Part 4/8:
Swami Ji outlines the intricate relationship between the cosmos, the divine, and human perceptions of reality. The cosmic cycles, known as Yugas, are articulated to illustrate the evolution of human understanding and consciousness over vast time scales. Each Yuga signifies a distinct phase in the development of spiritual and intellectual capacities, shaping humanity's perception of existence through cycles of light and darkness.
Insights from ancient Indian philosophy, intertwined with references from the Holy Bible, suggest that man's divine nature is often obscured by ignorance (avidya), the illusion of separateness from the divine source. This misperception leads to the suffering born of untamed desires and the quest for tangible contentment in the material realm.
