Vedanta Treatise

My time at the Vedanta Treatise book studies on Sunday have been such a motivating experience. It is a time of introspection and connectedness, and really learning about Vedanta based on one of the most ancient spiritual texts ever in history, the Bhagavad Gita.

Sitting on the white carpeted floor of a clean room with only small frame of Ganesha adorning the plain white walls. The sound of the air filter buzzing and the feeling of unity, calmness, yet eagerness filling the room. It is a very purifying experience. Everyone waiting for the pauses between readings to hear the wise insight of Joseph the disciple of Swamiji. Beneath, feeling and allowing myself to see the love between the people in the room under the stoic faces displayed. Life is what we make of it. What we see is based on the ego (mind, body and intellect) and are desires and suffering. Everything is god, so be at peace.

I look forward to learning more...especially about meditation which seems to be a bigger push in Buddhism philosophy even for laymen in research.

Megan and Joseph. There seems to be a connection there that is being denied between those two.
