"The bee buzzes as long as it is not sitting on a flower. It becomes silent when it begins to sip the honey. But sometimes, intoxicated with the honey, it buzzes again." - Rama
The jnani's use of reason to discriminate--between real and unreal, between permanent and transitory--is the buzzing of the jnani bee. The bhakti buzzes through yearning and methodical ritual. And then there is the spacious buzz of Sri Hippie Speedball, encompassing everything, interpolating nothing. G'day now.
"But in the Kaliyuga, man, being totally dependent on food for life, cannot altogether shake off the idea he is the body." - Rama
The Kaliyuga is the last of the four cycles of human history. It should be no surprise that we are immersed in a time of minimal virtue and great excess of vice. Those rishis weren't born yesterday, or maybe they were, but they were extremely savvy and street smart just the same. The delusion of a separate self poisons us with greed. Every human conflict stems from this delusion, its din a constant siren-call from the echo chamber of Kaliyuga.
"If you see someone engaged in reasoning even after he has realized God, you may liken him to a bee, which also buzzes a little even while sipping honey from a flower." - Rama
