Autobiography Chapter 30, Part 1: The Three Hermits – with full disclosure

This episode covers the start of chapter 30 to: “...but what gravitation and electricity are, no mortal knoweth.” Summary: As we start this heavy chapter and think about our expectations, the chapter explores miracles and religious perspectives, with particular focus on Leo Tolstoy's teachings and their connection to nonviolence. We review Tolstoy's views on Christianity and his similarities with Mahatma Gandhi, discussing his writings and experiences that challenged traditional religious practices. The discussion concluded with an exploration of scientific principles and the limitations of human understanding, touching on concepts like Maya and the mysteries of the universe. 0:00 Expectations from the chapter; 6:20 Leo Tolstoy and Nicholas Roerich footnote; 20:00 The (complete) three hermits story; 38:50 Duality in the physical creation; 38:50 Duality in the physical creation; 55:10 Maya; 1:06:30 Looking Ahead. Links discussed in the chapter:  Kingdom of God is within you - https://www.gutenberg.org/files/43302/43302-h/43302-h.htm Letter to a Hindu - https://www.gutenberg.org/files/7176/7176-h/7176-h.htm Three Hermits complete story – https://www.online-literature.com/tolstoy/2896/ Three hermits animation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aEu8i1FblCg Tolstoy’s twenty three tales: https://www.ccel.org/ccel/t/tolstoy/23_tales/cache/23_tales.pdf https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guglielmo_Marconi  Homework for next episode— Read, absorb and make notes on the next part of chapter 30 from: “To surmount maya was the task assigned to the human race...” to “...but that atomic energy is essentially mind-stuff". #autobiographyofayogi  #autobiographylinebyline  #paramahansayogananda Autobiography of a Yogi awake.minute Self-Realization Fellowship Yogoda Satsanga Society of India #SRF #YSS
