Listen to Ektaji's answers to different questions related to Advaita (non-duality). These teachings are aimed at experiential understanding of the Truth viz. the dissolution of the Subject and Object relationship.
The in the world when we are moving around we will still move around the way we used to move around but we are not located in the mind we are located in the knowingness the knower that knower in the background that you were experiencing that's where we locate ourselves and we now from here can do everything that we were doing but my nature is nirgun my nature is silent even if in this ocean of knowingness anger arises it is nothing but a sensation it is made of knowingness it arises it plays for a while and it goes back it's okay a table is there i don't know if there is an object out there i just know perception of a shape of the table i just see eyes just see shape and color do you know this there is no third aspect look around your room right here all you see shape color is there anything third shape that color that's all that is the power of the human eye okay yes a bat how does it move around that it makes an echo with that sound it's called echo location and it figures out its three-dimensional world in its mind it's figuring it out and it moves because of that sound very clear a mole yes a mole just has sense of touch it touches and it builds its small hill you must have seen mole hills the small mole hills yes yeah so it builds it just by touch it doesn't have the other senses it creates its three-dimensional world within the limitation of what god's gift is or whatever senses we have been given it has been given similarly humans have a limitation with the eyes we only see shape and the color we only hear some waves we combine the shape the color the sound waves the mind says it is eight projected on your computer screen you get it yes yes yes yes yes this is all knowingness it is nothing else but knowingness this knowingness is different from the bats knowingness it created its own world just through sound we created our world through five senses plus thought so total sense of touch is what so total six senses yeah we create our own world and we start believing that the world is like this but if it was the same then why is a bat not seeing what a human is seeing and what a mole is seeing it is just it is just our perception that is a limitation of this body mind complex that is why i see the table like that as a table so i don't have to treat it as a table you treat it as a table because the body mind complex has been born of this conditioning there is no other option for it the body and mind is a product of this same conditioning so you will have to for the rest of the life till you kick the bucket you will have to work and do whatever you have to do in this world but we established in the nova recognizing that this is just mithya and i'm playing a game you remember that shri krishna calls it leela it's called a leela or a game why because i'm the knower now i know oh i've woken up it is a game it is just an illusion i'm sitting at that table and drinking tea but really it is knowingness sitting at the table and it has sprouted as a perception of the table and the perception of the tea yeah and the sensation of the tea and the thoughts of the tea but everything is just knowingness everything is just ramana there are no objects out there jagat mithya so for the body mind complex there are objects i decided the lower and sink all the same when you are in the nova you just welcome everything let everything come whatever it is slowly slowly you will stop treating them as objects the lust for objects the lust for money for things will start reducing you will notice that the ego has started crumbling because this ego was the one that said i like and i dislike no you start scrambling because now you're so established in nova this nova just knows itself just knowing this that's it yeah though the objects and all will be there the people will be there your family is not going to be there the people will be there your family is not going to disappear the family is there very much yeah but you know that i am playing a game i'm playing a game for a while and then i come and rest so when when i am completely in the knowingness whatever that i is i see no difference between me and you correct there is no difference that is why when to enlighten people meet there is nothing to talk there is nothing to do they don't go to the casino and play yeah they there is just silence between them yeah when buddha and mahavira once met at a guest house in a village where coincidentally both had gone for separate talks to give separate talks when they coincidentally met there was just silence because connection was happening at this level of knowingness there was no need to jump out and play the game because the other person also knows the knowingness i don't have to play the game anymore with this person so the connection happened at the level of knowingness is that clear the same thing can happen with you yes provided we become a little dispassionate about this world and all our likes and dislikes of course because of habit patterns i will keep going there again remind yourself and come back here yeah it's not really just separating yourself from the world that is important but seeing this knowingness in everything is important that it is the one ocean of non-duality there are no two that's just the noise god
