Eastern wisdom aims at self-discovery. Self-discovery leads to self-knowledge. The journey to self-discovery helps 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.

So,

Narada's story,

Last time it is our own story.

Every day,

In one or the other event,

Provided or on a condition that when the mind says I am stressed,

I have lot of challenges in my life,

I do not know what to do and I have taken some action.

What is the reason?

Sorry,

What is the reason?

Reason is simple.

You see that listening and learning in the beginning of a session is a passive.

It's a passive.

You remain passive.

You are simply listening and learning,

Isn't it?

But when you are inert,

Your mind remains inert because of the presence of the impurities,

Then we do not receive,

Retain and assimilate that knowledge.

Are you getting it?

Again,

I am saying,

I am listening and learning passively,

I am alert and aware.

That is one part.

And second part of the mind is that it is inert inside.

Okay,

I understand.

Intellectually I understand.

Then what?

Go ahead,

Continue.

You do the practice.

But something is inert inside.

So one part of the mind is listening and learning passively with awareness and attention.

But the mind deeper inside the second layer is totally inert.

That is why it is taking a long time.

Are you getting it?

Active listening is there.

We are active by listening and learning,

But inert and passive inside.

We take it as if the passive listening and learning is also passively assimilating the knowledge.

Why it is happening?

Impurities and enemies of the mind that we discussed much before.

So then what happens?

Okay,

I understood.

I will take care of later.

I am upset now.

I have emotional issues.

I will.

.

.

This is what happens.

Because of the enemies and the impurities.

Let me give you my own example.

Perhaps Jerry knows that during the last four years,

I have never been absent on a single session.

Now it's not a matter of arrogance and pride.

Only one thing the mind is active inside while listening passively.

What it means?

I left the likes and dislikes.

Then it is very easy.

It's a play and a fun.

Then you cannot leave any session.

It is that value in the mind should be settled to remove the enemies and the impurities of the mind.

Now see the other way of it.

Why I didn't leave this session?

Because I'm answerable to you.

You may have challenges on a particular day and your mind has thought that let me attend the session.

I may get some something out of it.

So that inspires me not to skip the session.

Do you think that I don't go outside?

I go outside.

Actually I was in,

Jerry knows,

You know,

Arizonians know Sedona and I was in Sedona and from there I took the session.

Pay attention what I'm saying.

Very important.

I'm explaining a reason why Narada did what he did in the last session.

I am answerable to you all.

You may have challenges and if I skip the session you should not be benefited.

So if you are answerable to yourself then you are a seeker.

You are answerable to yourself.

The seeker teacher relationship is more at the subtler than the physical and mental level.

So what happens to me?

Now I have a lot of stress today so that's why I'm not it.

No,

That is why you should attend.

I am upset.

That is why you should attend.

Now I have a pain.

That is why I should attend.

So what prevents you?

You get a thought of likes and dislikes.

Then you imagine joy in this sorrow.

Then you imagine jealousy in the hatred.

The entire vicious circle continues and that blocks you.

And then we have a lame excuses in our life.

Lame,

Totally unwarranted excuses.

It is because of the enemies and the impurities and the obstacles on the path.

Now see another part that is extremely important.

Never forget this.

Nothing outside is complete in itself.

Can I use another word?

Conclusive.

You have a headache today that's why you are not attending the session.

Very good.

Is the headache conclusive?

In the evening you don't have a headache and tomorrow again you have a headache.

Sometime people have headache with me also.

So that's a different issue.

That's a different issue.

Last week you know there was a.

.

.

You know in private lesson you know I hammer their mind directly.

So this guy first told me that I have you know Hudson River by the side apartment on the 28th and 29th floor.

I'm not giving you the name of the apartment.

So I see the waves and etc.

Etc.

He said okay.

So I told him that you join me because there is a storm of waves inside your mind.

When you look inside you calm down those waves of the mind.

It is conclusive once and for all.

But the waves outside will never be conclusive.

It will rise,

It will fall.

Are you getting it?

It is a very simple way to understand.

Any activity outside guided and dictated by the likes and dislikes will never be conclusive,

Complete in itself.

It will not bring an end to the journey of likes and dislikes.

It will create another journey.

So what makes it complete and conclusive?

You know the real self.

That knowledge,

That consciousness,

That awareness.

And when it is conclusive you are.

.

.

You have purified the mind.

You are a great seeker.

And that is what happened to the Narada.

Where the Narada went.

.

.

He is a palmist,

He is an astrologer,

He was a polymath,

He went to the princess.

Why?

What is his role?

The role was to see and check.

But he went beyond his role.

Why?

The inertness in the mind because of the likes and dislikes created a passion,

A desire for seeking happiness with the princess.

Now ask yourself,

Is it not happening to all of us every day?

In terms of the food that you like,

You go to a restaurant,

You don't get the food,

You're frustrated.

Oh,

Let us go to another restaurant.

You have created that impression.

So it repeats itself.

Likes and dislikes.

Same thing with your relationship.

Now apply the same thing.

Nothing is conclusive and complete in the world because the world outside is a matter of delusion.

What appears true is not true.

I am seeking peace and happiness.

I have superimposed peace and happiness outside.

Is your headache conclusive?

Tomorrow you may have.

Is your health conclusive?

No,

Health and sickness are dynamic state.

We pay too much attention because of that attention we get obsessed.

We are caught with the likes and dislikes.

Unstable,

Unreliable,

Uncertain,

Unpredictable movement that takes place in the world outside at every moment.

Long back,

I think two years ago,

David pointed me out that no,

You have to connect.

You have to check the internet connection.

And that inspired me to understand more and more about this internet.

Oh,

Even Dennis pointed me that you do this.

He's a IT expert.

And then I started learning.

I said,

No,

Let me learn and remove these unstability,

Unreliability from my side.

And what happens in the world,

I will accept it.

So I got the optic fiber connection.

Then I got this mesh Wi-Fi.

I connected and I checked it.

Then I before the session,

I check what is the speed of my internet.

No issue.

Finished.

Internally,

I have to conclude.

Externally,

It will remain inconclusive,

Unstable,

Unreliable.

That is the nature of the world.

How can I get permanent peace and happiness?

Are you getting it?

That is the message.

Of this master and this Narada.

He was caught in that.

He was caught.

He was caught.

What we discussed in the last session.

And then he became a great master.

He wrote the text,

Which is known as Bhakti Sutra.

That explains beautifully what exactly is the love and how to reach and attend that love.

So if we feel that we are more frustrated,

We have a chance to reach to that state of consciousness.

That is the meaning that I have to see that completeness within myself.

Do not allow the mind to remain inert because of the impurities and enemies of the mind.

I have to think.

I have to contemplate.

I have to reflect in my life.

And then see the life becomes so beautiful.

You know that everything outside is inconclusive.

So you don't give too much of value to it.

You love your honey,

For example.

So one day the honey is not in a mood.

He or she makes you upset.

So when you remember that everything outside is inconclusive,

Unstable and unreviable,

You don't get upset.

Are you getting it?

You don't get upset.

That is what we have to do.

I'm just giving you some references of the Gita.

Gita is such a complete text.

It gives you everything.

It gives you everything that we have any doubt it gives you.

Now ask yourself how many times you were upset since the last session?

Five times?

That mind was inert.

You relied on unstable nature of the world outside seeking peace and happiness.

That is why.

Simple.

And it demands only an awareness.

It simply demands an awareness.

Now I was waiting for that you should have cooked this food.

But anyhow you cook this food.

I don't like this.

Like and dislike has come again.

I can give you.

Every day we have more than 50,

000 events at the subtler level,

Physical level,

Emotional level that we claim we do not notice.

Don't notice.

It will create an impression.

It will repeat itself the next day.

And that is what is known as the enemies and the impurities of the mind.

We need to purify it to become the highest level of a seeker.

Are you getting it?

Say yes,

Even if you are not getting it.

So now this Narada,

The same,

Now he is a master.

So we all have the same issues.

We are not born awakened.

We took birth in ignorance with the impurities of the mind.

That is why I cry.

I also cried and you all cried.

For a milk.

For a milk.

And mom breastfed it.

Now what impression the mind has created?

Can you figure out?

He cried.

He was given milk.

So the mind has created an impression without that I-ness present at the time of the birth.

Impression is already there.

If the house is dirty and you enter into the house.

So that ignorance,

What ignorance,

Which impression it created that the peace and happiness is outside.

Mother fed me the milk.

I cried.

I wet the bed and I cried.

Mother changed the bed.

It happens continuously for about six to seven months or maybe about a year.

I think even better.

Those impressions are already present in the mind.

And now I have created an I-ness.

That I-ness starts seeking peace and happiness outside because of the likes and dislikes,

Because of the pain and the pleasure,

Because of the jealousy and the hatred.

And we keep on living that kind of a life where the mind is totally inert.

Because it is dictated by those impressions in our life.

All the time.

All the time.

This is,

We need to remove it.

Think it.

Think.

You need to think.

If you do not think,

It will not happen.

So that is why I told you the stories of the Purana.

More than four hundred thousand verses.

I have not read them.

I have read couple of them.

Where is the turning point in our life?

What is the turning point of the mind?

Not the turning point of the life.

You have been attending the session,

So obviously it's a turning point in your life.

But not the turning point of the mind.

So now see,

For example,

You said that you have a headache and that is why you are not attending the session.

What is,

How the mind.

.

.

Mind is inert.

Because I find a sense of helplessness.

Define helplessness.

You have a logical argument that,

You know,

Because of this I am not attending the session.

Define helplessness.

Whatever the knowledge that I have is limited.

It does not question what difference it will,

Whether I will continue to have a headache attending this session.

So then what happens?

Then I choose,

Which I say self-evident.

Which I say self-medication.

I say over-the-counter medication.

What it means?

I find over-the-counter medications for problems of my jealousy,

For my likes and dislikes,

For my emotional dependence.

Enough is enough.

Let me talk to the lawyer.

Over-the-counter medication.

Headache.

We already have over-the-counter medication.

I am pissed off by,

You know,

American slang,

I am pissed off because of my parents.

So I am blaming and complaining and relying on the inert mind that carries the impression of these impurities.

That is the one option that we normally take.

99% of the emotion,

Because the mind is blocked.

When the mind is blocked,

The knowledge of what you heard in a session will not return.

And if it does not return,

Then you will continue to have a headache.

And if it does not return,

Then you will continue to have the same.

That is one option we normally choose.

So who chooses?

The non-seeker chooses that action.

You all have one day or the other,

Even you may have those options that you have chosen,

You may remember.

The second option is that let me seek help of the Eastern wisdom.

Any problem in your life,

Physical,

Mental,

Emotional,

Relationship,

Situational,

Conditional,

And that should happen in the mind that should invoke your thinking.

What knowledge of the Eastern wisdom is going to help me at this moment?

You choose the second option.

That is what Narada did and he became a master.

So ultimately every seeker becomes the master in the life.

That is where we are aiming at.

As I said,

At birth we are dictated by,

This is what we say,

We are dictated by Tamoguna.

There are three Gunas that creates the entire world.

Those who understand Tamoguna,

Rajoguna and Satoguna.

Tamoguna means that it makes the mind totally inert,

Material,

Unconscious.

We oppose the knowledge.

We claim that ignorance is the knowledge.

How dare you say to attend my,

Attend the session when I have an extreme headache?

You see,

It looks very logical.

No?

How many of you feel that it looks logical?

It looks logical.

And if I say,

If the Terry which is such a severe condition can attend the session,

Anyone and everyone can attend the session.

If the Ashok went through such a severe accident and still inspired inside,

So the mind is active,

My friend,

It is opposing the ignorance,

It is opposing the enemies.

That level of commitment is required at the mental and the emotional level to bring an end to the suffering completely.

So at the time of the birth,

I have already explained.

So now see that very beautiful principle.

So we are born as an infant and ultimately we are wholly dependent on the outer situation,

Parents and siblings who takes care of this body and the mind.

Isn't it?

Now who makes you active?

Tell me.

Who pushes you to start crawling?

Who makes you to stand up?

That is Rajoguna.

Jerry,

That is Rajoguna.

The existence invokes in me now is the time.

So you see the completeness you find inside,

Not outside.

Even when we are unconscious,

Habitual.

Are you getting it?

Who makes me active?

You know,

Even there is a Rajoguna was Rajoguna means that activity.

Who spurs,

Who invokes that activity in me?

At the time of the birth,

For a few months,

We take food and we sleep for maybe 22-23 hours and gradually it starts decreasing.

Who is decreasing that?

You?

You do not exist.

Existence is helping me.

Existence is helping me.

Are you getting it?

I'll tell you the problem,

Where the problem comes.

So Rajoguna think we continue to live in ignorance,

We keep suffering.

Even at this age I will cry for food and I get the food.

What is the next process of evolution?

Existence shows what exactly?

It makes me active.

I never say when I stand up and fall,

I never say that from today I will never stand up.

Who says you?

Tell me.

It is the consciousness.

It is that existence who is showing me the path.

We have to remind ourselves.

If that is possible,

When I thought was not there,

When ego was not there,

Why it is not there?

Now,

Are you getting it?

Process of evolution.

The process of evolution moves to the second stage that existence makes me active.

But it has to make me active with the likes and dislikes because I like something,

So I have to rush for it.

Why?

Because that pushed me into activity,

Into an action.

That is the second stage of evolution.

Are you getting it?

I'm adding simple things.

So,

Rajoguna,

The activity,

We talk in the so-called spirituality that Rajoguna makes me active.

It is a helper in my.

.

.

When I was a toddler.

When I'm living the life of the childhood,

It is a helper.

Do you see from where the likes and dislikes come?

But as we grow,

Create our identity,

It becomes a barrier.

And that becomes an impurity.

So,

Do you see the origin of these likes and dislikes?

Joy and the sorrow,

Hatred and jealousy,

They come.

That,

Now it is a great barrier in our life.

So,

Here the existence stays.

So,

Here the existence stays.

We have given you an intellect.

What is intellect?

Free will.

What is free will?

I can make a choice.

I can act against.

.

.

I can act against the likes and dislikes or I remain inactive.

Let me get carried away by the impurities of the mind.

The existence now stops.

Existence has given an opportunity.

It says you have a free will.

You have a free.

.

.

Now you can get the knowledge.

You have a choice to act.

You have a choice not to act.

You have a choice to remain frustrated.

Live a life of depression,

Tension,

Stress,

Anxiety,

Duality,

Conflict.

All these are enemies of the mind.

Are you getting it?

So,

That Rajoguna in the second stage of evolution it uses the likes and dislikes as a helper so that I can get different experiences in my life so that I can evolve.

But after that existence says it's your choice.

It does not happen with animal kingdom.

It does not happen with other living species.

So because of those impurities we keep on repeating in anxiousness,

Anger,

And hesitation and obsession.

We are doing the same thing again and again.

How many times you have done?

Tell me.

How many times you were angry over the same issue?

Is it not enough?

Is it not enough?

Are you getting it?

I'm explaining in a different way.

First thing,

Understand the completeness is in myself.

I will remain unstable,

Unreliable,

Anxious,

Agitated when I'm seeking a completeness in relationship to the people,

Situation,

Things in the world outside.

Who is looking?

The mind.

Which mind?

That is totally inert.

Why the mind is inert?

Because of the enemies and the impurities of the mind.

What is to be done?

I have to make it twice.

I have to start thinking why it is happening.

Why I am doing the same thing again and again and expecting a different result.

It is not going to happen.

So with that clarity of understanding now what happens?

You are talking to somebody.

You are talking to someone and the mind says now I am pissed off,

I am angry.

So now you become aware inside.

Before that manifests outside because of the knowledge,

Because of the awareness the mind is now not inert.

It becomes aware and attentive and it holds that anger.

It melts that anger.

It merges.

It dissolves.

Why?

Because you are looking a solution inside a sense of completeness in yourself.

And so when you make a choice it is known as sattva guna.

Sattva guna means knowledge.

It means awareness.

So all the three gunas are responsible for the material entire world,

Ignorance,

Impurities.

Two gunas help me in my evolution because if tamo guna is not active when we were born then I could not sleep for 23 hours which is very important for my physical growth.

Look at the way these masters have created such a beautiful way to understand.

Existence has created.

Existence has created that guna so that I am born and it says cry.

Drink the milk.

Now is the time to sleep.

Mom does not made me sleep.

I slept by my own.

Are you getting it?

And then the same existence is now is the time to become a toddler.

Stand up,

Fall,

Stand up,

Fall,

Be active.

I did not do by myself.

I did not choose that action.

Tell me if you have chosen the action?

There was no I.

So we carry forward the same likes and dislikes,

Same kind of an activity.

That is why the mind is constantly in the state of wandering.

It is hesitated.

And then you say let me control my mind.

How can you control the mind?

You have activated the rajo guna to a higher level.

You have to understand it.

You have to understand it.

We are going deeper in every session so you have to live into you have to keep remembering all those previous lessons so that you can understand.

We will continue our journey further.

That is what happens in a realization to this guy Narada and he recognized he sat in contemplation and reflection.

He said this is what has happened to me.

I should have sought the knowledge of the eastern wisdom that I received intellectually but now that intellect has realized the knowledge problem is gone.

Do you remember the symbolic expression of monkey face?

We have that monkey face almost maybe thousands of times every day.

Because of these impurities of the mind Now I am sorry to say don't get offended you know.

Sometime people get offended it becomes very big problem.

She never returned.

I told you about this corporate life.

She was searching for a job and she left the job.

And now after leaving the job she is still in the same impurities.

What should we do?

Unless you choose.

It is your choice.

If you don't choose it will not happen.

So intellect should go in line with the knowledge of the eastern wisdom that makes the mind from inert to active.

The moment it is active we live in self-awareness.

The moment we live in self-awareness we want to find the solution inside.

When you find the solution inside you do not remain unstable means our mind does not remain unstable and unreliable.

The life takes another course.

Close your eyes.

Let us start our journey.

My friend eyes are closed and you are comfortable.

So in being comfortable what I said you are aware is the mind inert?

I always try to assimilate the knowledge that we discuss in every session and I make it public.

Why?

I know I cannot give the same lesson again and it's not mine.

So do you see any kind of a stress and struggle?

It is because of the inert mind,

The tamsic nature of the mind which carries the impressions of the impurities.

So what I said you remain aware and attentive and then we have an experience of sensation comfort and steadiness then the space which we discussed with you it's a rise in awareness you see that is what I discussed today when we fall in awareness then what we want to do we don't do it and what we should not do it we do it that is the cause of distraction of the mind it happens because of the impurities of the mind being carefree settled in the comfort behind and beyond the current state of the mind the lane one just remember who remembers?

Who recalls this knowledge?

The intellect unwanted unwelcome thoughts are coming okay lane one okay you say just okay and the moment who says okay the lane number two it is the intellect the observer who separates the unwanted thoughts from your who separates itself desert is lane number three you are calm okay thank you unwanted unwelcome thoughts are coming I am okay that is the power of the discernment and the dispassion are awakened in the intellect that perceives that now whatever the thoughts good bad high low never disturb me so it is expressed in the body the body remains totally still we all are seekers and I could see that so that makes you carefree but we say we do not stop there we say mind awaken yourself how?

Sarvesham swasthirbhavatu sarvesham swasthirbhavatu sarvesham so you are thinking is a product of knowledge so you are extracting the knowledge from there that is the meaning of the mantra sarvesham swasthirbhavatu let everyone be happy and your mind travels in the lane where it confirms that happiness is the essential nature of all the living species that is why I introduce this line this mantra to the mind and what it appears outside oh I am seeking the grace and blessing to be happy everyone should be happy no you have no right to say that why?

Because everyone's nature is happiness so what happens you move with the love and compassion what happens it dilutes dissolves those impurities of the mind that is the essence sarvesham swasthirbhavatu sarvesham swasthirbhavatu sarvesham swasthirbhavatu may there be peace for all the same instant knowledge what is do we mean by instant knowledge I see you I know your name and the gender instantly to information I already have it without even saying a word do you have the same knowledge without even thinking we have been contemplating we have been contemplating and reflecting for many many weeks now or your mind is still distracted choice you have to make a choice sarvesham sarvesham puranam bhavatu sarvesham puranam bhavatu you see the mind is the nature of the particular inertness it always wants to follow what is unconscious ignorance and the impurities did you recognize the mistake that my mind made instead of the fourth line I repeated the third line but you are carefree you recognize it that's enough so you correct it may there be we have discussed about that sense of completeness in clearly that is the essence sarvesham mangalam bhavatu sarvesham mangalam bhavatu sarvesham mangalam bhavatu let there be an auspiciousness for all you know the meaning now so now you already know we continue on the journey we don't even if the mind says now I am good no,

Whether you are good or bad I will continue the journey that determination and commitment comes from the intellect puts a pressure on the mind through a step which I say purify the mind by breathing you got it very good so look deep inside the forehead in the space at a point drop Om Shanti and start breathing quick and short breath through both the nostrils into the chest there should be an expansion and contraction of the entire ribcage that you should experience I will continue dropping Om Shanti deep inside the forehead in the space at a point deep on in the state of sensation relaxation and stillness in the body do not stop in the middle exception to a show if you find some pressure around your larynx and the throat then do it very gently I cannot teach these things who just meets me first time that okay you have such a de-serious problem can you do it unless you are committed shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh and stop this do nothing what I used to say recognize accept the changes recognize and accept the changes whatever they are who recognize and accept the changes the intellect you are moving to the sattvic guna you are bypassing the rajasic guna I told you which is a helper at the time of the birth until couple of years and then it becomes the greatest barrier for our evolution om shanti continues deep inside the head and start breathing from the belly little longer breath expansion and contraction of the belly longer breath and you get a hissing sound what it means that you are making a noise of the breath why another point to understand you know we have to understand all those subtle point it remains in the field of the intellect as a knowledge why I said why the why the hissing sound if it is silent you know the mind will hijack the practice it will make you inert again it will put you into deep unconscious sleep look at the detail that subtler level level oh your mind in the rajasic guna and the tamasic guna says I cannot do it for such a longer period so you recognize it and do it are you getting it I believe so now stop this recognize accept the changes that is taking place now you do nothing you are simply aware that is sattvic guna you're doing something that is rajasic guna and in inertness inactivity passivity with the habit which resists the change is tamasic guna no now is the time go on doing the om shanti and now the long deep in the hissing breath from both and now the long deep in the hissing breath from both the from both the belly and the chest so longer and deeper means you are conscious of inhaling first into the belly continue inhaling into the ribcage continue exhaling from the belly follows the ribcage with om shanti continues deep inside your forehead you are bypassing that tamasic nature of the mind and living in a rajasic nature free from the impurities of the mind so what is the result mind will naturally move to sattvic guna that is the reason you experience the change that is why you claim that breathing is helping you you can directly switch on to the sattvic guna that means you are a higher level of a seeker so ashok should be doing very silently without any exertion without any reaction to the throat and the larynx which was affected due to the accident you should have a will to do it you should have a guts to do it beautiful continue and you are fully aware what weirdness means knowledge that knowledge continues that you are in a state of sensation relaxation and stillness in the body mind is looking inside and it is doing om shanti with long deep in the hissing breath with movement of the belly in the ribcage with that is what we do it when we have a complete knowledge continue my friend my friends and stop it do nothing remain as you are recognize the changes and move the mind the cave of your heart vision of a triangle of any color equilateral triangle pointing up upward and now you already know the knowledge if i continue my friend you replaced awareness with the knowledge that is also the same thing knowledge of moving the mind on each side dropping om shanti moving the mind om shanti side that is what is happening and when you find that you're able to think the movement at that moment singing oh mentally push the mind inside the cave of your heart through the triangle and check mind seemingly stops dare you say shanti do nothing do nothing means conscious awareness or a knowledge of the self-absorption where is that self-absorption that I-ness is no more there who created the I-ness the mind now leave the start with the japa om shanti with the mind's touch with the mind's ear with the mind's eye with the mind's speech speech means you are dropping on shanti mind's eye looking at that point mind skin touches it and why we want to keep all the senses inside the mind why you know it shanti shanti shanti shanti shanti shanti oh bring your hand on the right bring your mind on the right hand your mind on the left hand lift your both the palms place it on your eyes open the eyes inside know your experiences bring the hands down we'll share our experiences and if you have anything any question we will also take up how are you Jerry um the meditation was uh deep it was smooth um I like the idea during the talk about choice because I feel like with awareness we always have choice and the choice is empowering and liberating and when we think we don't have choice we have to make choices and we have to make choices and when we think we don't have choice that's when we get stuck you are perfectly right Jerry why when we she says that we don't have a choice when impurities we are stuck with these impurities we don't have a choice otherwise as far as a human being is concerned every human being has a choice are you getting it Sam how are you good um enjoyed the lesson today um today I would describe feeling a little bit more my body felt a little bit more well aligned during good uh the seated posture I'm not sure why why um could that have to do with energy blockages knowledge is more important clarity was there the mind clarity I'm again stressing again and again you have to remind yourself am I hundred percent clear clarity is there conviction is there knowledge is there knowledge means what awareness is there after that we have an awareness of the other experiences but it happens it will happen that's a beautiful way to narrate thank you Sam how are you Terry um okay yep calm good yeah anywhere palm up is better so that you can have better experience of sensations in the vibrations just keep it like okay because uh they were down it's okay if I can I will oh okay I'm having that's good so remember everyone I listened to the monkey very sorry I love you monkey face the impurities of the mind takes over us that is what we need to understand now you see she has Parkinson's when I say she has it it is in her body brain is also a part of the body but she does not have Parkinson's because she is real self that is the knowledge good wonderful how are you Barbara I'm very good thank you um it was a very deep meditation for me today and it ended much too soon oh yeah I just wanted to continue and when I was entering the cave of my heart I kept seeing little pinpoints of light and after that it was just like just waves of peace came over me beautiful that's a that's a kind of a revelation that takes place and that is really good I have you been receiving the audio files no I haven't you have to check your email and let me know okay very good so how are you Dennis let us on this series thank you Gargi fine uh the meditation uh was calm uh peaceful uh there was a sense of uh like alternating warmth and coolness in the head good uh during the breathing and after the breathing uh there was a sense of detachment from all the senses like senses are yeah uh and from the other experiences yes one major point here he has a cooling and the hot sensations that is how our master discovered that there are two flow of the prana one is the hot flow and one is the cold cool flow so what I have been saying that what the masters have written and explained whatever the experiences they have written becomes alive in the journey so we should not get upset by the way that lady you know I told you but I didn't it doesn't mean that I'm criticizing anyone I have no other ways but to cite an example to help you understand I have no other ways so that's why I tell you the stories and the parables and that helps you to understand the point but in no way in one of the session I was where the Dennis translates I explained about and then she said no I'm not going to attend this session I said that's very good but you know that's the way the life is how are you uh Christina I'm well thank you very much um a very deep meditation I felt a coolness and um pressure moving down my temple side of my face and the talk was profound again how I seek for external things to be a certain way yeah um and so just a beautiful reminder yeah yeah you caught up unstable everything outside is unstable don't tell even our honey is also unstable but don't tell her or him because we change our behavior and attitude so the way I change my behavior and attitude so they also change it it is need not to be told but just become aware of it why so that I can move inside stability is inside that changes are you in Arizona not yet next Thursday oh next Thursday okay yeah we'll meet so how are you uh Ashok I'll tell something about Ashok later don't speak too much no we don't hear you now now we hear you Namaskar.

That's enough nothing to worry that's really good you see that summary of today's topic you see that summary of today's topic couple of weeks ago Ashok told me in a very session he was attending the session he said I will attend only for half an hour because there is a birthday a birthday of your son I said make a choice Krishna you were talking making a choice so he did not say anything to me he went to the other room he told that I will meet you after an hour he attended the full session yes sir I remember that today is a birthday tomorrow is not day after tomorrow there is a conflict unstable we say goodbye to that yes sir very good how are you thank you sir sir I'm good uh stepping into this that uh I have always a choice uh whenever what is happening so I have a choice to be in lane two or keep struggling with lane one so it's a matter of choice and when I settle with lane two mind will be at peace always yes you see how beautiful explanation is you see how beautiful explanation I have a choice so when I don't have a choice the impurities of the mind has taken over me then there is no choice animals have a choice to kill us either through their they cannot pick up the pistol they cannot pick up the stick to kill us they have only one thing they will fight tooth and nail through their paws through their jaws etc etc we have a choice very good how are you Sangeeta beautiful way to explain you know I I steal all these expressions and then I give in the another session you know that I am a little bit clever guy so yes yes yes yes what she is saying that if someone in the front is reacting to it so it's a better to keep quiet I have a choice that is a choice reaction is animal nature reaction is animal nature yes that's really good you know it doesn't mean that you remain quite all the time let the other guy come down then ask honey what happened can I understand why you became mad at me so you are already pointing you were mad and if the person becomes aware they will say they will say positive thing you know normally we in in US you know we say why you you were mad at me in a very gentle way we are already pointing out that you were crazy at that moment please don't be crazy that you were crazy at that moment please don't be crazy you should have made a choice you know sometime I contemplate and reflect on those phrases and I realize oh my goodness this is what it is that is all for today very good we'll meet in the next session thank you bye
