Eastern wisdom aims at self-discovery. Self-discovery leads to self-knowledge. The journey to self-discovery help us to know what is existence and what is the world and who we are. When we recognize ignorance causes suffering because we are false that leads to a lot of challenges in daily life. When we follow the path of Eastern wisdom, it helps us realize our wrong notions, and misconceptions, and awaken us to our real self. The real self is pure consciousness of the nature of permanent peace, happiness, love truth, and wisdom. That is the highest meditative state, set by our masters. Listen, learn, contemplate, and reflect on the topics mentioned in the title, then practice regularly to move from ignorance to wisdom.

First before we continue close your eyes and being comfortable so that being comfortable is always present behind the reflected consciousness that is the individual the mind it is the mind says I am I am NOT so we just move without paying too much of attention to the unwanted unwelcome thoughts and then we recognize the sensation comfort and steadiness then we recognize the space and the space is awareness and the awareness is the space to replace the unwanted unwelcome thoughts we are not fighting with it thoughts are coming and going let them come and go we just introduce that is what happens you're not interrupting the reflected consciousness but you are introducing through the same consciousness that is the mind Sarveshamswasterbhavatu Sarveshamswasterbhavatu Sarveshamswasterbhavatu Sarveshamswasterbhavatu Sarveshamswasterbhavatu Sarveshamswasterbhavatu Sarveshamswasterbhavatu so we do not stop simply by chanting listening and learning obviously demands the meaning may there be happiness for all now where the direction of the mind goes we have to make a choice we have a free intellect I have understood the meaning so we will extract the knowledge that is where the listening by learning comes so may there be happiness for all I am in stress it is the mind that is saying so I say oh happiness is our essential nature mind says no don't you see that I'm in stress I have lot of problems mind says then why you are searching for peace and happiness we have to extract instead of a non-thinker by the power of discernment we become a thinker we make a choice we choose and that changes the state of the mind oh yes I'm seeking I'm seeking happiness that's not a an issue I have been seeking happiness all the time and I want happiness in all the location at all the time in all the relations should I listen to the mind we get a real answer so the listening should translate into an awareness in the beginning it will not happen why it will not happen the mind gives another objection I feel the stress but I don't feel the happiness so there's a two things feeling and the thought so we have practiced over stress and anxiety for so many years so feeling is it's no now I'm practicing through the thought to awaken the feeling so when you repeat the thought it will definitely results into a feeling we have already practiced of stress of anxiety of duality of a conflict of unwanted thoughts we are entertaining them so that's why the thought comes with the feeling so this is the process of definitely not only listening and learning but also the contemplation then Sarvesham Sarvesham Shantir Bhavatu you know the mind is singing the thoughts of the stress and anxiety and we are singing let may there be peace for all so a non-seeker understands okay my ego says let I am blessing peace for everyone no this is not the meaning so we extract the knowledge because peace is my essential nature peace is the essential nature of all the beings on this planet in the cosmos and I am also seeking peace because peace is my essential nature I'm not seeking stress I'm not seeking anxiety I can falsify what is not me and mine that thinking process so what happens I move from being a non-thinker to a thinker teacher's job is not to impress teacher's job in the eastern western is to reveal help the seeker to reveal in his or her intellect that yes definitely peace is my essential nature why I'm running after men is in distress there is always a mismanagement Sarvesham Puranam Bhavatu may there be completeness in all now I'm divided how can I be complete so that is the main objections coming from the ignorant mind and that listening and learning makes me aware makes me understand how I am complete I'm always complete why I'm always complete and whole because I'm created by the whole so I have to be whole there is no question if I'm created by the whole I will be unholy no no but I become incomplete so because of that in sense of incomplete I make an effort effort in which direction to fulfill the desire what is that desire desire is to seek happiness outside peace outside so you see the journey first I have a feeling or a thought that I'm incomplete why it is there it is because of the non-thinking it comes from the impulsive mind and so we have the unwanted unwelcome thoughts in the mind they make an entry from the back door so there I'm introducing that I'm whole I'm complete how come I'm complete because peace is my nature happiness is my nature and I'm seeking peace and happiness outside so here we find a separation of the false eye with the real eye how it is possible on one hand peace and happiness are my essential nature on the other hand I'm seeking peace and happiness from the world outside should I stop all my professional activities and go into solitude in the Himalayas no you are already in a solitude that real self that peace and happiness because it does not need anything no demand it is always there so solitude means a differentiation a separation from the false eye and the real eye don't you remain almost still while driving the car the car is moving car is taking me to one place to the other that is the job of the mind that is how the mind evolves but the real self is not going anywhere you take a flight so you keep sitting the mind has reached from one place to the other the body has reached from one place to the other not the real self it is like the space the space is whole why it is infinite so whatever is whole is also infinite all-pervading that is what we are searching that is our nature Sarvesham Mangalam Bhavatu let there be auspiciousness for all that is what the meaning is again we have to extract the knowledge if I create an auspicious moment whatever I can create I create I does not remain forever whatever is the result of an action it does not remain it wants a repetition oh so I have to keep on practicing professional speciousness no your speciousness is a total acceptance a recognition of what where I am what is my age gender relations the world outside my personal and professional side I have a total acceptance in the mind pain pleasure anxiety duality well wealth no wealth there is a total acceptance why existence is not fool that existence is super intelligence so that existence has put me into the family into relationship into my personal and professional and family life that is the best I can think of what happens you are treating the mind by recognizing that existence is putting the speciousness to me all the time you live into that state of grace and the blessing coming from the existence you think every day when you wake up in the morning you wake up in the morning thanks God I'm alive because of you forget about the desires and anxiety and duality and I'm alive first I don't have a control over my life and the death of this body it is only you existence who graced me who blessed me to live today let me live with you with total acceptance that sense of the thought creates a genuine feeling from inside yes that is true so in presence of that speciousness in presence of that speciousness all over stress anxiety duality dissolves if it dissolves we are a seeker if it doesn't dissolve repeat it again so one day when you continue to do it for every day in the morning before going to the well during the day also remember you have a problem first recognize existence is gracing me blessing me oh the problem is there oh I will find the solution difficulty is there so yes I will make the difficulty easy why with the support and the grace of the existence this what exactly happens in everyone's life our ego interferes and then there is an uncontinuity of the struggle and anxiety in our life representative of the real self so when I respect my teacher I am respecting all the teachers of this tradition how come they are different no they are not different they are teaching the same thing they have been teaching the same thing so somewhere we find an altar whether a teacher or a God or the highest vision in my life that is what represented by the Om Shanti three types of suffering we superimpose Shanti so that it can be falsified all the physical mental and the natural suffering in our life so the more we contemplate with any mantra we just we did one example of that so whatever the mantra that you like every day in the morning or maybe during the day or you simply remember one line why we want to get rid of that reflected consciousness representing the false side claiming that it is real has to be done by me bring your awareness on the right hand bring your awareness on the left hand lift your both the palms place it on your eyes open the eyes and sight bring the hands down we are laying a foundation of the contemplation this is one way to contemplate you pick up any principle pick up any principle so I have heard it I have understood let me extract the knowledge and let me so this process because you remain focused on the real self of the nature of peace of the nature of happiness the nature of auspiciousness of the nature of completeness simple example of contemplation our mind keeps on contemplating I am in stress I have a lot of problem today oh what should I do now I have to solve this problem come on you cognize the problem difficult make it easy let my intellect make it easy how by contemplation and reflection don't move in another direction what is the another direction oh my honey is not listening to me he or he has made my life crazy no you made your life crazy I have to contemplate and reflect because it is an outcome of non-thinking why nothing else in the world is responsible for my my stress and suffering and anxiety once I have that sense of awareness by the thought and a feeling I am already invoking the auspiciousness from the existence so that should change my behavior and attitude so listening and learning I we discussed about it listening and learning by the teacher first time obviously it is a preparation for contemplation and reflection and repeat listening and learning results into a deeper state of contemplation and reflection then you see even the problem is an opportunity adversity is an opportunity whatever the wealth we have to get we will definitely get by product you will have to pay me if it is in my product so I am always free so no idea of a desire to teach you because of the wealth so idea is not there Prarabdha will take care of but it does not mean Prarabdha should come with the Purushartha,

Purushartha means I have to make an effort conscious effort so when they both meet they both meet life is peaceful when they both they don't meet Prarabdha is not there and I am making an extraordinary effort failure comes and I get more frustrated and ultimately after repetition again the Prarabdha and the Purushartha meets and it brings the result why not start with this meeting point it has to come through the contemplation and reflection it has to come when we move over mind from non-thinker to a thinker with the power of discernment and dispassion make a project now I have to earn million dollar no issue at all but with a discernment and dispassion this is my project let me make an effort mind should remain calm because if I have a desire so what happens that attachment comes I did not get it what I projected so that depends on many factors that depends on many hundreds of factors you made a negotiation with someone and now he has been transferred now you have to enter into another negotiation finished it happens all the time you move with so called the sense of attachment to your honey and honey says don't disturb me there are hundreds of many hundreds of factors so we work with the discernment and dispassion discernment and dispassion comes by thinking clearly results into clarity and conviction that is what the Manan is second step we have heard it and then now we have to contemplate again and again so what is the another way to understand Manan?

Manan means or contemplation means you are reinforcing the knowledge that you have learnt in the listening the mind will definitely oppose it until the impurity is there until the opposite until the mind remains impure you wake up in the morning and you are full of anxiety the other day you are full of seeking the pleasure third day you are definitely calm and peace so all these situations mental state will continue to be there because of the impurity of the mind so it means I have yet to contemplate and reflect to a point where the entire world outside in its situation and condition people and relations and the mental state keeps on changing because of my impulsive nature I have to introduce the real self there look at the real self that does not change it is presence the consciousness is always present consciousness is always present consciousness is always that all-pervading consciousness is always present when I say I am in stress the I that consciousness is present I am happy that I is conscious present now I fight with you I is still present so what happens that I becomes the fight and the stress and the pleasure we become objective that comes because of non-thinking there is no other reason I lost my subjectivity I recognize now I recognize that real self is this situation the real self is this stress real self is this anxiety our master gives a beautiful example of I discussed about it before also red hot iron ball iron ball cannot be red it cannot be hot but it is superimposed you leave the I of a red hot iron ball it goes into its essential nature it becomes again the black or the steel gray and then the same thing fire is not like a ball it does not have any shape so where the red hot iron ball exists it exists in delusion contemplation removes that delusion contemplation removes that delusion honey is angry and I was upset recognize that upset and anger lives in the delusion it has no foundation it comes by discernment and dispassion so discernment and dispassion are the two factors which is important in the journey of after the shravan the contemplation has to be there this is what we are understanding what we have to do in our daily life to get rid of these unwanted unwelcome thoughts in our life and we have minimum 1 million areas to make ourselves upset honey today you cooked pasta very good I like it but yesterday was so bad so yesterday I got angry and today she cooked the pasta very good and I again become angry why I become angry when you know you can make the pasta so good why you did not make it yesterday when you know you can make the pasta so good why you did not make it yesterday result of non-thinking apply that with your employees also apply that with your employees also apply that in all the relationships so when the mind lives in a non-thinking mode it rationalizes and it forces us to live in the stress and there the role of the contemplation is very high the greater the level of contemplation and reflection it is going on in your mind nobody is knowing you are simply changing that but no no but the stress is real no stress is not real anxiety is real no it is not real why?

You see another part of the contemplation as if you are contemplating I am talking to you I am talking to your mind why it is not real today you are in stress yesterday you were in stress now so when you were not in stress yesterday you are in stress today it means you will not be in stress tomorrow also so that very level of the stress can be falsified hence it is a delusion what is false if it is falsified it is not my nature so we should reach to that level of contemplation and reflection in our mind because this mind keeps on attracting those impurity unwanted unwelcome thoughts all the time and that creates billions of impressions in every cell of the body and then it takes the shape of the behavior and the action is performed on that basis because I am a seeker so I live in higher level of awareness my friend with that higher level of awareness I treat the anxiety there and then I treat the stress there and then I don't allow it to keep on boiling itself I don't keep the iron ball on the fire so it keeps burning it gives me an impression oh this is a red hot iron ball we become the red hot iron ball we don't allow it to settle down because of the non-thinking so listening and learning it means that I am paying attention to what is listening and learning but contemplation reflection now I start I use the mind or intellect the way we take our pleasures casually take all the problems casually in this way at least I am alive existence is gracing me come on that's how I recognize this problem and the existence has given me this problem to solve it to make it easy it is not with animals that is the power of thinking contemplation and reflection we have to use in our personal life we have to use in our social life family life relations find out is this the time to withdraw yourself?

Yes withdraw withdraw not keeping the anger inside withdraw with the calmness when this Mike sent me in a message now I am using two characters Mike and Michelle so that nobody gets upset that I am talking about them so this Mike not no not Mike Michelle sent me a message you see that you know I kept calm very calm and he does not understand I have left him it is a hypocrisy you have to leave the stress you are expecting so much from your honey that expectation must go then you withdraw that is the withdrawal of the mind so you are not fighting outside you are fighting inside why because of non-thinking so did I responded her no I said wonderful you cannot understand continue the journey she wrote me she does not understand and he always looks crazy and I am done with him and that's why I am keeping silence I have withdrawn myself you are a hypocrite I did not write to her but that is the fact but now in those moments of hypocrisy the mind of it you are not it is not a mind of a seeker you won't listen my simple response wonderful very good unless you become a seeker then only I can talk to you you should give me some opportunity to rule over your crazy mind she never gives me the opportunity so that is the power of contemplation and reflection so once we start applying this mananam in our daily life we are prepared for another level of contemplation we contemplate how me and my honey are different these are the two individual consciousness I see the difference at the level of physical body level of color level of age level of impulses and impurities in the mind the level of behavior and expression so we find that difference at the level of body and mind and emotions but we still see somewhere we both are individual and the individual is reflected consciousness so I see the difference on the basis of two individuals because of reflected consciousness the ultimate cause is consciousness and that consciousness is the same in both two objects are different how can you prove objects are non-living so here we are entering into another level of contemplation what is that?

Every matter contains electron proton and neutron they are constantly changing moving in their definite direction in water we always have two atoms of hydrogen anywhere in any location in any part of the world it cannot happen without the intelligence that intelligence is nothing but the consciousness present in the water think let us think how the brick one over the other becomes so stable wall if the brick does not have an intelligence to be placed one over the other how can it be stable?

We are moving into another direction pay attention to this it is because of intelligence you cannot have intelligence without consciousness the non-living things do not have an instrument to manifest the consciousness so don't talk about the consciousness talk about the intelligence mosquito why the mosquito can easily find the blood on the human beings?

Why does not go to the other places and eat whatever goes in front of the mosquito?

No,

Intelligence find out the entire cosmos works in orderliness look at the earth for the billions of years of the existence of the earth and the sun they did not move from their location a one millimeter of change in their location will destroy the entire galaxy it is because of intelligence everything is orderliness you sow a mango in the orange tree the same fertilizer the same ground the same ground one gives the orange tree and the other gives the mango one is sweet,

The other is sour intelligence amaze yourself,

Surprise yourself so that you can connect to the existence that is the way to expand your consciousness,

Expand your mind that is the power of contemplation and reflection then I treat every object this mouse is not working and I get angry,

I throw it it is my expression,

Nothing happens to the mouse I move with the responsibility no,

This entire world is a manifestation of the same consciousness so we are going deeper so initially we said matter is one part and the consciousness is other but even in the matter the consciousness is hidden forget about consciousness,

You see the intelligence why you have copper element,

Why you have hydrogen,

Why you have oxygen there must be some orderliness there must be some orderliness,

There must be some intelligence we made gold as a costly matter,

For existence everything is same but where the coal mines are there,

Coal is costlier than the gold it is a false notion those countries who import coal for energy requirement for their nuclear plant even for them the coal is good we see from the blind eye that is impulsive nature that can be removed by contemplation and reflection that is the beauty you have reached to that state so once you have reached to that state now we are entering little deeper look at anything in the world outside,

Any object any object,

Any tree,

Any living being tiger is not as intelligent as us but the tiger knows what food they want cows need what food they want so it is one consciousness so that one consciousness present in everything,

In every being at all the moment,

It is all pervading beyond time and the location is the God the location is the God is the God,

Manifest God how can I fight with the God manifest in the world because I love God so I am deviating and then I will come back why there is a deviation?

Because I love that God that takes us to Bhakti Yoga because simply saying that love thy neighbors as you love yourself it will not happen unless we recognize through the contemplation and reflection we are just hypocrite,

I have to fight with my neighbor otherwise I love my neighbor it does not work,

I have not changed my mind I have not become a seeker,

It does not work we constantly say,

We post it on the Facebook and all the social media love thy neighbor as I love myself oh Jesus said,

To whom you are saying,

Are you saying to yourself or are you saying to others?

So by posting you claim that I am saying it for others not for myself so we have to change from non-thinker to a thinker contemplation and reflection we instantly become aware what happens when you wake up in the morning when you reach the source,

The ultimate cause is the intelligence if the water does not contain that intelligence the water in your country and my country will definitely be different if there is not one source that's how there are two sources of Microsoft and Apple Steve Jobs made iPhone and Bill Gates made Microsoft but even behind both of them,

Inside both of them it is the same intelligence is working so we look at the surface level we look at the individual level,

Go behind intelligence is common whether it's Steve Jobs or Elon Musk or your president Zelensky or Biden it is same intelligence intelligence is one my perception and projections are different so the contemplation and reflection helps me to discover a sense of unity as if one consciousness is pervaded everywhere and it is working all the time then we also need to contemplate and reflect I am laying a ground for the contemplation and reflection in this session so Jeevan Jagat Jeeva means individual and Jagat is the world I always say I am an individual,

The entire word is I think it doesn't matter,

I have to discover the oneness how that oneness can be explored Jeeva,

Individual is made up of the body,

Breath,

Mind,

Intellect and ego it is all matter,

The entire word is matter both are matter,

Oneness I see the difference at the surface level that I can move my hand,

Mouse cannot move by itself I am looking the word at a very surface level why?

Because it is because of non-thinking so the contemplation and reflection helps us to discover what exactly is the ultimate cause why the earth has been moving since billions of years why the sun is moving on its revolves around its center for so billions of years why?

What is the ultimate cause?

It means there has to be some intelligence without intelligence it cannot work intelligence means I know,

I know means consciousness I am using the word I know and that very I is consciousness consciousness is intelligence when I discover that sense of oneness deeper inside my intellect all my problems are nothing but an opportunity for me oh there is a problem,

Let me make it easy,

No issue you cannot avoid problem the world is constantly changing one set of change is perceived as a problem another set of change is perceived as an opportunity only the human being can recognize it can turn the problem into an opportunity so that is what the oh I am laying the foundation so we have to find out how they are different and how they are not the individual and the world outside then what about the world and the supreme consciousness what about the world and the God?

We have lot of questions whether the God created the world if the God created the world then the God is subjected to change if the God is subjected to change then God is constantly changing it means they have to perform an action if they have to perform an action means sometime they will succeed and sometime they will fail so I rejected the God to succeed I accepted the God to succeed it will not make any change in my life I have to find out I create anything it means I am acting I am making an effort no effort is complete so the God created the world or the presence of the water water manifested the waves manifestation so instead of creation I am using manifestation I was born for example 1951 January just take an example so before that I was unmanifest where I was?

I was in the womb of the mother where I was?

Just 9 months before who is this I?

I is an intelligence it is the consciousness it is all pervading it was already present it has taken the shape of the body so it manifested it will become unmanifest what manifest it will become unmanifest do whatever you want also only in the presence of that consciousness or that supreme intelligence which we call the God everything is happening in the world of change yes even everything changes in the presence of that consciousness the consciousness does not change why?

It is present everywhere it does not need to change it is all pervading that's how we define it is eternal beyond the time consciousness was present before the birth of the body it will continue to be present now it will continue to be present after the death of the body birth and the death are manifestation and unmanifestation when we remove these confusions from the mind confusion means misconception wrong notion,

Wrong ideas then what happens?

You keep on contemplating and reflecting like this so what happens?

Your behavior changes our behavior is a response from our past impression you are honey so you should behave like this so I should also behave like this I am behaving like this why you are not behaving like this?

So there is a problem that supreme consciousness,

That intelligence did not reach to a level of a seeker that's why my honey is misbehaving it's okay,

It's a part of the life let it happen but I am ready to act so because of that contemplation and reflection your mind reveals how you have to respond to an outer situation you cannot make a framework that this is the way I should respond to this person every time the response should be different so through the contemplation and reflection a true insight comes your intuitive faculty opens up in Kundalini it happens we say that energy goes up and now you have an intuitive,

You have a vision,

You have a vision now you have an intuitive,

You have a vision etc.

Etc.

Yes,

That too is true but it takes minimum 15 to 20 years to do that because you are not recognizing the impurities you have recognized the impurities by contemplation and reflection what are the impurities?

I see,

What I see?

Two individuals are different I see two objects are different I see the individual and the world is different I see the individual and the God is different I see the world and the God are different there are five differences as long as I continue to see that's why it takes 20 years you keep on doing the breathing mantra and three hours of practice in the morning three hours in the evening doing Kundalini that can be resolved just by contemplation and reflection think,

Think that is why we say because we do not become aware of those impurities that is why we say there are dangers in doing the Kundalini if you are a seeker there is no danger so what happens you know then Kundalini meditation continues you have lot of visions then the teacher says you should have this vision so your mind focuses say for example on the blue color on the triangle or on the hexagon or on the Lord Ganesha there are many chakras,

Every chakra has a God which can easily be resolved by becoming a seeker and doing the contemplation and reflection and the chances are there that I am attached to all the visions and the colors and then you enter into a greater impurity,

Greater ignorance and still your mind claims I have such a beautiful experience as you continue to live in this stress and suffering 99.

9% of the people going for this Kundalini meditation happens it took me 20 years to have this vision so I will continue to live with that vision,

It becomes a habit so mind has started ruling you,

I have to transcend the mind only by the knowledge,

By understanding,

By contemplation and reflection I know I am aware mind you are repeating yourself,

I don't want you you don't have that cognition because you are guided and dictated by great visions those visions and colors also come in daily life when you have that contemplation and reflection your mind is clear,

Whenever you need that vision it will come whenever you will it,

It comes you need not to spend 20 years on that yes,

It is for those seekers who do not understand it is a good journey Manan means contemplating on the real self only the real self just hearing the truth won't be enough one has to reflect,

One has to ponder,

One has to contemplate the words of our teachers one has to use those teachings in one's life very important point one has to start using this teaching in one's life,

Why?

Vasana is living our life,

We have to replace it the moment we wake up,

Our Vasana also takes the shape of an agenda in the calendar of events today we have set we are going deeper because Vasana is all placed out in our life we are led by the Vasana,

We are not leading the Vasana from the waking to an awakening state and it can easily be done by contemplation and reflection that is why we have to listen,

We have to do the repeat listening one time,

Now is my mind clear?

Now let me listen to it so the more and more you listen and contemplate your mind starts awakening to some because of the reflection it awakens to the intuitive faculty oh,

This is the message of the teacher it doesn't take your anxiety to dissolve more than a fraction of a second otherwise we are always pushed and pulled by the Maya that is what the delusion is so when we say that we use contemplation and reflection it means that you do so much of contemplation and reflection that every time these principles are in your mind they are present in your mind it is ready to face any situation,

Condition and relationship so the Vasana that has made color blindness is now gone honey is angry,

Who recognizes my Vasana?

Now I am a higher level of a seeker that intellect recognizes because she wants to fulfill her expectation and I am not fulfilling that's why she is angry so let me see in what way I can do done,

Your mind has changed completely it is not accumulating more impressions it has found the way very good honey,

Let us sit oh this is what is your expectation,

I will do fulfill that I cannot fulfill that,

You are very clear you directly approach,

You go to the root of the problem you don't react at the surface level if you are angry don't you think that I can also become angry?

I am also right?

The worst time the form of the ego takes care of the personality and the entire personality is destroyed that's why the constant remembrance or you can say the constant awareness comes because of contemplation and reflection listening and learning is okay repeat listening and learning until the knowledge is settled in the mind I wake up in the morning,

Only one thing I remember,

My master and in reference to the master I also pay respect to all the masters who passed on the tradition,

Knowledge to my master so it means I am paying respect to all the masters all the gods and goddesses why?

There are no two individuals we covered those five differences you see the way our master has taught us there are no two individuals my master,

His master,

He is also my master 5000 years ago Buddha,

Buddha is also my master Jesus is my master all the gods and goddesses who are present,

Who are not present physically why?

Two individuals are not there two individuals are there because of the color because of the time in which they physically existed that one intelligence continues to exist what I am doing?

I am separating the individual self which is causing lot of stress and anxiety in my life and I am approaching to the near self followed by the practice so third step obviously is known as Nididhyasana which is known as mindfulness or meditation or Samadhi many words by the different teachers so when any master uses that it is the first stage of Samadhi it means it is meditation no,

It is only a beginning it is a premeditation it is the third stage of Samadhi so it is meditation it is the final stage of Samadhi,

It is really Samadhi many masters use the word Samadhi other masters use the word mindfulness third master the nomenclature is unreal we have to think and we see that let me settle into meditation after contemplation and reflection and then you sit down and you see you are just sitting you are just sitting so after a degree and intensity of contemplation and reflection you can now so called practice meditation anytime,

Anywhere mind is already closed and unwelcome,

Unwanted thoughts are there they are too far from you because now the vasana is not leading your mind it is your power of discernment and dispassion and the knowledge is leading the mind vasanas are there,

Let it be there,

Who cares so because of regular practice,

Regular contemplation and reflection those vasanas also are minimized,

Reduced to at a minimum level so even being comfortable and carefree is the step and that step continues in the entire meditation you are already comfortable,

You are already carefree why I should do the next step I am already comfortable,

I need not to do it mind is sometimes attached to oh I have not done this step,

I have not done this step forget about it I am already comfortable,

I have already reached my home I have unwanted thoughts but they are not disturbing me they are not multiplying itself and creating vasanas they are not hesitating me do I need to practice now?

Think,

We have to think after all when I drive my car to my home one time I have to stop how long I will drive?

How long?

So I get that feeling I am already comfortable thoughts are there but not disturbing me they are too far from me the body is there,

Not disturbing me everything is so clear in me oh everything is so clear in me oh very good so what happens?

We reach to that state we find that intelligence which is ruling the entire existence what happens?

Then the mind expands why it expands?

Because the real self is all-pervading then we recognize the mind can work as an instrument and once it works as an instrument,

The vasana has no role to play vasana continues to exist because as long as the vasana,

Body exists,

The vasana is there it may be in any form I have a vasana to express myself,

To teach that is why it is existing but it is a good vasana it doesn't harm anyone,

It doesn't harm me let it be who cares?

Let it be let me express my peace and happiness,

That is also a vasana let it be because you have discovered the oneness and once we discover that oneness,

That is what the awakening is
