A rocking ferry, a lot of waves, and a little grace. We ride through international waters, talk about the vast ocean as a metaphor for the "ocean of material nescience", discussing how difficult it would be to cross without proper guidance, referring to the importance of spiritual guidance and associations in navigating life's challenges and rest in simple practice. Association, hearing, and singing become our boat. We light a bit of incense, settle the heart, and chant Madana Mohana Murari together. Come breathe with us, chant with us, and make home anywhere.

hey

2

I must say

3

I must say we bow to the divinity within you

4

I'm all peace be with you and upon you

5

I'm Mark David Carroll and I'm Maria Curvin

6

middle name don't know

7

say your full name Maria Katherine Curvin

8

yeah you go

9

and this is Juicy Magic on the Daily from a boat

10

today we're on a boat haha

11

I can't every time I think

12

I can't help but think of Step Brothers

13

that is one ridiculously funny

14

stupid movie so funny

15

oh you mean the one with Anna Swanson and no

16

no no

17

no Olivia

18

no no no no

19

see Riley and Ryan oh no

20

that was the twins yeah

21

not the twins I haven't seen twins since the eighties

22

oh my God

23

so we are today we are in international waters

24

I think that's beyond the yeah

25

let's show them yeah

26

yeah go

27

go international waters

28

a lot of water

29

there he is and it's nice

30

we're out here getting some fresh air

31

because inside you can hear a lot of vomiting sounds

32

people are throwing up

33

now I'm not much of a seafarer

34

but fortunately I don't feel seasick

35

which as anyone who has ever been seasick knows

36

that is one of the worst feelings in the world

37

mind you

38

I don't remember ever being flayed in this life alive

39

so then that's sure

40

that's worse but

41

but yeah

42

being seasick is such a discombobulated feeling

43

and so we've been spending a lot of time actually

44

since we've been on the boat

45

we're gonna be on the boat for what

46

how many hours

47

36

48

two nights and a full day so 20 four plus 9 31 hours

49

yeah

50

from start to finish and we're going along with those

51

sorry 33 hours 33 haha yes no

52

we have a time difference yeah

53

there's a time difference

54

it's there's doesn't matter more than 30 hours

55

so we're on a boat heading up the coast

56

we've been through Greece past Albania

57

and now we're probably passing

58

could be Bosnia or Croatia on the no

59

we're not on Croatia and on the west would be Italy

60

but we can't see any of those all we can see is water

61

yeah we're in the deep waters

62

which which brings us to a nice

63

in in the scriptures it's often referred that the

64

the ocean of material nescience of darkness

65

of ignorance is considered so vast

66

it's like we look out on the sea here

67

and it's just unfathomably huge

68

imagine trying to cross this ocean

69

on your own endeavor on your own strength

70

here we have this amazing boat

71

it's incredible it's got a huge engine

72

it's got running water inside yeah

73

you can smell it yeah smelling good

74

got a lot of omitting passengers inside too

75

that's true who are praying you know

76

that's amazing that even atheists pray

77

during tough times hard times

78

um

79

so how do we so we cross or how it is advised to

80

cross this vast ocean of Russians

81

yes

82

darkness is through

83

they say that through the Grace of the bonified

84

spiritual master we can

85

and the wisdom that they give

86

that we can cross over the ocean of materialness

87

the same way we can walk over a hoof

88

prints of water

89

you ever seen a dog or a cow prints or a goat prints

90

when it's filled with water

91

it's easy to step over

92

but on our own it's like this giant incredible

93

very formidable

94

terrifying really ocean if it wasn't for this boat

95

boy it's cold and dark and wet out there

96

and who knows what's lurking underneath sharks

97

we were just listening to a show about the cinder bonds

98

in India and Bangladesh

99

where there's saltwater crocodiles sharks

100

man eating tigers

101

whoo

102

we could be at home eating a little bread and oil

103

watching the sunset I think I'll take the ladder

104

I think I wanna throw something in

105

thank you

106

I think I feel good

107

because I have the right association

108

that's not something that

109

and that's another thing associations

110

everything we really

111

they say when you're raising kids that they'll

112

you know up until 4 or 5 got a lot of influence

113

but after that especially if they're going to school

114

uh away from home

115

they really really become who they associate with

116

so and that lasts for the rest of the lifetime

117

so yeah so

118

how good I pass through this ocean

119

ocean of lessons depends

120

on the association I have with you

121

and then the people we learn

122

you know how to cope or not cope

123

the habits that we develop or don't develop

124

which we end up really relying on during the most

125

the most difficult times which as you know

126

as my my biological dad not my supreme father

127

but he was pretty he was pretty awesome guy he said um

128

gold age is not for whims you know

129

the body gets does get over it it gets diseased

130

it's

131

it dwindles and then it reacts and then it disappears

132

it just

133

all these clay shards

134

these reactions and atoms they just they

135

they dissipate through the smoke and fire

136

we were seeing the bodies burning at Varanasi

137

or some people dump the bodies in the ocean or

138

some Tibetan rituals

139

they let the novices chop up the body on the hill

140

while the vultures eat it as a meditation

141

you know they bury it in some cultures and some

142

they have these combs of silence where they

143

they have the bones up top

144

where they get swept

145

once they're bleached down into the

146

into these towers

147

that's Solarian maybe either way

148

association is key

149

and what's most important is to find

150

you know

151

a long line of of teachers of bonified teachers

152

when it comes to spiritual science

153

it's not a business if someone's selling you something

154

it's still material science and

155

although material science can be wonderful

156

we also need spiritual science

157

and we get that through hearing first

158

Shravanam Kirtanam Vishnum hearing

159

remembering and repeating

160

and the more we remember and hear and repeat

161

the more we eat

162

actualize and realize the knowledge

163

the more that we actually realize it's not no longer a

164

someone telling us something that we

165

we go on Trada on faith

166

but we also then start to go on

167

on experience and wisdom but we need all of that

168

so why don't we do a little uh garonga

169

do you want to do a little call and response

170

I was just thinking of the conch shell

171

that I heard at Monkey Town

172

that was incredible

173

and I saw all these warriors that were coming to fight

174

Maya to conquer this ocean

175

I was just thinking of that

176

would like to blow the conch shell

177

yes we love to blow the conch shell

178

in our morning prayers and offerings

179

there's some wonderful magical juicy juicy magic

180

activities that we can engage in

181

and they say nature abhors a void

182

we're not void you're not void

183

I'm not nothing you're not nothing

184

we are internally means living

185

means maybe we can blow the console on their podcast

186

well that'd be great yeah

187

we can do a lot of things with our artistry

188

and some incense and one way that

189

you know often

190

people feel a lot of discombobulation

191

when they're traveling because they don't feel at home

192

but we could feel very much at home with very little

193

and we brought some incense with us

194

and we have a little offering

195

and it puts us in this mood of connection to

196

screaming and and all of the energy

197

and really allows us to be at home

198

wherever we are yeah

199

whatever chaos is it was quite common

200

so there's a lot of well boarding a ship in Greece

201

it's not like boarding a ship in Germany

202

can you tell him a little bit about how

203

maybe we should call it a day

204

it's getting long yeah

205

let's do it no

206

but but we were totally content

207

so we were listening to a lecture in the car

208

we were chanting and whatever chaos was around us

209

we were just smiling and just like

210

so I could do I could do a little something in your ear

211

which reminds us of our true home yeah

212

and you can respond and I can listen very intently

213

this is known as kirtan yes

214

so

215

we're gonna do a nice one called Madana Mohana Burari

216

Madana Mohana Murari

217

Madana Mohana Murari

218

so let me sing it and then you repeat it yeah

219

and then I'll listen and you sing it okay

220

I offer my respects to our spiritual masters and

221

what his Chinese name is

222

just like that we feel at home

223

and we also feel really

224

soothed in this rocking and rolling motion

225

and it's a really nice activity to do anywhere anytime

226

just two or more

227

just tear it on it's the more the merrier obviously

228

but you can really get going

229

that was fun we just

230

all you need are your hands and your voice

231

you don't even need your hands

232

you don't have hands you can still sing

233

and the cool thing is you can use any melody

234

any melody there are no hard and fast rules

235

just take your favorite song and put in the words

236

and sing it no hard and fast rules

237

just ending the Holy name

238

so we'll see thanks for tuning in today
