217 - My Infinitesimal Humble Self & God as Infinite Supreme Self (Path of Perfection Chapter 3)

\u201cThe Supreme Self\u201d refers to K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a, the Supreme Lord. As explained before (nityo nity\u0101n\u0101\u1e41 cetana\u015b cetan\u0101n\u0101m), God is the supreme eternal, the supreme living entity, the Supreme Self. The purpose of the entire yoga system is to concentrate the mind on this Supreme Self. We are not the Supreme Self. That should be understood. The Supreme Self is God. This is dvaita-v\u0101da \u2013 duality. Duality means that God is different from me. He is supreme, and I am subordinate. He is great, and I am small. He is infinite, and I am infinitesimal. This is the relationship between ourselves and God as we should understand it. Because we are infinitesimal, we should concentrate our mind on the infinite Supreme Self. In order to do this, we should live alone, and \u201cliving alone\u201d means that we should not live with those who are not K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a conscious. Ideally, this means that one should live in a secluded place, like a forest or a jungle, but in this age such a secluded place is very difficult to find. Therefore \u201csecluded place\u201d refers to that place where God consciousness is taught. | read with us: biglink.to/pathofperfection & check out our website for the catalogue of all the books we\u2019ve read so far www.sravanamdiaries.com
