In this episode, The Bearded Mystic Podcast discusses the 3rd chapter of the Bhagavad Gita, specifically verses 40 - 43. Sri Krishna tells us what happens when those distorted desires hides within our senses, mind and intellect, therefore it ruins our relationship and connection with others, we fail to see our true self and we do actions that only cause harm and destruction. By following the niyamas, we will be able to control our bodily senses, therefore remove any desires that may affect our spiritual liberation. Sri Krishna tells us the ultimate process of what is superior and this is something we must adhere to in order to be successful. Sri Krishna guides us that we must let the mind be conquered by the real King of the self - which is Brahman/Pure Awareness.
