This is my fist ipad sketch using Autodesk SketchBook Pro<\/a> and Wacom’s bamboo stylus <\/a>. It is an image that came to me as this verse from \u015ar\u012b R\u016bpa Gosv\u0101m\u012b’s Upade\u015b\u0101m\u1e5bta was playing in my mind as I adjusted my diet to combat candida. It is a make or break of spiritual life explaining that starting with the tongue a true spiritual guide must be in control of their senses.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

“A sober person who can tolerate the urge to speak, the mind’s demands, the actions of anger and the urges of the tongue, belly and genitals is qualified to make disciples all over the world.”<\/p>\n~ <\/em>\u015ar\u012bla R\u016bpa Gosv\u0101m\u012b – Upade\u015b\u0101m\u1e5bta<\/em><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

This is not hype cultivated through effort or force but a natural outcome of being attracted to a higher transcendental substance than what is found through the external senses.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

“The embodied soul may be restricted from sense enjoyment, though the taste for sense objects remains. But, ceasing such engagements by experiencing a higher taste, he is fixed in divine consciousness.”<\/p>\n~ \u015ar\u012bmad Bhagavad-g\u012bt\u0101 – 2.59<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
