The Golden One - Episode 53. The Bhagavad-Gita – Krishna's Teaching (Part 1)

00:00:00.000 All right.

00:00:30.000 We're back.

00:00:30.900 The greatest podcast of all time.

00:00:33.640 A very warm welcome to everyone.

00:00:35.840 Perhaps a lot of new listeners as well.

00:00:38.160 Because I, starting now, I will post the first half of every episode publicly.

00:00:44.520 And then, of course, you can access the full episode on Gumroad, Subscribestar, and some other places as well I will announce later on.

00:00:52.000 But anyway, if you are new to this fine podcast, the format is usually that I talk about some recent events and geopolitics and politics and some training, health updates, everything like that.

00:01:05.000 And then, in the second half or later in the episode, I talk about the main topic of the episode.

00:01:13.000 So, that is at least how usually an episode works.

00:01:16.660 So, we'll get straight into it with a training update.

00:01:19.500 It's a quite brief training update.

00:01:21.720 I simply want to say that the Russian squat routine is one hell of a routine.

00:01:25.780 It's one hell of a schedule.

00:01:27.320 So, yeah.

00:01:27.980 I have continued on.

00:01:29.160 This is my second cycle of it now.

00:01:31.840 And, yeah.

00:01:32.540 Feels good.

00:01:33.140 But it also takes its toll on the body.

00:01:35.680 So, if you do something like this, you need to, you know, optimize your sleep and recovery and everything like that.

00:01:41.780 So, I haven't really trained much else except the squats.

00:01:45.600 So, focused only on that.

00:01:46.960 And then, I've trained some bench press as well.

00:01:49.220 My elbow feels all good again.

00:01:52.660 So, I will probably focus a bit on the bench press after I'm done with this cycle of Russian squat routine.

00:01:58.200 Now, as you've perhaps seen, also, I have created a new schedule.

00:02:01.660 It's based on how I trained back in the day during the Lats Bra days. 0.97

00:02:06.400 So, it's six days a week, full steam ahead.

00:02:09.380 And it's a very tough schedule.

00:02:10.700 So, if you want a tough schedule, then definitely you can check that out.

00:02:15.360 It's available on Gumroad.

00:02:17.060 And if you're not ready to train really, really hard, then it's not for you.

00:02:21.560 Because you need to, you know, be able to optimize your sleep and your diet and everything like that.

00:02:27.220 And you need to be very rigorous and disciplined when following the schedule.

00:02:31.340 So, it's a bit of an investment.

00:02:33.260 But if you do embark on it, if you do follow the schedule, if you do start on it, I can say that you will get some good gains indeed.

00:02:41.920 So, there are plenty of schedules online, plenty of schedules for free as well.

00:02:46.420 Both the Small of Junior and the Russian squat routine, they are accessible for free.

00:02:51.720 Just search for them and you shall find.

00:02:54.680 So, I would say the following.

00:02:56.000 That no matter which plan you follow, no matter which schedule you follow, you have to follow a plan at least.

00:03:01.540 You can't just go into the gym without having a concrete plan.

00:03:05.000 So, that is the best advice I can give.

00:03:07.100 And I know that perhaps some of you who are listening right now, you have decided that this is the year when you want to put on some mass and strength in the gym.

00:03:15.700 So, my best recommendation as a natural, i.e. that I don't take any steroids nor have I ever taken any steroids.

00:03:24.040 My best advice is to go into the gym with a plan so you know exactly what you're going to do when you get there.

00:03:30.580 So, that was the training update.

00:03:33.060 Moving on to, I'm not quite sure what to call it, but some sort of update.

00:03:38.800 A hit piece update, perhaps.

00:03:41.640 So, I'm sure you've seen already.

00:03:43.520 I was the subject of a hit piece by a radical left-wing extremist woman here in Sweden.

00:03:50.580 And she had actually tried to access pictures of our children as well, which made the entire thing a lot worse.

00:03:56.660 So, she showed her fake profiles in the actual trailer.

00:04:01.160 And then, Yulia, my wife, she noticed that she had a follow request from that very account.

00:04:06.340 So, a bit dodgy stuff going on for sure.

00:04:09.820 Anyway, I made a video on it as a response, as a quick response to that, to the claim that I am hateful or harmful.

00:04:16.180 And I will just restate what I said in the video, that I challenge anyone to actually find when or where I have ever said anything hateful or harmful.

00:04:25.500 Now, I thought to respond to a question that I didn't talk about in that particular video.

00:04:32.080 And that is the question, the following question.

00:04:35.040 Why would a Swedish woman, so an ethnically Swedish woman, attack someone who only wants to make life better for Swedish people, in particular Swedish women? 1.00

00:04:44.920 Because, as you know, the multicultural hell project, mass immigration of men from the third world, it has been an absolute catastrophe for white women, for Swedish women. 1.00

00:04:55.700 So, why would she do that? 0.99

00:04:57.380 And the absolutely simplest way to explain it is that she doesn't identify with her in-group, with her own group.

00:05:04.540 And we talked about this in the cultured thug episode, so my latest podcast episode, we talked about the liberal or leftist, their preference, so they identify more with others than with their own group.

00:05:18.080 They have a negative in-group preference, which is a very strange thing.

00:05:23.140 It's almost a psychological defect, evolutionary speaking.

00:05:27.740 So, you have any type of sane animal or human, they have a positive in-group preference that they, you know, they care about their family, first and foremost.

00:05:37.020 But these individuals, they actively dislike their own, so therefore she takes the side of the others.

00:05:44.000 So, she doesn't really care that, you know, other Swedish women are being raped or bombs are going off every day in Sweden. 0.95

00:05:50.260 Sweden, which, by the way, I'm not exaggerating now, it's basically what is going on.

00:05:54.680 You can follow my good friend, Dan Eriksson, on his Telegram channel, he updates every once in a while, you know, this is what's going on in Sweden today.

00:06:02.100 This is where bombs have gone off, this is where a shooting has happened.

00:06:05.320 So, Sweden, at the moment, I am very confident that we can save the situation.

00:06:10.680 I'm very confident, indeed, because there's so much talent in Sweden.

00:06:13.600 So many dedicated men and women that are working hard for the benefit of the Swedish people.

00:06:19.600 But, as it looks right now, it's a gangster's paradise and it's total chaos because the liberal government, which is quote-unquote conservative with the Sweden Democrats in a supporting role,

00:06:31.800 they don't have what it takes because they are still, you know, bound, their hands are bound by the shackles of liberalism.

00:06:39.600 So, they can't really do anything.

00:06:40.760 Now, the solution is, of course, a large-scale re-migration process that will solve the issue.

00:06:46.060 And until that happens, things like this, bombings, stabbings, shootings, etc., they will unfortunately continue.

00:06:53.160 So, therefore, someone looking at Sweden at the moment, they might, you know, see this Swedish woman attacking me and I'm only trying to make Sweden safe again.

00:07:03.460 And they ask, why on earth would she do that? 0.80

00:07:05.560 And that is, the fundamental psychological mechanism is that she doesn't identify with the Swedish group.

00:07:13.240 She identifies with the others.

00:07:15.340 So, therefore, she views me as the main evil in the world. 0.87

00:07:19.020 I'm the very epitome of a white man. 0.80

00:07:21.560 So, she's been taught in universities that I am to blame for all the world's evils, conveniently enough, ignoring all of the good things white men have brought to the world.

00:07:32.160 So, basically, every comfort we have right now is the result of the genius of white men, of course, being supported by societies as well. 0.85

00:07:40.340 So, any one man can't take credit for an invention because, you know, he has been in need of the farmer supplying food for him and the tailor supplying clothes for him, whatever it might be.

00:07:52.400 So, an entire society can be given credit for the invention of one genius. 0.79

00:07:58.320 So, anyway, that is the psychology that they simply don't like white people.

00:08:03.600 She doesn't like her own nation. 0.94

00:08:05.960 She doesn't like her own people. 0.97

00:08:07.160 She doesn't like Swedes. 0.99

00:08:08.500 And then she goes to university and she's being told by her professors that her dislike is completely rational because, after all, this is the big devil you're talking about.

00:08:18.780 And then she sees me exemplifying everything like that and she's projecting all of her hatred on me and attacks me.

00:08:25.600 So, that can explain this very, very strange behavior.

00:08:29.600 But, yeah, it is what it is.

00:08:31.540 So, since we are on the topic, I can also respond to a question that comes up every once in a while.

00:08:37.480 So, this is not as serious, but it's still something that is somewhat related.

00:08:41.940 And that is, I see every once in a while, people ask, why are so many gingers converting to Islam?

00:08:48.940 And the reason is quite simple. 1.00

00:08:51.020 It's because there are stupid and evil people in British schools who bully gingers. 1.00

00:08:57.100 So, the gingers, they don't feel at home in their own nation. 1.00

00:09:00.820 They feel like outsiders because they have been picked on since they were small.

00:09:05.160 So, therefore, they have a harder time identifying with the majority culture.

00:09:10.700 So, the majority British culture, so they find a belonging somewhere else. 1.00

00:09:14.820 In Islam, for example.

00:09:16.060 And the prophet Muhammad, he is said to have been a ginger himself.

00:09:19.740 So, being ginger among Muslims, it's a quite popular thing.

00:09:23.540 So, you have those two aspects of it.

00:09:26.240 And the primary aspect is, of course, that if you have felt like an outsider in your own country, it's quite natural that you seek a belonging in a different group.

00:09:35.760 So, I understand completely if someone would want to convert to Islam, if they are in a cosmopolitan, rootless society, and then you're being offered a community, it's a perfectly human impulse to go for it. 0.96

00:09:48.580 That is not to say that I condone converting to Islam in any way.

00:09:52.200 I definitely don't think you should do it, but it's important for us to understand why people are drawn to it so we can better our own society.

00:10:00.720 So, we know that, yes, our own society, it's not good enough at the moment.

00:10:04.480 So, therefore, people are drawn to other cultures, other religions.

00:10:09.480 And I will just say the following that we're going to talk about religion in this episode.

00:10:13.420 So, I will say the following that I understand completely that if you have the choice between atheism and whichever religion it might be,

00:10:21.000 I understand completely that you choose whichever religion it might be.

00:10:24.800 It can be Islam, even.

00:10:26.320 So, that is my own take, because atheism, it's not something you want to engage in.

00:10:31.420 It's not something that is healthy for you, and it's not something that we can have as a reigning ideology in a society.

00:10:38.580 We need a religion, preferably European paganism, but anything is better than atheism, at least.

00:10:44.660 So, some basic psychology about group belonging, about favoring other groups, about having a vendetta against your own group, feeling like an outsider in your own society.

00:10:56.460 And this can have, you know, catastrophic consequences, especially when we're talking about bullying.

00:11:01.560 You can look at someone like Bill Gates.

00:11:03.560 He was bullied by vicious people when he was small, and that resulted in him being a bit angry at his own society.

00:11:12.060 So, imagine instead if people had been nice to him, and if he now worked for the betterment of European civilization.

00:11:19.140 I say this as a great fan of Microsoft, but I also know that Bill Gates has been up to some nefarious activities,

00:11:25.980 and I understand also that he might carry some trauma from his childhood,

00:11:29.920 and that trauma might have influenced him in becoming less friendly towards his fellow humans.

00:11:38.680 So, on a personal note, I have been treated well my entire life, so therefore it's easier for me to be kind to others.

00:11:45.580 I can't really relate to anyone who's been mistreated for most of their lives.

00:11:49.380 I can only suppose, I can only, you know, understand that it creates distrust towards other humans.

00:11:56.600 So, yeah, be kind to others, and they will be kind when they grow up, like I am.

00:12:01.380 So, anyway, that all being said, moving on to the next update.

00:12:05.500 Now, I will of course say that since becoming a public figure, since becoming a metapolitical actor,

00:12:17.620 I have of course received my fair share of viciousness and the like,

00:12:23.400 but it's part and parcel of being a public figure, so it just, yeah, it comes with the territory,

00:12:29.060 and the support and love and admiration I've gotten over all of these years,

00:12:33.240 it's like 99% against 1%, so the balance is heavily in my favor,

00:12:39.540 and even my detractors, they've always been quite kind to me.

00:12:43.520 I will read a little passage here.

00:12:46.060 So, this is some sort of liberal journalist who talks about me,

00:12:50.680 and he says, he looks like someone put Brad Pitt's head onto the Hulk's body.

00:12:55.540 Now, I will be a bit humble and say that I am nowhere near as handsome as Brad Pitt,

00:13:01.700 but I take any compliment I can get, so thank you very much for that.

00:13:05.980 It warmed my heart, dear liberal journalist.

00:13:09.040 So, yeah, I've gotten quite a bit of this over the years as well,

00:13:12.380 so that makes it easier for me to be positive and, you know, kind and compassionate to others.

00:13:18.700 So, it's sort of a positive feedback loop that I'm kind and positive,

00:13:22.840 and then people like me, so therefore I get even kinder and more positive,

00:13:26.200 and I can always have a high energy level.

00:13:28.860 And on the flip side, you can have a resentful, hateful, spiteful individual.

00:13:34.360 Dostoevsky writes quite well about it in Notes from Underground,

00:13:38.180 which is a book I can highly recommend.

00:13:40.240 It's quite short as well, so if you don't want to read,

00:13:43.420 if you don't want to push through Crime and Punishment,

00:13:46.940 you can start with Notes from Underground,

00:13:49.200 and then you will get a good explanation of the psyche of the lower.

00:13:52.940 So, the negative feedback loop you can have in this case would be

00:13:57.660 if someone is negative and spiteful, and then, you know, others pick up on it,

00:14:01.880 and they might not treat him or her well because he's an unpleasant individual,

00:14:06.500 so therefore he gets even more resentful and hateful and spiteful,

00:14:09.300 and it's just a downward spiral of negativity.

00:14:13.740 Anyway, that all being said, moving on to the next update,

00:14:17.460 which is a social media update.

00:14:19.440 I have created a new YouTube channel.

00:14:22.680 I thought to give this a go this year.

00:14:25.100 So, essentially, I will post videos of me art maxing,

00:14:29.960 so probably primarily painting Warhammer,

00:14:32.860 the occasional calligraphy, and the occasional normal art as well,

00:14:36.380 so, you know, me painting on a canvas.

00:14:38.780 Now, I will straight up say that I am not the most talented artist.

00:14:42.660 I am just a sensitive poet giving it a go,

00:14:47.560 and the reason for me creating that channel is that I thought,

00:14:51.000 since I am painting already,

00:14:52.780 I might as well make content out of it for cozy maxing.

00:14:56.040 So, if someone likes to watch that to, you know, occupy their minds,

00:15:00.380 or just to listen to my voice and see me paint, or something like that,

00:15:04.440 it can be a good idea.

00:15:06.460 Now then, someone might ask,

00:15:07.980 why on earth are you, in this crucial moment in time,

00:15:11.560 why are you focusing on calligraphy,

00:15:14.840 or why are you painting Warhammer?

00:15:16.940 And yes, this is something I've said before.

00:15:19.040 I'll say it again because it's of utmost importance,

00:15:21.460 and this goes out to anyone who's involved in metapolitics,

00:15:25.760 or in politics, or in any way,

00:15:27.680 if you work for the great cause of European civilization,

00:15:32.620 you need to pace yourself.

00:15:34.140 I've seen this so many times,

00:15:36.040 so many individuals over all of these years.

00:15:38.240 They go full steam ahead for a year or two, or even three,

00:15:41.260 and then they are exhausted,

00:15:42.520 because they don't know how to replenish their batteries.

00:15:45.640 So, you need something.

00:15:47.220 For the majority of individuals, including myself,

00:15:50.620 you need something to find joy in.

00:15:53.420 You can't only look at the state of European civilization,

00:15:56.940 especially if you are prone to doom-scrolling.

00:16:00.280 So, if you're only ever looking at the latest news,

00:16:03.120 again, if you're only looking at the latest weather forecast,

00:16:07.140 but instead of weather,

00:16:08.080 it's about bombs or shootings going off in Sweden,

00:16:10.440 if you only ever look at that,

00:16:12.040 you will be...

00:16:13.380 You know, it's not good for your psyche,

00:16:15.200 to put it mildly.

00:16:16.180 So, you need something else to focus on.

00:16:18.500 So, therefore, I know gaming is quite popular

00:16:20.660 just to get your mind off,

00:16:22.600 you know, to focus on something else.

00:16:25.020 And, in my case, it's painting.

00:16:27.100 So, painting Warhammer,

00:16:27.940 it's sort of like meditation for me.

00:16:29.520 So, I need to do it in order for me to push through

00:16:31.760 in the long run.

00:16:32.900 And, you know, I have my good track record

00:16:34.720 over 10 years' time,

00:16:36.360 so I can actually point to it as a formula for success

00:16:40.220 if you want to stay at it for a long time.

00:16:43.640 You need something else to focus on as well.

00:16:46.180 So, you can look at something like this hit piece.

00:16:48.460 You know, I'm quite hardened by this stage,

00:16:50.640 but even so, not a nice thing at all,

00:16:53.540 not a pleasant thing.

00:16:54.540 So, therefore, it can be a bit stressful,

00:16:56.900 and you can have a lot of stress otherwise as well.

00:16:58.820 It's been non-stop stress for many years now.

00:17:01.980 So, I need to focus my mind actively on something else.

00:17:06.060 So, instead of thinking about all of these negative things,

00:17:08.340 I can think of how I will paint this Lord of the Rings Rohirrim soldiers, 1.00

00:17:14.100 or how I will paint this high elf lord,

00:17:16.640 or I will find an epic quote to write some calligraphy to.

00:17:21.180 So, you know, you focus on something else.

00:17:23.780 And then, also, you have the added benefit

00:17:26.080 when you do any sort of creative work.

00:17:28.940 So, yeah, painting something.

00:17:30.640 It's nice.

00:17:31.480 It feels good.

00:17:32.280 And especially since I am, you know,

00:17:33.980 everything I do is creative,

00:17:35.680 from making videos to designing clothes,

00:17:38.980 or anything like that.

00:17:40.080 Everything is creative,

00:17:40.980 and all creative endeavors,

00:17:43.020 they sort of give positive energy to each other.

00:17:46.340 So, it's a bit like training.

00:17:47.720 You know, you can train your deadlift strength,

00:17:51.440 and that will be good for basically any other athletic performance.

00:17:55.140 So, it can translate really well into MMA,

00:17:58.020 especially when it comes to, you know,

00:17:59.780 the wrestling part of it.

00:18:01.140 Or you can train your hand coordination,

00:18:03.540 and that will be good for a lot of things as well.

00:18:06.400 Funnily enough, hand coordination is good for both

00:18:08.800 boxing and calligraphy and painting warhammer.

00:18:11.320 So, many of these things, they go into each other.

00:18:14.320 So, anyway, long story short,

00:18:16.040 I've created that channel.

00:18:17.460 I do paint already,

00:18:18.760 so I might as well make content out of it.

00:18:20.920 And, yeah, it doesn't take time away

00:18:23.560 from the metapolitical content.

00:18:25.520 I aim to make a lot of videos this year,

00:18:27.800 just keep pushing the overtone window.

00:18:30.040 And, again, to just restate my main point,

00:18:32.700 is that I also do need to paint Warhammer

00:18:36.860 or something similar to be able to keep grinding

00:18:40.340 in the long run.

00:18:41.580 And I would suggest that if you are in this situation as well,

00:18:44.300 if you are politically active,

00:18:45.840 and if you are under a lot of pressure,

00:18:48.000 do have something that you can, you know,

00:18:50.060 escape into every once in a while

00:18:51.840 so you can keep going.

00:18:53.460 So, stay tuned for the first video

00:18:56.000 and hopefully many videos to come on that channel.

00:18:59.900 And you can find it at

00:19:00.960 Golden Lion Art.

00:19:03.240 And you can find it on Instagram as well.

00:19:11.560 Now, moving on to a last update

00:19:14.000 before we get into the main topic of the episode.

00:19:17.400 So, I will comment on Trump's first days in power

00:19:23.160 later on when we can actually see

00:19:25.540 some more of the things he has done.

00:19:27.940 Of course, I made a video on his comments

00:19:30.140 about annexing Greenland

00:19:31.440 and my response was simply to say

00:19:33.860 that Francis Fukuyama was wrong.

00:19:36.680 We have not reached the end of history.

00:19:39.180 History keeps on marching

00:19:41.240 and Trump, he shows this with full clarity.

00:19:45.180 So, when he says that

00:19:46.120 he wants to annex the Panama Canal,

00:19:48.580 which is, you know,

00:19:49.380 a completely normal thing for him to do

00:19:51.700 if you look at how connected

00:19:53.640 the globe is in terms of trade at the moment,

00:19:56.620 the Panama Canal is a goldmine

00:19:58.320 in terms of logistics.

00:20:00.080 So, to use a historical example here,

00:20:03.320 so I'm switching focus a bit,

00:20:04.760 but it will make sense.

00:20:06.020 So, bear with me as we travel back in time

00:20:08.340 and look at the greatest rivalry of all time.

00:20:12.680 Well, one of the greatest rivalries of all time.

00:20:15.080 The French-English one is also up there

00:20:17.960 in terms of epic rivalries.

00:20:20.080 But anyway, Sweden and Denmark

00:20:21.600 fought for many, many centuries.

00:20:25.120 And if you look at a map of Denmark

00:20:27.400 and southern Sweden,

00:20:28.560 you have Köpenhamn, Copenhagen on one side

00:20:31.380 and you have Malmö on the other side.

00:20:33.900 So, back in the day,

00:20:35.160 the Dutch who had trading interests

00:20:38.120 in the Baltic Sea,

00:20:39.500 they did not want either power

00:20:41.360 to own both sides of the straits

00:20:44.200 because then they could, of course,

00:20:45.840 impose tolls and customs

00:20:47.500 and stuff like that.

00:20:48.520 So, they actually gave aid

00:20:49.660 to whichever side

00:20:51.280 that enabled the straits

00:20:53.760 to be not controlled by any single entity.

00:20:56.480 So, it wasn't Danish hands

00:20:58.340 for many centuries

00:21:00.000 until Sweden conquered all of Scania. 0.56

00:21:02.800 I might return to it in another episode.

00:21:05.160 I'm quite interested

00:21:06.120 in the Hanseatic League

00:21:07.560 and, of course, the Middle Ages

00:21:09.020 as we all are.

00:21:10.120 I can only suppose

00:21:11.460 that all of my gentle listeners

00:21:13.020 are enthusiasts of the Middle Ages.

00:21:16.520 But anyway,

00:21:17.060 that is just an example

00:21:18.320 to show that

00:21:19.160 it is of paramount importance

00:21:20.960 to control

00:21:21.760 these logistically

00:21:23.900 important locations.

00:21:26.000 Same thing with the Suez Canal

00:21:27.640 or, in this case,

00:21:29.420 the Panama Canal.

00:21:31.300 But anyway,

00:21:31.860 history keeps on going

00:21:32.980 and this also leads us

00:21:34.080 into a somewhat related thing.

00:21:36.820 I'm not gonna disgust you all

00:21:38.280 by talking about OnlyFans too much.

00:21:40.480 I'm just gonna say that

00:21:41.460 were it up to me,

00:21:42.760 I would immediately ban OnlyFans.

00:21:44.780 I would ban all kinds of pornography.

00:21:47.800 Now, as you might have seen

00:21:49.540 if you follow me on X,

00:21:51.180 which I can only suppose that you do,

00:21:53.020 I shared a video

00:21:55.060 from Daily Turkic

00:21:57.300 and the post

00:21:58.540 says the following

00:22:00.000 An OnlyFans creator in Turkey

00:22:03.040 has been arrested

00:22:03.800 after announcing plans

00:22:05.060 to be with 100 men

00:22:06.380 in a single day.

00:22:08.480 And then the video itself

00:22:10.260 is some policemen

00:22:12.400 carrying away

00:22:13.720 some sort of woman there. 0.99

00:22:16.860 And I reposted saying

00:22:18.280 The Ottoman Empire

00:22:19.360 may be an ancestral enemy,

00:22:21.120 but they have my respect here.

00:22:23.020 And, of course,

00:22:24.300 I mean that the Ottoman Empire 0.66

00:22:25.620 is an ancestral enemy

00:22:26.840 to Europe as a whole.

00:22:29.520 And don't get me wrong here,

00:22:30.940 when I praise Turkey

00:22:32.460 in any conflict with Greece,

00:22:34.600 I am 100% on the Greek side.

00:22:37.700 But I also want to give credit

00:22:39.300 where credit is due.

00:22:40.780 So therefore, I say yes.

00:22:42.860 I tip my hat

00:22:44.180 in respect to

00:22:45.100 the Turkish government

00:22:47.060 for stepping in.

00:22:49.320 Because if you are serious

00:22:50.500 about yourself,

00:22:51.740 if you are a serious player

00:22:53.380 in the game of history,

00:22:55.640 the great game of power,

00:22:57.780 the game of survival,

00:22:59.800 then you can absolutely

00:23:01.180 not accept

00:23:02.240 this kind of degeneracy

00:23:04.280 in a nation.

00:23:05.840 So a nation

00:23:06.880 that accepts

00:23:07.840 this kind of behavior,

00:23:09.020 a woman sleeping

00:23:09.840 with 100 men

00:23:10.960 in a day

00:23:11.580 or in a lifetime,

00:23:13.140 it's not something

00:23:14.380 that can ever be accepted.

00:23:15.980 If you do,

00:23:16.680 then you are

00:23:17.660 on the ropes,

00:23:18.860 down for the counting,

00:23:19.820 and your nation

00:23:21.160 probably doesn't have

00:23:22.480 all too long

00:23:23.220 to live.

00:23:24.380 So it's a sign

00:23:25.140 of a dying nation

00:23:27.060 that you accept

00:23:27.960 this kind of

00:23:29.060 vile behavior.

00:23:30.460 So on a very personal level,

00:23:32.000 you can also,

00:23:32.800 as a man,

00:23:33.700 you can look at something

00:23:34.820 like this,

00:23:35.360 a woman announcing

00:23:36.200 this kind of thing.

00:23:37.540 And if you don't feel

00:23:39.080 a great level of disgust,

00:23:41.460 something is probably wrong

00:23:42.860 with your very essence.

00:23:45.140 So you might be plagued

00:23:46.520 by nihilism.

00:23:47.860 Again, atheism.

00:23:48.880 It can be a wide variety

00:23:50.760 of factors,

00:23:51.520 but it's the same thing

00:23:52.600 as a dying animal.

00:23:55.080 And if some vicious individual

00:23:56.760 goes up to prod the animal

00:23:58.540 and the animal

00:23:59.060 doesn't really respond,

00:24:00.420 it's a sign that the animal

00:24:01.860 is very sick.

00:24:03.200 And the same thing here.

00:24:04.140 If a man doesn't react

00:24:05.740 with disgust

00:24:06.840 towards something like this,

00:24:08.060 it's a sign that

00:24:08.960 the man is dying

00:24:10.480 spiritually.

00:24:11.760 And the same thing

00:24:12.640 on a societal level.

00:24:14.700 If a nation accepts

00:24:16.220 this kind of degeneracy,

00:24:18.360 they are rapidly approaching

00:24:21.420 the end of their life.

00:24:23.560 And something to keep in mind

00:24:24.600 is that if you look at history,

00:24:26.600 so many cultures,

00:24:27.840 so many nations,

00:24:28.820 they have met their end.

00:24:30.920 So it's not a given

00:24:32.320 that your own nation

00:24:33.800 will survive.

00:24:34.780 And I'm especially looking

00:24:35.880 at England,

00:24:36.860 now merry old England,

00:24:38.780 one of the most glorious

00:24:39.740 entities to ever exist

00:24:41.260 in human history.

00:24:42.580 One of the most glorious nations

00:24:43.900 to ever exist.

00:24:45.380 I always defend

00:24:46.520 the good name of England

00:24:48.000 for a wide variety of reasons.

00:24:50.840 First and foremost,

00:24:51.640 because everything

00:24:53.240 that is being said

00:24:54.220 against England

00:24:55.020 is usually being said

00:24:56.200 against Sweden as well.

00:24:57.800 So I'm sort of defending Sweden

00:24:59.220 as well when I defend England.

00:25:00.680 But then also,

00:25:01.700 a lot of different other reasons.

00:25:03.660 One of many

00:25:04.660 is that I have gained

00:25:05.880 so much joy

00:25:06.900 and inspiration

00:25:07.660 from Tolkien

00:25:08.960 over all of these years.

00:25:10.000 So I feel a level of loyalty

00:25:12.220 to the culture

00:25:13.480 that gave birth 0.79

00:25:14.500 to that particular genius.

00:25:16.880 And then Warhammer,

00:25:17.740 of course, as well.

00:25:18.800 But anyway,

00:25:19.660 my main point is that

00:25:21.260 Turkey,

00:25:22.020 they are still serious

00:25:22.980 about being

00:25:24.300 a respectable nation

00:25:25.320 and that they arrest

00:25:26.960 this individual

00:25:27.960 who announced

00:25:28.760 that she would sleep

00:25:29.660 with a hundred men

00:25:30.480 in a day.

00:25:31.260 That is a sign

00:25:32.120 that they are indeed

00:25:33.060 serious about themselves.

00:25:34.880 They have self-respect,

00:25:36.260 which is something

00:25:37.780 Western nations

00:25:38.680 haven't had for a long time

00:25:40.740 and we can only work

00:25:41.620 towards getting it back.

00:25:43.240 Otherwise,

00:25:43.740 we will die

00:25:45.660 as a civilization.

00:25:47.060 It's just how it is.

00:25:48.320 So we need to keep pushing.

00:25:49.520 We need to keep

00:25:50.160 working hard

00:25:51.180 to present

00:25:51.760 our beautiful

00:25:52.600 life-affirming vision

00:25:54.460 for the future.

00:25:56.260 So,

00:25:56.780 a lot more can be said

00:25:57.780 about all of this.

00:25:58.960 But yeah,

00:25:59.620 we will check back in

00:26:00.580 next month

00:26:01.920 with an update

00:26:03.560 to see what

00:26:04.300 good old Trump

00:26:05.620 has been up to.

00:26:06.780 So,

00:26:07.040 interesting stuff

00:26:08.020 for sure

00:26:08.660 and as I've said before,

00:26:10.140 we live in

00:26:10.820 very exciting times.

00:26:12.900 So,

00:26:13.180 a lot to

00:26:13.960 keep our eyes on

00:26:15.640 and yeah,

00:26:16.580 take heart everyone.

00:26:17.640 We should be white-pilled 0.65

00:26:18.640 because the world

00:26:19.500 is changing

00:26:20.260 and those who have

00:26:21.660 the most willpower

00:26:22.840 will emerge victorious.

00:26:25.340 So,

00:26:25.820 again,

00:26:26.160 we need to keep pushing.

00:26:27.560 Now,

00:26:27.960 that all being said,

00:26:29.040 we need to discuss

00:26:30.340 the great holy text,

00:26:32.380 the Bhagavad Gita.

00:26:33.860 Now,

00:26:34.120 before doing so,

00:26:35.220 I will just

00:26:36.000 ever so briefly

00:26:36.940 explain the

00:26:38.320 biocultural background

00:26:40.420 of it all.

00:26:41.680 So,

00:26:42.180 when I read

00:26:42.680 the Bhagavad Gita,

00:26:43.640 I'm not doing it

00:26:44.400 because I am

00:26:45.520 looking at

00:26:46.760 another culture's 0.87

00:26:48.460 holy texts

00:26:49.300 to replace my own.

00:26:50.760 Instead,

00:26:51.380 I am actually

00:26:51.940 looking at it

00:26:52.760 to gain a deeper

00:26:54.300 understanding

00:26:54.880 of our own

00:26:56.100 religious heritage

00:26:57.900 because the

00:26:59.060 Bhagavad Gita

00:26:59.780 is an Aryan text

00:27:01.140 and this actually

00:27:02.000 becomes quite apparent

00:27:03.180 when you read it.

00:27:04.520 It feels quite

00:27:05.540 familiar.

00:27:06.740 Now,

00:27:07.120 I will say

00:27:07.740 the following

00:27:08.520 that I haven't

00:27:09.320 finished it.

00:27:09.920 I've read half of it

00:27:10.920 but that is enough

00:27:12.060 to at least

00:27:12.960 comment on it.

00:27:14.180 So,

00:27:14.580 it's enough

00:27:15.140 for me to

00:27:16.000 comment on

00:27:16.660 and then

00:27:17.140 maybe if I deem it

00:27:18.440 necessary,

00:27:19.220 I will comment on

00:27:20.360 the second half

00:27:21.240 of it in

00:27:21.960 a different podcast

00:27:23.120 episode or a video

00:27:24.220 or a book review

00:27:25.180 or whatever it might be.

00:27:26.880 but yeah,

00:27:28.020 I also want to say

00:27:28.900 the following

00:27:29.280 that there are

00:27:30.060 many out there

00:27:31.000 who are literal

00:27:32.400 scholars of the

00:27:33.460 Bhagavad Gita

00:27:34.080 who, you know,

00:27:35.100 can give you a more

00:27:35.840 in-depth explanation

00:27:37.140 of it.

00:27:37.980 So,

00:27:38.320 this is just my

00:27:39.140 take on it.

00:27:39.940 These are just

00:27:40.680 my thoughts

00:27:41.400 as a European

00:27:42.980 pagan,

00:27:43.660 primarily a

00:27:44.500 Germanic pagan.

00:27:45.940 So,

00:27:46.400 yeah,

00:27:46.980 that is my

00:27:47.600 disclaimer before

00:27:48.920 talking about it.

00:27:49.940 But anyway,

00:27:50.600 a quick

00:27:51.220 biocultural background

00:27:52.580 to it.

00:27:53.300 You have

00:27:53.820 the Corded Ware

00:27:54.920 culture

00:27:55.380 that I am

00:27:56.400 very fond

00:27:57.140 of talking about

00:27:58.200 because it's

00:27:58.880 probably the

00:28:00.360 most important

00:28:01.160 culture in

00:28:02.120 human history.

00:28:03.480 So,

00:28:03.860 from the

00:28:04.640 Corded Ware

00:28:05.200 culture,

00:28:05.980 from the

00:28:06.360 wellspring

00:28:07.140 of Corded Ware

00:28:08.340 culture,

00:28:09.280 came most

00:28:10.180 of the

00:28:11.000 later European

00:28:12.220 cultures that

00:28:13.120 you're all

00:28:13.480 familiar with.

00:28:14.580 So,

00:28:15.240 the Romans,

00:28:16.600 the Germanics,

00:28:17.440 the Celtics,

00:28:18.080 the Slavics,

00:28:18.780 and so on.

00:28:20.240 And not only

00:28:20.980 that,

00:28:21.540 but they

00:28:22.040 expanded eastwards.

00:28:23.360 They expanded

00:28:24.280 back eastwards

00:28:25.100 because they

00:28:25.720 originally came

00:28:26.940 from the steppe

00:28:27.840 of Ukraine,

00:28:28.840 and then they

00:28:29.440 mixed with

00:28:30.240 old Europe,

00:28:31.240 so the early

00:28:31.860 European farmers

00:28:32.680 in Europe.

00:28:33.900 So,

00:28:34.280 Germany,

00:28:35.020 Poland,

00:28:35.620 so Central

00:28:36.080 Europe,

00:28:36.800 and that mix

00:28:37.560 then between

00:28:38.160 the western

00:28:39.200 steppe herders

00:28:40.100 or Proto-Indo

00:28:41.100 Europeans

00:28:41.420 and the early

00:28:42.860 European farmers

00:28:43.960 that created

00:28:45.400 the Corded Ware

00:28:46.180 culture.

00:28:46.720 So,

00:28:46.860 this is also

00:28:47.500 important to

00:28:48.200 keep in mind

00:28:48.680 when we're

00:28:49.040 talking about

00:28:49.720 steppe herders

00:28:50.900 and Proto-Indo

00:28:51.840 Europeans

00:28:52.260 and Aryans

00:28:53.080 and everything

00:28:53.520 like that

00:28:54.060 is that

00:28:55.060 the potent

00:28:56.160 mix,

00:28:56.980 it's a mix

00:28:57.900 between early

00:28:58.800 European farmers,

00:28:59.760 so don't think

00:29:00.660 that these early

00:29:01.520 European farmers

00:29:02.340 were some 0.99

00:29:03.260 dorks that we 0.99

00:29:04.240 shouldn't be 0.98

00:29:04.620 proud of.

00:29:05.360 They were

00:29:05.800 highly advanced,

00:29:06.820 very intelligent,

00:29:08.100 many of the

00:29:08.920 first inventions

00:29:09.680 were actually

00:29:10.640 in Europe first,

00:29:11.920 such as the

00:29:12.440 wheel.

00:29:12.920 So,

00:29:13.240 the early

00:29:13.640 European farmers,

00:29:14.900 very potent

00:29:15.680 culture,

00:29:16.280 and they are

00:29:16.620 still part of

00:29:17.440 our blood

00:29:17.820 today,

00:29:18.260 no matter where

00:29:18.900 you are from

00:29:19.420 in Europe.

00:29:19.900 So,

00:29:20.820 we are a mix

00:29:21.460 of these

00:29:22.560 Proto-Indo

00:29:23.620 Europeans

00:29:24.060 or Western

00:29:24.900 steppe herders

00:29:25.600 or Aryans 0.53

00:29:26.240 or whatever

00:29:26.760 you want to

00:29:27.280 call them

00:29:27.740 and the

00:29:28.900 early European

00:29:29.960 farmers,

00:29:30.860 and they in

00:29:31.480 turn are a mix

00:29:32.300 of Western

00:29:33.000 hunter-gatherers

00:29:33.980 and Anatolian

00:29:35.700 Neolithic 0.51

00:29:36.240 farmers.

00:29:37.300 So,

00:29:37.720 this mix

00:29:38.160 at least

00:29:38.600 resulted in

00:29:39.440 the Corded Ware

00:29:40.120 culture,

00:29:40.840 and these guys,

00:29:41.820 these High

00:29:42.200 Thumos guys,

00:29:43.220 they expanded

00:29:43.880 eastwards

00:29:44.460 and eventually

00:29:45.200 came to

00:29:45.800 both Iran

00:29:46.620 and India,

00:29:47.460 and that's

00:29:47.780 why you can

00:29:48.520 see some

00:29:48.960 Iranians,

00:29:49.720 they look

00:29:50.180 quite white

00:29:50.880 indeed,

00:29:51.460 and their

00:29:52.120 religion,

00:29:53.000 so their

00:29:53.460 pre-Islamic 0.99

00:29:54.500 religion,

00:29:55.040 is an

00:29:55.820 Aryan 0.68

00:29:56.200 religion.

00:29:57.160 Same thing

00:29:57.820 with Vedic

00:29:59.000 India,

00:29:59.540 and that

00:29:59.840 brings us

00:30:00.300 to the

00:30:00.680 Bhagavad Gita.

00:30:01.840 So,

00:30:02.480 you can trace

00:30:03.180 the origins

00:30:03.900 of it

00:30:04.560 to Europe,

00:30:05.940 actually.

00:30:06.440 Then,

00:30:06.700 of course,

00:30:07.060 I will be

00:30:07.480 completely honest

00:30:08.260 and say that

00:30:08.840 yes,

00:30:09.300 it is heavy

00:30:10.000 influenced by

00:30:10.900 the local

00:30:12.380 Indian

00:30:13.140 religious

00:30:14.280 attitudes.

00:30:15.000 Of course

00:30:15.360 it is,

00:30:16.040 all religions

00:30:16.900 develop and

00:30:17.900 take on

00:30:18.560 a local

00:30:19.980 flavor,

00:30:21.240 so that's

00:30:21.800 also why

00:30:22.200 you have

00:30:22.560 the Roman

00:30:23.540 religion and

00:30:24.260 the Germanic

00:30:25.040 religion,

00:30:25.520 they aren't

00:30:26.040 quite the

00:30:26.900 same,

00:30:27.280 they weren't

00:30:27.780 the same

00:30:28.200 2000 years

00:30:28.980 ago.

00:30:29.680 A good

00:30:29.980 example of

00:30:30.460 this is

00:30:30.840 that the

00:30:31.860 Romans didn't 0.99

00:30:32.820 know how

00:30:33.300 to translate

00:30:34.060 Odin,

00:30:34.760 they translated

00:30:35.420 him into

00:30:35.960 Mercury,

00:30:36.580 but of course

00:30:37.020 Odin is the

00:30:37.820 king of the

00:30:38.240 gods in the

00:30:38.940 Germanic

00:30:39.400 pantheon,

00:30:40.080 and Mercury

00:30:40.920 or Hermes,

00:30:41.720 he is a

00:30:42.940 messenger,

00:30:43.680 a powerful

00:30:44.320 god in his

00:30:44.940 own right,

00:30:45.480 but not the

00:30:46.180 king of the

00:30:46.600 gods,

00:30:47.240 that is Zeus

00:30:48.200 or Jupiter,

00:30:49.760 to use the

00:30:50.480 Roman name.

00:30:51.800 So,

00:30:52.360 all of this

00:30:52.820 said,

00:30:53.260 what I want

00:30:53.680 to say,

00:30:54.200 what I really

00:30:54.980 want to say

00:30:55.460 to you all

00:30:55.900 is that when

00:30:56.760 we read the

00:30:57.420 Bhagavad Gita,

00:30:58.660 you have two

00:30:59.380 different influences,

00:31:00.560 you have the

00:31:01.060 origins which can

00:31:02.200 be found in

00:31:02.880 Europe if we

00:31:03.540 trace back the

00:31:05.040 movements of

00:31:07.400 the recorded

00:31:08.360 word-derived

00:31:09.000 cultures,

00:31:09.680 and if you want

00:31:10.200 a deeper dive

00:31:10.920 into this,

00:31:11.500 I can definitely

00:31:12.220 recommend my

00:31:13.620 man Tom,

00:31:14.840 my man Tom's

00:31:15.620 video,

00:31:16.140 survive the

00:31:16.740 jives video on

00:31:17.680 the Aryan

00:31:18.300 invasion of

00:31:19.420 India,

00:31:20.080 so this is

00:31:20.760 proven beyond

00:31:21.560 any doubt now

00:31:22.380 thanks to

00:31:23.120 genetical studies

00:31:24.240 that there was

00:31:25.140 indeed an

00:31:25.740 invasion from

00:31:26.600 the north into

00:31:27.480 India and that 0.55

00:31:28.280 created the

00:31:29.920 Vedic culture,

00:31:31.720 so you can

00:31:32.480 definitely make

00:31:33.100 the case that

00:31:33.820 you should read

00:31:34.380 the Bhagavad Gita

00:31:35.300 to get closer

00:31:36.460 to European

00:31:37.980 spirituality,

00:31:39.380 European religion,

00:31:40.240 and if you are

00:31:41.260 interested in

00:31:42.260 this topic,

00:31:43.280 it's called

00:31:43.720 comparative

00:31:44.280 mythology,

00:31:45.520 now that does

00:31:46.360 not mean that

00:31:47.440 all of the

00:31:47.940 gods are

00:31:48.600 exactly the

00:31:49.440 same,

00:31:49.920 so Indra and

00:31:50.720 Thor,

00:31:51.100 they are not

00:31:51.520 the exact same,

00:31:52.460 but if you

00:31:53.540 look at

00:31:54.160 myths and

00:31:55.040 stories and

00:31:55.920 the like,

00:31:56.660 you can see

00:31:57.260 similarities and

00:31:58.540 they can then

00:31:59.340 point to a

00:32:00.420 shared origin

00:32:01.640 of these

00:32:02.740 religions,

00:32:03.960 so anyway,

00:32:05.100 that all being

00:32:05.900 said,

00:32:06.280 let's get into

00:32:07.220 the holy text

00:32:08.180 itself and I

00:32:09.000 have read

00:32:09.420 the Bhagavad

00:32:10.380 Gita as it

00:32:11.320 is, by his

00:32:12.100 divine grace,

00:32:13.740 Swami Prabhupada,

00:32:15.300 if I pronounce

00:32:16.000 that somewhat

00:32:17.120 correctly.

00:32:18.620 So,

00:32:19.400 explained in

00:32:20.300 the simplest

00:32:21.040 of terms,

00:32:22.080 you can say

00:32:22.440 that the

00:32:22.920 Bhagavad Gita

00:32:23.600 is a conversation

00:32:24.820 between Arjuna,

00:32:27.020 which is a

00:32:27.960 hero of the

00:32:28.920 Kshatriya class,

00:32:30.180 so the warrior

00:32:31.560 archetype,

00:32:32.800 and Krishna,

00:32:34.240 the supreme

00:32:34.800 personality of

00:32:35.840 Godhead,

00:32:36.280 so if you

00:32:37.400 are Christian

00:32:38.340 or if you

00:32:38.980 are not

00:32:40.240 following any

00:32:41.480 religion in

00:32:42.140 particular,

00:32:42.760 you can just

00:32:43.400 view Krishna

00:32:44.240 as God,

00:32:45.320 so the author

00:32:46.480 also uses the

00:32:48.140 terms interchangeably,

00:32:49.440 so Krishna

00:32:50.020 or God,

00:32:51.480 so I will

00:32:52.040 actually start

00:32:52.740 with a quite

00:32:54.200 epic and

00:32:54.780 beautiful quote

00:32:55.720 describing Krishna

00:32:57.380 before we get

00:32:58.140 into some of

00:32:59.420 the other

00:32:59.840 passages in

00:33:00.820 the book,

00:33:02.320 so we turn

00:33:03.240 to page

00:33:04.200 431,

00:33:06.280 in this

00:33:06.880 abode,

00:33:07.580 the Lord

00:33:07.960 is served

00:33:08.480 by hundreds

00:33:09.160 of thousands

00:33:09.880 of goddesses

00:33:10.660 of fortune,

00:33:11.500 and he is

00:33:12.120 called Govinda,

00:33:13.140 the primal

00:33:13.760 Lord,

00:33:14.260 and the cause

00:33:14.800 of all causes,

00:33:16.140 the Lord

00:33:16.600 is accustomed

00:33:17.260 to blow 0.56

00:33:17.800 his flute,

00:33:18.700 his transcendental

00:33:19.660 form is the

00:33:20.340 most attractive

00:33:21.080 in all the

00:33:21.940 worlds,

00:33:22.620 his eyes

00:33:23.200 are like

00:33:23.600 the lotus

00:33:24.060 petals,

00:33:24.800 and the

00:33:25.000 color of

00:33:25.440 his body

00:33:25.880 like clouds,

00:33:27.380 he is so

00:33:27.780 attractive

00:33:28.300 that his

00:33:28.880 beauty excels

00:33:29.740 that of a

00:33:30.340 thousand cupids,

00:33:31.820 he wears

00:33:32.220 saffron cloth,

00:33:33.160 a garland

00:33:34.020 around his

00:33:34.540 neck,

00:33:35.120 and a

00:33:35.340 peacock feather

00:33:35.980 in his

00:33:36.320 hair.

00:33:36.900 In the

00:33:37.240 Gita,

00:33:37.840 Lord Krishna

00:33:38.480 gives only a

00:33:39.220 small hint

00:33:39.800 of his

00:33:40.040 personal abode,

00:33:41.240 which is the

00:33:41.820 supermost planet

00:33:42.780 in the

00:33:43.120 spiritual kingdom.

00:33:44.760 So,

00:33:45.280 quite epic

00:33:45.880 stuff indeed,

00:33:46.600 quite beautifully

00:33:47.400 written,

00:33:48.160 always when I

00:33:48.880 read any

00:33:49.400 esoteric text

00:33:50.380 and a

00:33:50.660 spiritual text,

00:33:51.440 I'm always

00:33:51.840 on the lookout

00:33:52.380 for beautiful

00:33:53.840 and epic

00:33:54.300 quotes like

00:33:55.380 this.

00:33:55.720 So,

00:33:56.640 anyway,

00:33:57.300 Krishna is

00:33:58.120 the cause

00:33:58.820 of all

00:33:59.460 causes,

00:34:00.300 and then

00:34:00.720 there are

00:34:01.140 many other

00:34:02.320 gods or

00:34:02.880 demigods,

00:34:03.580 as this author

00:34:04.440 labels them,

00:34:05.260 and they are

00:34:06.000 subservient to

00:34:07.560 Krishna,

00:34:08.220 so they are

00:34:08.540 part of

00:34:08.980 Krishna.

00:34:09.420 Now,

00:34:09.780 I explained

00:34:10.420 this in the

00:34:11.140 following way

00:34:11.840 about a

00:34:12.920 year ago

00:34:13.420 when I

00:34:14.120 made a

00:34:14.480 video titled

00:34:15.260 Do I

00:34:15.740 believe in

00:34:16.180 God?

00:34:16.500 And then

00:34:16.800 I said

00:34:17.420 yes,

00:34:17.820 I believe

00:34:18.160 in God,

00:34:18.660 and I

00:34:18.940 also believe

00:34:19.420 in the

00:34:20.000 gods,

00:34:20.520 and I

00:34:20.840 compared it

00:34:21.380 to the

00:34:22.400 world ocean,

00:34:23.440 which is

00:34:23.920 one ocean,

00:34:24.780 so that is

00:34:25.260 God,

00:34:25.560 and then

00:34:25.960 you have

00:34:26.220 different

00:34:26.740 oceans,

00:34:27.640 you have

00:34:27.900 the Baltic

00:34:28.480 Sea,

00:34:28.860 and then

00:34:29.060 you have

00:34:29.320 the

00:34:29.800 Mediterranean

00:34:30.460 and the

00:34:30.980 Atlantic,

00:34:31.540 so they

00:34:31.820 are separate,

00:34:33.260 but they

00:34:33.700 are still

00:34:34.020 connected,

00:34:34.920 and they

00:34:35.660 are part

00:34:36.140 of the

00:34:36.560 one,

00:34:36.900 and this

00:34:37.160 is also

00:34:37.500 something

00:34:37.900 that is

00:34:38.740 stressed

00:34:39.160 in the

00:34:39.740 Bhagavad

00:34:40.140 Gita,

00:34:40.600 that Krishna,

00:34:41.380 the supreme

00:34:42.080 personality

00:34:43.200 of Godhead,

00:34:43.980 so God,

00:34:44.560 he is in

00:34:45.180 everything,

00:34:45.860 and everything

00:34:46.320 comes from

00:34:47.700 him,

00:34:48.240 this will

00:34:48.700 be familiar

00:34:49.460 to anyone

00:34:50.180 who is

00:34:50.860 a

00:34:51.560 Neoplatonist,

00:34:52.520 so you

00:34:52.980 can find

00:34:53.400 these similarities

00:34:54.260 between the

00:34:55.320 discussions on

00:34:56.320 God,

00:34:56.840 and here a

00:34:57.600 perennialist would

00:34:58.800 have a good time

00:35:00.140 finding the similarities

00:35:01.360 and pointing to

00:35:02.460 the commonalities

00:35:03.660 between the great

00:35:04.600 religions and

00:35:05.460 pointing to

00:35:06.180 the ultimate

00:35:07.260 truth of God,

00:35:08.480 and now of course

00:35:08.940 this is all

00:35:09.980 very, you know,

00:35:11.200 it's definitely

00:35:12.120 far beyond my

00:35:13.600 understanding to

00:35:14.980 comment on the

00:35:15.660 nature of God,

00:35:16.320 God, I'm just

00:35:16.800 a humble,

00:35:17.840 aspiring,

00:35:18.720 enlightened 0.88

00:35:19.080 despot,

00:35:20.020 who is

00:35:20.560 interested in

00:35:21.480 these things,

00:35:22.620 so I can

00:35:22.920 fuel my

00:35:23.480 own journey,

00:35:24.180 but yeah,

00:35:25.280 it does make

00:35:25.820 sense that you

00:35:26.480 have a great

00:35:27.400 metaphysical

00:35:28.040 force behind

00:35:28.940 the physical,

00:35:30.480 the material

00:35:31.040 realm,

00:35:31.800 and this is

00:35:32.180 also how it's

00:35:32.780 described in

00:35:33.520 the Bhagavad Gita

00:35:34.320 here, that

00:35:34.900 Krishna is

00:35:35.560 behind it all,

00:35:37.340 he is above

00:35:38.040 it all,

00:35:38.480 and he exists

00:35:39.320 in it all.

00:35:40.180 So I got

00:35:40.840 ahead of myself

00:35:41.640 a bit here,

00:35:42.340 I was actually

00:35:42.880 supposed to

00:35:43.560 explain what

00:35:44.280 the Bhagavad Gita

00:35:45.420 was at first,

00:35:46.540 so you can view

00:35:47.260 it as a discussion

00:35:48.140 between this

00:35:49.280 hero, Arjuna,

00:35:51.420 and Krishna,

00:35:52.520 so Krishna

00:35:53.020 comes down to,

00:35:54.700 he assumes a

00:35:55.360 human form and

00:35:56.180 gives advice to

00:35:57.120 his friend Arjuna,

00:35:58.500 and the main,

00:36:00.740 perhaps the most

00:36:01.300 potent teaching

00:36:02.260 of the Bhagavad Gita

00:36:03.580 is to do

00:36:04.520 your duty,

00:36:05.380 and this is also

00:36:06.080 why it strikes me

00:36:07.020 as a very Aryan 0.92

00:36:08.020 text that Krishna

00:36:09.920 says to Arjuna

00:36:11.400 that do your

00:36:12.480 duty as a

00:36:13.600 warrior,

00:36:14.160 as a Kshatriya,

00:36:15.320 so Arjuna

00:36:15.880 asks Krishna,

00:36:17.180 I don't want

00:36:17.840 to fight this

00:36:18.740 battle,

00:36:19.220 because they are

00:36:19.720 on a battlefield

00:36:20.280 in the chariot

00:36:21.440 and they have

00:36:22.000 this conversation

00:36:22.740 and he says,

00:36:23.860 Arjuna says,

00:36:24.620 I don't want

00:36:25.200 to fight,

00:36:25.700 because on the

00:36:26.220 other side

00:36:26.740 there are

00:36:27.180 relatives,

00:36:28.000 people I like,

00:36:28.780 I don't want

00:36:29.300 to fight,

00:36:30.280 and then Krishna

00:36:31.620 says you have

00:36:32.320 to fight,

00:36:32.960 because you are

00:36:33.860 a Kshatriya,

00:36:35.140 so this is

00:36:35.680 your duty,

00:36:36.560 and this passage

00:36:37.880 strikes me as

00:36:39.040 a very,

00:36:39.820 very Indo-European

00:36:41.440 thing indeed,

00:36:42.320 that you do

00:36:43.140 your duty no

00:36:44.220 matter what,

00:36:44.800 and you live

00:36:45.280 in accord with

00:36:46.320 your archetype,

00:36:47.540 so he is a

00:36:48.420 warrior,

00:36:48.940 that is his

00:36:49.540 calling,

00:36:50.180 and he is only

00:36:50.840 doing his

00:36:51.880 duty,

00:36:52.600 and thereby also

00:36:53.320 he follows

00:36:53.960 Dharma,

00:36:55.220 so the right

00:36:55.840 path,

00:36:56.260 I've talked about

00:36:56.820 this before,

00:36:57.880 Dharma following

00:36:58.880 the Tyr rune,

00:37:00.040 if we are talking

00:37:00.480 about rune,

00:37:01.440 the Germanic

00:37:02.340 conception of

00:37:03.360 right and wrong,

00:37:04.160 you follow the

00:37:04.760 Tyr rune doing

00:37:06.380 what is right,

00:37:07.360 and here,

00:37:07.800 you know,

00:37:08.060 following Dharma,

00:37:09.000 doing your

00:37:09.600 duty,

00:37:10.460 so very

00:37:11.280 familiar stuff

00:37:12.300 indeed,

00:37:13.040 so we turn

00:37:13.900 to page 73,

00:37:16.180 and we read

00:37:16.820 the following,

00:37:18.520 the supreme

00:37:19.000 person said,

00:37:20.200 my dear Arjuna,

00:37:21.420 how have these

00:37:22.200 impurities come

00:37:23.000 upon you,

00:37:23.900 they are not at

00:37:24.600 all befitting a

00:37:25.400 man who knows

00:37:26.180 the progressive

00:37:26.780 values of life,

00:37:28.300 they do not lead

00:37:29.140 to higher planets,

00:37:30.420 but to infamy,

00:37:31.240 so Krishna is

00:37:34.100 admonishing Arjuna

00:37:35.260 because he doesn't

00:37:36.440 want to fight,

00:37:37.160 and when it says

00:37:38.000 higher planets,

00:37:39.080 it's what you

00:37:39.980 could maybe call

00:37:40.740 the kingdom of

00:37:41.760 heaven if you

00:37:42.360 are a Christian,

00:37:43.160 or Valhalla or

00:37:44.560 something like

00:37:45.460 that,

00:37:45.980 so we turn to

00:37:47.260 page 75,

00:37:49.080 where the

00:37:49.800 commentator of

00:37:51.420 the Bhagavad Gita,

00:37:52.800 he says the

00:37:53.680 following,

00:37:54.540 although Arjuna

00:37:55.720 was Akshatriya,

00:37:56.800 he was deviating

00:37:57.640 from his prescribed

00:37:58.500 duties by declining

00:37:59.760 to fight,

00:38:00.780 this act of

00:38:01.540 cowardice is

00:38:02.260 described as

00:38:02.920 befitting the

00:38:03.680 non-Aryans,

00:38:04.960 such deviation from

00:38:06.140 duty does not

00:38:07.020 help one in the

00:38:07.880 progress of

00:38:08.400 spiritual life,

00:38:09.640 nor does it

00:38:10.460 even give one

00:38:11.280 the opportunity

00:38:11.980 to become famous

00:38:13.080 in this world,

00:38:14.240 Lord Krishna did

00:38:15.180 not approve of

00:38:16.000 the so-called

00:38:16.620 compassion of

00:38:17.560 Arjuna for

00:38:18.400 his kinsmen,

00:38:19.460 so this is a

00:38:21.160 very good way

00:38:22.120 to describe it.

00:38:23.340 Now we'll go

00:38:23.940 to a music break

00:38:25.540 and then we'll

00:38:26.060 be right back,

00:38:27.920 and to everyone

00:38:28.680 who is not

00:38:29.300 subscribed,

00:38:30.260 I thank you for

00:38:31.020 listening and I

00:38:31.920 encourage you to

00:38:32.900 consider subscribing

00:38:35.140 to The Greatest

00:38:36.000 Podcast so you

00:38:36.960 can listen to

00:38:37.520 this full episode

00:38:38.700 and coming full

00:38:39.660 episodes as well.

00:38:41.120 I will endeavor

00:38:41.840 to make it

00:38:42.480 worthwhile.

00:38:43.660 So, again,

00:38:44.400 a short music

00:38:45.020 break and we'll

00:38:45.660 get back to

00:38:46.340 some more epic

00:38:47.380 wisdom from the

00:38:48.820 Bhagavad Gita.
