Listen Later

This episode covers the next part of chapter 12: “Master stressed on other occasions the futility...” to “...His ego is pleased, that he can grasp such erudition.” 
Summary: 
We discuss the importance of understanding sacred writings through careful and deliberate reading, rather than focusing on quote memorisation and dinner conversation topic building. The importance of truly imbibing Paramahansa Yogananda’s writings (“when I am gone, the teachings will be the Guru) is emphasised in this section along with integrating the knowledge into daily life. 
2:55 Summary of previous episode; 4:35 The futility of mere book learning; 24:05 The ancient method of learning; 39:33 The essence of wisdom and simplicity; 1:01:08 Looking ahead to the next episode. 
Homework for next episode— Read, absorb and make notes on the next part of chapter 12: “Men who were pridefully conscious of their wealth...” to “... ignorant men who are not seeking God, and wise men who are.”
