“I shall now explain the knowable, knowing which you will taste the eternal. Brahman, the spirit, beginningless and subordinate to Me, lies beyond the cause and effect of this material world.” 13.13 Bhagavad Gita Nature, the enjoyer and Consciousness
While the “spirit”, that which is regarded as “Brahman” (which is another name for material existence, as well as a spiritual devotee), the “eternal”, is “beyond the cause and effect of this material world”, it is also the function of coming to know “the knowable” [of effective action within causality] (Subjective existence somehow mysteriously springing forth, in parallel terms, from a deeper and persistent institution of self-awareness regarded most effectively, socially, as God… “Brahman” is both beyond as well as the fruit of karmic activity in this world). The fruits of fruitful activity truly are extraordinary/supernatural… they, as relayed here, will allow you to “taste the eternal”. Such are the senses…they give you a sense of the heart of God/All.
The cause and effect of this world hold the potential…to manifest genuine truth…and bring us into the vicinity of that which transcends, yet permeates the entirety of, mortality, itself. They also allow for the potential to slip into ignorance/remain stuck within ignorance, acutely. The “truth” precedes the dynamics of this world, and eventually comes to erode ignorance wherever it does manifest. Ultimately, dynamics are about fashioning us into a resonant likeness of “the eternal” and it’s evident to see that bliss is the inevitable resolve of everything that is, as it’s our nature…
