Advaita SE Meditations - Personal World Creation

Listen to Ektaji guide us through an Advaita self-exploration meditation, ‘Personal World Creation’. Explore how the sense of I AM unfolds into thought, feeling, sensation, and perception, creating the experience of a personal world. Inspired by Nisargadatta Maharaj, this contemplation invites us to look beyond the body-mind, recognise the ever-changing nature of the NOW, and rest as the serene Nothingness from which all experience arises. Go beyond the waking and dream states, return to the serene source of being, and recognise the stillness where there is no yearning, no story, and no separate I.

Ding! You Let's do a self-exploration meditation. On personal world creation. Let's close our eyes, Sit comfortably. Let's relax the whole body. Relax the mind. Take your attention beyond the body and beyond the mind. And rest as the witness. Bring to your attention that there is only one experience. The experience of the now. We never ever step out of the now. Whatever we experience. We always experience it in the now. The now is limited. And now. Is constantly changing. Whatever was in the previous now. Is not there in the present now. The now is transitory. There is no permanency in the now. In our actual direct experience. There is no difference between the eye and the noun. Recognize this experientially. I am the now. We all experience this oneness between the I and the noun. Daily in the state of deep sleep. In the now, There is no continuity. There is no story. There is the plain, Simple, Nothingness. The expedience, This notingness. Daily. In the state of deep sleep. Rest as that low thing is. Remember how you arose from the deep sleep state. This morning. At first there was simply the sense of being. There was nothingness in that sense of being. In that nothingness arose the sense of I am. The sense of I yawns for more. It yearns for diversity. It neurons for permanency. It yearns for continuity. None of these can be found in the now. The I projects itself in the form of a thought. This is the birth of the notion. I am the mind. That is how. We transition from the deep sleep state into the dream state. Within the dream state. There is the bird. Or for private. Unshareable. Mind me. Temporary thought. Thought is enclosed within the mind. This thought projects or private. Unshareable. Mind me. Temporary mental feelings. The mental feeling is enclosed within the mind. The mental feeling in tone. Projects. So private. Unshareable. Mind me. Temporary physical sensation. The sensation is enclosed within the mind. The sensation gives birth. To the notion. I am the body. This is how we move from the dream state to the waking state. To waking state. Is nothing but a combination of thoughts. Feeling. And sensation. All these get translated into perception. The waking state is also private and enclosed within the mind. The privately enclosed combination. Of thought plus feeling plus sensation. Together project. And un-shareable. Mind me. Temporary perception of sight. The privately enclosed combination. Of thought, Feeling plus sensation. Together project. An unshareable, Mind-made, Temporary perception of sight. There are no colors, Shapes or sizes in the external world. Colors, Shapes and sizes. Are simply inside-out projections. The privately enclosed combination. Of thought plus feeling plus sensation. Project a temporary perception of sound. The perception of sound is unshareable. Mind made. And private. There are no sounds in the external physical world. Sounds are simply inside-out projections. The combination of thought plus feeling plus sensation. Project the perception of smell. The perception of smell is unshareable. Mind me. Privately Enclosed. There are no odors or smells in the external world. Voodoos or smells are simply inside-out projections. The combination of thought plus feeling plus sensation. So we check. The perception of peace. The perception of taste. Is unshareable. Mind me. Temporary and privately enclosed. There are no flavors in the external world. Flavors are simply inside-out projections. The combination of thought plus feeling plus sensation. Project. The perception of touch. The perception of touch. Is private. Unshareable. Mind me. And temporary. There are no textures in the external world. Textures are simply inside-out projections. Colors, Shapes, Sizes, Sound, Smell, Taste, Touch are all simply pots. All these thoughts are the creation of a personal world. You call this personal world as life. Nobody can enter your personal world. Nobody can see as you see. Nobody can hear as you hear. Nobody can feel your feeling. Nobody can experience your emotions. Nobody can think your thoughts. In your personal world? You are truly alone. In your personal world, You are enclosed in your ever-changing dream. Which you take as your life. The mind cannot accept this reality. The mind creates a false belief. That the external physical world is full of people, Full of things. The mind creates a belief. Of the existence of matter. The mind creates a belief. Of the existence of matter. The mind creates a belief. That the external physical world is the source of love and happiness. This is how we create our personal world. Nisargadatta Maharaj says that he does not live in this fantasy land. He urges us. A stick. Beyond thought, Feeling, Sensation, And perception. Step beyond the waking state and the dream state. Back to the deep sleep state. Back to the source of no-thingness. Back to the clean, Empty, Peaceful. Sitting, Nothingness of the being. Back to where there is no yearning. Back to the state where there is no I. Back to the state where there is no I. Back to the state where there is no I. Fa. . .
