episode invites seekers to reflect on their true identity beyond physical form and recognize the soul’s eternal connection with the Divine.
Building upon our previous episode about the divine blueprint of creation, this discussion deepens your understanding of the soul’s role in the cosmic design and sets the stage for a profound inquiry into spiritual selfhood. Tune in to enrich your journey through the Gita and elevate your quest for self-realization, divine connection, and inner awakening.
