Below is the summary of previous Sunday's discourse @ Vedic Temple (Summary provided by Mr. Vikas Bagga).

Key Discussion Points:
Concept of Brahm elaborated.
Recognition of the Human Form of Existence

Brahm – Anything that brings about the growth is Brahm. Example, when we take food in, it makes us grow, thus food is Brahm in this case. In the same way when we put Ghee in the Fire (Yajna), it makes it grow. The Ghee (Butter/Whey) is the Brahm, it made the fire grow.
There are 2 types of Brahm: Moort and Amoort
Moort: Is the Vyakat or what we can see and perceive. This is the easier part.
Amoort: Is the Avyakt or the Brahm we cannot see or feel by our human senses.
The examples of these are Prakriti (cosmos) Atma (soul), Parmatma (Eternal God), Budhi (Intelligence).

Having understood that anything that goes on to push our life further towards progress is Braham, we have to be able to distinguish with Abrham. Not everything helps us move forward in life. We can as easily indulge in AtmaHatya (SelfDestruction).Don't compromise your soul by underperforming on your Dharma.
Some of the things to avoid are being disrespectful, eating non-vegetarian food, causing pain to others. The Mind (Mun) has to continually seek the higher virtues and qualities such as vision, strength and rejecting undesirable aspects such as restlessness, ahankaar etc. So, Mun and Ahankaar can also be Brahm, provided their actions result in Mukti or self-realization or God-realization and if they take us on the opposite path, then they are Abrahm.
To support this point we consider Lord Krishna who is considered the ultimate example of Yogi as through the austere means of Yog he had realized Parmatma (Now Parmatma is Eternal God and not same as Lord Krishna, who developed understanding of Parmatma – see previous notes). We cannot call ourselves Brahm as yet as we have not developed the same qualities and virtues as those developed by Lord Krishna and few select other persons. We have to be able to exhibit the same behavior, qualities and thought process and have equality in all aspects of our thinking to be equated at the level of Brahm. Our Soul should be immersed with the Parameshwar through Samadhi – a process of total surrender of soul to God, by the process of which we can see God and exhibit the qualities of God. That person has achieved Brahm. He has grown his soul and become united with God.
Efforts to be made to keep the learning of the Vedic Teachings pure.
Aadi Shankaracharya has been an immense contributor to spread the true and pure meaning of the Vedic Dharma. Amongst all forms of creation of life, the Human form of birth is considered the supreme form of creation and existence. As human beings we should be aware of this and cherish the opportunity to be born as what we are. Our superior existence has three aspects to it. One of the goals is to have higher and rewarding experience during the lifetime, which may be gained by following the basic tenets of our existence:
Develop Humanity – to empathize with your fellow beings. Feel the pain and reach out to them.
Develop Vedic knowledge – Viprata
Walk the path preached in the Vedic Knowledge
Become a Vidvaan or scholar in Vedic knowledge and preach and practice it.
The second aspect of our existence is to understand the relation between the Atma and Parmatma or the relation between Soul and God. Understanding and Seeing God is possible only through the inner Soul. Unlike our various sensory organs such as nose, eyes, mouth, hand which can reach out and feel various objects, God can be touched, seen or felt only when there is the SOUL CONNECTION.The Ultimate aim of our human existence is to get Mukti (Liberation from birth & Death).
