Episode notes
Manifest vs Unmanifest Devotion
- Devotees of both manifest and unmanifest forms can reach ultimate perfection if they have the right qualifications.
- The manifest form devotees worship constantly, while unmanifest form devotees exhibit control over senses and see equality in all beings.
Difficulty in Worshipping Unmanifest
- Worshipping the unmanifest Lord is more difficult due to attachment to the body and sensory pleasures.
- It's easier to focus on the manifest form until the mind is ready to identify without body attachment.
Offer Actions to the Supreme
- Renounce all actions by dedicating them to the Supreme Lord; change your attitude, not necessarily your actions.
- Identify yourself as a representative of the Supreme, not just a limited body-mind, to access supreme resources and power.
