Answer Today's Quiz in Pinned comment!
-----------------------------------------------------
The rules in the scriptures are for our gradual elevation starting with the Varnashram Dharma and moving ahead to Karma Yog and so on. Those who are illumined realize that the self is not material in nature, but divine, and hence imperishable. Self-illumined souls learn to unite their consciousness with God and experience his infinite bliss within them. The karm (duties) prescribed for the materially conditioned souls are no longer applicable to such illumined souls because they have already attained the goal (Yog) of all such karm.
The goal of the Vedas is to help the soul attain Yog (unite with God). Once the soul becomes God-realized, the rules of the Vedas, which helped the soul to reach that destination, now no longer apply. The Vedas are there to help unite the self with the Supreme Self. When God-realization takes place, the task of the Vedas is over. Such an enlightened soul is no longer obliged to perform the Vedic duties.

Bhagavad Gita Chapter 3 Verse 17
यस्त्वात्मरतिरेव स्यादात्मतृप्तश्च मानव: |
आत्मन्येव च सन्तुष्टस्तस्य कार्यं न विद्यते || 17||
yas tvatma-ratir eva syad atma-triptash cha manavah
atmanyeva cha santushtas tasya karyam na vidyate

You are great ❤

[@smitamehtadenton]

Rejecting bodily dharma is a sin. But rejecting bodily dharma for spiritual dharma is praiseworthy. However, it is not recommended for the masses due to ineligibility. Many incorrectly take karm sanyas and degrade themselves due to the absence of detachment from the material world. Thank you, Swamiji.

Hello i'm ricky I need help with my feelings Dear god help me in life please dear god

[@tanmoyyghosh4355]

I have a question. Please clarify my doubt. My neighbour has always been trying to humiliate my family for the last 20 years. Recently, we came to know that by submitting forged and fabricated documents in the year 2012, he registered our land in his name. By virtue of the false documents, he not only threatens us but also humiliate my family by saying vulgar languages. My neighbour is a devotee of Lord Krishna and sometime, I don't understand "Is lord Krishna present or not". He darely does everything wrong but, no punishment is there. Therefore, requesting you to please clarify my doubt.

[@georgannkingsland767]

I have Indian friends had a son as a son that used to be beat them now he's an adult and the only thing that helped him was a needle in the arm science so where is God in these cases.
