Rise Above Religion Of Pleasing Gods With Rituals For Pleasures/Heavens says Sri Krishna

Sri Swami Tattvavidananda Saraswati source: Lecture of the text "Daśaślokī" of Adi Shankaracharya in English by Swami Tattvavidananda at Dayananda Ashram, Rishikesh    • 01.Daśaślokī in English by Sw Tattvavidana...   Sri Swami Tattvavidananda Saraswati exhorts a deeper meaning of *Dharma* and the limitations of ritualistic religion according to Krishna. Redefining Dharma *Narrow vs. Wide Meaning:* The speaker explains that Dharma is often misinterpreted as a set of rituals or "propitiatory works" performed solely to gain benefits or fulfill worldly desires. *Sri Krishna’s Stance:* The video highlights that Sri Krishna is not in favor of this transactional approach. He categorizes those who focus only on ritualistic rewards as Avipashchitah (those lacking deep insight). The Pitfalls of Ritualism (Karmakanda) *Mechanical Practice:* Many people treat scriptures mechanically. The speaker compares this to a donkey carrying a load of sandalwood: the animal feels the heavy weight on its back but never actually experiences the fragrance. *The Trap of Bondage:* Rather than providing true freedom, ritualistic religion can push a person further into bondage. The speaker notes that in texts like the Bhagavatam*, these rituals are presented as "ropes" that tie one down to *Samsara (the cycle of worldly existence). The Pursuit of Moksha (Freedom) *Rising Above:* Sri Krishna advises Arjuna to rise above the Karmakanda (the ritualistic section of the Vedas) to seek true spiritual liberation. *Defining Freedom:* True freedom is described as a state where a person no longer struggles for security or happiness. It is liberation from the constant "bondage" of worry, fear, and dissatisfaction. *The Ultimate Goal:* The discourse concludes that the end of human endeavor is not to please deities for favors, but to achieve a state of mind so secure that one is no longer even conscious of insecurity.
