Radhanath Swami on Seeing Through the Eyes of Scriptures

What we may witness in the world, we must learn to process that information through the knowledge we have read in the holy scriptures and the knowledge we have heard from the great saintly people. Therefore, any national or international events that occur, anything that happens in the lives of those around us, and anything that happens in our own lives, we try to interpret them in such a way that it gives us real understanding and realizations. And that will help us in coming closer to God. This is how we should always be absorbed and this absorption brings real fulfillment and excitement to life.

So it is said that a learned person does not see through his/her eyes but sees with his/her ears.

    YDAS says : This is great concept by Radhanath Swami, that a learned person does not see through the eyes but sees with the ears. And I appreciate the his/her written their showing eqaulity among the male and female sex.

    Our senses are imperfect & limited. So as Radhanath Swami has rightly pointed out, we need to depend on the scriptures & the wisdom of the saintly people to find solace & strength to survive in today's dog-eat-dog civilisation. Stay strong & keep the faith alive!

    Even the insignificant blade of grass does not move without the sanction of the Lord.One has to accept any thing that happens is nothing but the mercy of Krishna.All glories to Radhanatha Swami.

    This is true!One must be trained to perceive all events occurring in one's personal or social life through the eyes of scripture to get the right perspective

    This is a wonderful point ... seeing with ears. And this is so true as well. Often we believe on things that we can't see with our eyes... like the axioms in science... they can't be seen but we believe on faith. Same way the best place to invest our faith is Vedas. Thank you Radhanath Swami.

    That's a beautiful concept of seeing through the ears!. Radhanath Swami shows us how we should always be absorbed by connecting everything in our life to god and hence coming closer to him.

    What mind knows the eyes can see that. So if we have not heard from the authority, the sight remains just a visual impression without proper impact. But when we hear and then see the things in right perspective then we can make the best of it. Swamiji has put this fact very nicely in simple words that one should see thru' ears...amazing...Tx a lot.

    Nice message from Radhanath Swami. To know if something is bona-fide, guru-sadhu and shashtra must be referred.

    This is a very nice post...it is very easy to believe what we see...externally a person might appear to be a great spiritual teacher, but might not be following the words of the scriptures in his own life. We cannot trust the judgement of our eyes, rather we must hear what they have to say, if it is in conjunction with the scriptures. Thank you, Radhanath Swami.

    i guess such an attempt of connecting the hustle-bustle around us with the tattva also helps us realise more, convinced more, increase our faith more and thereby be situated on the transcendental platform...

    Very correct.Hearing is "sabda brahma" Hearing from authority. Knowing from authority is not seeing him but hearing from him. all glories to Radhanatha Swami.
