The Vedic World View

We could be forgiven for thinking that Mata, Pita and Guru, Mother, Father, and ‘Teacher,’ refer to specific people in our life. But as we’ve come to expect from Vedic wisdom, there is much more to these words than meets the eye.In this episode Thom explains the connotative meaning of this triumvirate and the role that they play, moment to moment, in our lives. While most of us see life as a series of events happening to us, those who view life through the lens of Mata, Pita and Guru, see it as a series of events happening for us. No points for guessing which approach leads to the least suffering.Episode Highlights[00:56] The Three-Part Body of Knowledge[02:36] Mata - The Gestator[03:56] Matrix[05:21] The Source of All New Moments[06:45] Purification Takes Place[07:46] Pita; The Instigator of Change[08:41] Source and Cause[09:47] Thought - A Stream of Energy and Intelligence[12:03] A Thing Stimulates You to Have a Thought[13:50] The Third Element - Guru[15:29] "We Can Make Money Out of This."[17:04] Truth of
