Sorrow - Happiness Enters Due To Ignorance

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 selves. 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.

Transcript

So the question is now I have changed the title.

In the beginning we had 15 or I think 18-19 sessions on the enemies of the mind.

Whether you say enemies or the impurities of the mind,

We have been discussing and we have reached to a point of self-inquiry.

So now I re-titled our sessions as a journey to the self-inquiry.

What self-inquiry leads to?

Self-inquiry leads to self-knowledge.

So self-inquiry starts from the basic questions.

How dare you say I don't know I am?

That is your false side.

When you use that statement,

How dare you say?

Then we are already identified with the body,

Mind,

Intellect and ego and we are gone.

Then what Buddha says,

Sansara is suffering.

The false side creates the world around me.

What is the world?

World around me,

A place of recognition,

Of wealth,

Of being rich,

Of being stressed,

Of being into anxiety,

Of duality and conflict all belongs to the false side.

Oh,

Then what is the real self?

Real self is all-pervading of the nature of peace,

Happiness,

Love,

Truth and knowledge.

The way the sweetness of the sugar never disappears,

Whether you put into a jar or a big box or a bottle or a lemon water,

The sweetness never.

.

.

Same way the real self never complete the sentence.

So how do you find the journey,

What changes have taken place in your life?

If you are really practicing and reflecting,

You have to ask yourself.

Every day you have to ask,

Every day.

Until the question will dissolve by itself.

You say,

No,

Don't ask me this question.

I'm there.

Did you reach your home?

You are already at your home.

Don't.

.

.

Why are you asking this question?

Are you seeing?

You see that?

So clarity has to be there.

That clarity should not come by blind belief.

You have long beard,

So I believe,

You know,

It will not work.

And what about those who cannot grow their beard?

You don't believe them?

So we have to be extremely logical.

We have to see that there is no element of blind belief enters into our life.

I can point out Terry's blind belief.

No,

No,

No.

I'm suffering from an illness.

No,

You are not suffering.

Your body is suffering.

Get rid of the blind belief.

And then work on your life,

My friends.

Can you meditate on autopilot?

Answer is big no.

If yes,

Then you are not learning anything from the session.

I know out of 10 million websites which claims one minute of instant meditation and one beard guy who is saying you,

You have to analyze.

You have to find out.

Meditation cannot work on how many times you were anxious,

Upset,

Awfully busy since the last session.

That is a point.

Shake your head.

Start with this self-inquiry internally.

Nobody knows.

Raise your awareness.

And you are already on the path.

I believe you are getting it.

You are understanding.

What is the most important in the journey of self-knowledge?

Self-inquiry.

We have already understood the enemies of the mind,

The impurities of the mind.

So with that reference,

We keep in mind and then we start with the self-inquiry.

Example,

Somebody has a disease.

Other people,

You know,

Say I have a illness and so my honey,

My son,

My daughter will consult the doctor.

They will ask,

They will bring medicine for me.

But I have to take medicine.

Are you understanding?

If I don't take medicine or if I say,

If I don't take medicine or if I say,

Honey,

I know that I'm suffering severely and doctor has prescribed me six pills every day.

So why don't you take 50% of the pills to take care of my disease?

Not possible.

Are you getting it?

Now you take three pills and I will take three pills to treat my illness.

So that is why the word self-inquiry is coined by the master.

Self-inquiry.

I have to do my inquiry myself.

You can give me the money.

You can give me the clothes.

You can give me anything from the material world.

But this self-knowledge you cannot get without doing the self-inquiry.

You have to do it by yourself.

Did you understand the phrase self-inquiry?

Self-inquiry.

So self-inquiry results into self-knowledge that is known as moksha.

That is known as awakening.

Is it possible that someone can help me in the self-knowledge?

The answer is no.

So what the hell you are doing?

You can ask me if no one can help me.

We should be very clear.

We should be very clear.

So unless we become the highest level of a seeker,

A teacher acts as a representative of the Eastern West.

Simply a representative.

So he passes on that knowledge and then your mind is engaged in the self-inquiry.

So what happens if I become the highest level of a seeker?

Every session you receive the knowledge,

You retain the knowledge,

You realize the knowledge.

There and there.

Did you get it?

Obviously it took me a couple of years while living with the Master.

I said,

He is just,

You know,

He is talking,

You know,

He is crazy.

He says there is no stress in life.

How it is possible?

So why my mind thinks like that?

I have a lot of doubts.

I don't have a conviction in the intellect and that is why we have to continue the session until those doubts are removed and the way the intellect gives the interpretation that leads me to the stress.

No,

No,

No,

He is all right,

But I live in stress.

There is a doubt.

Where?

In the intellect.

I must get rid of it.

Are you getting it?

So that is the way how we have to do the self-inquiry.

I have to look at everything inside the head.

Self-inquiry removes the ignorance.

That is what is the meaning.

Moving from lead me from the ignorance to the knowledge,

To the wisdom.

So that is what we have been doing step by step approach to a complete knowledge.

I think I discussed about it.

Complete knowledge,

You have no problem.

Complete ignorance,

Ignorance is bliss.

In deep sleep,

You are not aware of the world.

So the problem is not there.

Problem and conflict is already always there with reference to the world outside.

What is that word?

People,

Place,

Relationship,

Condition.

I would say a millionaire is attending a session with me and he says I have a lot of problem of finances.

I said,

Yes,

I know that.

I know that.

Initially he told me I have five houses.

I have three cars.

Okay,

Are you joking?

So incomplete knowledge.

Recently,

Last week he sent me.

I said,

How to respond this guy?

I should tell him,

I should send him a big message that I live month by month.

So this is a wrong notion.

We have to get rid of it.

Anyhow,

I took him to the entire journey of the Gita in a different way.

Then he realized he is very extremely wise.

So he understand it.

So now just remembering what to remember.

I will just say impurities,

Impurities,

Enemies or the defects of the mind.

What to do to purify the mind.

So we have to get rid of it.

The defects of the mind.

What to do to purify the mind.

So we have to get ready for the self-discovery.

This is what we also understood that action only is not enough.

Action must be supported by the knowledge of the real self on one side in the real and the knowledge of the false self.

That is what we understood.

And at the same time,

We understood that the purity of the mind is essential in the journey of the self-discovery.

And we added that we should invoke the blessing.

We should create an auspiciousness.

Now I am rephrasing it.

We enter into auspiciousness.

We don't create an auspiciousness.

The impure mind cannot create it.

How?

By any mantra.

Every day you wake up in the morning,

Just say,

Let me lead me from ignorance to wisdom.

Lead me from the false to the real self so that your intellect will remind you to move ahead,

To rise in awareness.

And then we discussed about what are the impurities,

The likes and dislikes.

We discussed about the commander-in-chief that controls our entire life with their siblings of likes and dislikes,

With the desire,

With an agitation,

Struggle inside the mind and followed by the repeat desire which our master says breed and the ego and the self-discovery.

So we reached to a state of self-inquiry.

So any topic that you miss,

You have to refer to the previous sessions to think,

Contemplate and reflect.

And then we reached to,

And I referred to the great master,

Maharishi Raman.

You see that I am acting as a representative.

Knowledge comes from there and I'm passing on.

One beautiful woman,

Anastasia knows I don't want to name it.

So she sent me an email message,

You know,

I'm not telling you the fake stories.

I'm telling you the real stories.

Anastasia is a witness.

She wrote to me,

Thank you very much for giving me the acquired knowledge.

I'm not attending your session from now on.

Knowledge belongs to those teachers.

You know what I have to do.

You follow it by the self-inquiry.

You realize that knowledge which has been realized by the master or you don't realize it.

So,

You know,

I'm not going to say that you have to be a teacher.

You have to be a teacher.

You realize that knowledge which has been realized by the master or you don't realize it.

Anastasia,

She sent some money to me.

So now coming to the self-inquiry means,

Do you remember,

Attention to the inner awareness of the I-thought or I-ness recommended by this master.

So what will happen?

I-thought,

It would disappear.

What will remain?

Pure consciousness.

But before that,

What are the obstacles in the journey of the self-inquiry?

We have to take up and the first topic today during the self-inquiry,

We have to inquire what exactly is this sorrow?

What exactly is this sorrow?

What is happiness?

Are you happy now?

What exactly is the sorrow and what is happiness?

So first I will read exactly the translation of this verse,

What the master says,

And then we will inquire.

We will understand when the notions,

When the notion,

When the idea,

When a thought,

That is what the notion is.

So master says when this idea,

That thought,

That the world outside,

That is the seen world,

World of people,

Of relationship,

Of event,

Of situation,

Of birthday,

Etc.

Notion,

I have a notion that the world outside is real,

First,

And that it is different from me.

Third,

That both exist,

Then I get a notion of happiness lies in it or sorrow lies in it.

Are you getting it?

I'm repeating again.

First thing,

My mind says this world is real.

Place is real,

Situation is real,

It is constantly changing.

That is why when we meet a person,

He or she becomes a soulmate and after a few weeks it is changing,

Soulmate.

That's very clear.

You use it for anything,

You know,

You buy a new car,

First week is so good.

You go out and you look around your neighbors,

You know,

Nobody is looking at me,

You know,

What is this?

I have a new car.

I can go a little personal,

You know,

You spend hundred dollars on your facial,

What do we say,

Facial?

My honey doesn't do it,

You know,

So I don't remember,

I don't know those things yet.

And then you go out,

You know,

If no one says you look beautiful,

Problem is there.

In any situation,

In any condition,

In any event,

In any relation,

What I thought,

The world is real.

First,

First aspect,

The idea that this world is real.

Second is that this world exists,

Which is constantly changing.

These two things happen in the mind first and then what happens the third?

Expectation.

Expectations.

What is that expectation?

How I will meet,

For example,

You know,

I'm just joking,

I'll meet Krishna,

I'll be happy.

But Krishna says I don't have time.

Did you understand that?

So the happiness and the sorrow takes place in the mind,

In imagination,

Because of the notion I have created in my mind,

Followed by an expectation.

Tell me if it is wrong.

Tell me if it is.

You go to the mall and you see a,

You know,

We always refer,

You know,

Girls are beautiful,

You know,

The women are beautiful.

So you find a beautiful women and you are very beautiful.

And the women says I am married,

You know.

So I'm just helping you to explain,

Understand sorrow and happiness.

You went to her,

You made that remark to get happiness.

And she did not say anything wrong.

She simply said I am married.

And you get upset.

Did you understand that point?

This is what the master is saying.

First,

I have a wrong notion that this entire world outside is real.

That will give me peace and happiness,

Love,

Truth and wisdom.

I'm expanding that.

Are you getting it?

But if you simply appreciate the beauty,

That is OK.

So the self-enquiry says if Sam is handsome,

So I must say he is really handsome.

Are you not handsome?

Say yes,

Yes.

I must say.

But appreciation should not be added with,

With expectation.

That is the moment of self-enquiry.

Do you see this is what the master says.

Let us expand a little more.

This word,

Gita,

We are going to use it.

So Gita says this entire world outside,

The universe outside has three factors,

Constitutes the entire universe,

Time,

Place,

Object.

That object includes people and the places.

What is this event?

This is an event.

We are having a virtual session.

Tell me,

These three factors are always there in the world outside,

Without which the universe do not exist.

And what is the world for us?

Where is the world for us?

The world is the world for us.

The world is the world for us.

The world is the world for us.

The world is the world for us.

The world is the world for us.

The world is the world for us.

The world is the world for us.

The world is the world for us.

Where is the world for us?

I got married,

But I have a problem.

For 10 years I lived my life.

Go ahead,

Go ahead.

Oh,

That millionaire.

I have a lot of financial difficulties.

So my mind started thinking in a.

.

.

Just,

Just I had a phrase.

Is he thinking that he should not pay me?

That is why he sent a message.

Event.

Are you getting it?

Time,

Place and object.

Object includes people.

So one person at a particular time,

At a particular location.

Your location is house.

The couple is living,

Obviously.

We know what is it.

You cannot say that I'm living in your house and I'm your number one enemy.

It is not possible.

First thing.

Did you understand?

First thing is the word.

Second is what is,

What is the conclusion about the world?

This world is in flux,

Is constantly changing.

Now,

So the master brings us closer to the self-inquiry.

Whatever is seen,

Known,

Experienced is world.

I see you.

You are a world for me.

You see me,

I'm a world for you.

I'm,

We are,

I'm opening up that verse this master says.

So the moment I see you,

For example.

Instead of appreciating the world outside,

Which is going to help me to evolve.

Instead of appreciation,

I start expecting.

Why I expect?

Because I'm not expecting.

Why I expect?

Because I see happiness in you.

So when I talk to you,

You are already in stress.

So,

But I keep loving you so God,

I'm getting attached to you.

This is what the master is saying.

Are you getting it?

Understanding.

Are you getting it?

Understand it clearly.

Why we experience and know sorrow and the happiness in the world.

So what happens?

Can you guess from the last 18 or 19 session?

This commander in chief with its sibling says,

I like you.

So I am attached to you.

So I'm seeking happiness within you and you are already in stress.

How you can give me stress?

How can you give me happiness?

Then I continue the journey.

Oh,

You have been stressed because I love you.

So I will take care of you.

So I am deeply attached.

Are you understanding that?

Don't,

Don't mistake it.

I will explain it a couple of times.

I have an expectation for what?

For peace and happiness and love.

So I start the conversation during the conversation and you come out that you already have a stress.

So what I do?

I get deeply attached with you.

I will take care of you.

Why?

I keep my expectations of peace and happiness.

That commander in chief is working with a strong likes and dislikes because he is in dislikes because I liked you.

I keep liking you.

And one day in extreme stress,

You say,

Hell with you.

Don't talk to me.

All your dreams are shattered.

I know this might have happened to you in one or the other in your life.

It happened to me.

I should agree to it.

But now I recognize it.

Do you see the journey of the self-inquiry?

We will cover that part that how to build that relationship with everyone.

It does not mean that I should not live in the world.

It does not mean that I should go and commit suicide.

Eastern wisdom is not talking about that.

So we will understand the factors on which the relationship should be based.

How?

By the knowledge.

By the knowledge.

Do you still remember what we are talking about?

Word.

Mind begins with the perception.

Another way to understand.

And then we will do the practice.

So our mind begins with the perception.

And it continues to live in the right perception.

When the last 18-20 sessions,

You have really understood the enemies of the mind is not attacking the mind.

What does it mean in a single phrase?

You continue to live in a right perception without any projection.

That projection is created by the commander in chief with a direction.

Siblings of strong likes and dislikes.

The desire of seeking peace and happiness from you.

Why you?

Because I claim that the world contains the property of peace and happiness.

I lived a life for 27 years.

I will not name,

You know,

That guy.

Otherwise,

He will sue me.

I'm working with,

You know,

Microsoft 365,

You know.

He will say that I will not give you this 365.

Understand this clearly.

When you have that clarity,

No projection,

No projection means notion,

Idea,

Thought.

So I,

Mind has a particular thought that this person at a particular time,

In a particular situation,

At a particular location,

I created an event.

Event belongs to the world is the source of happiness.

That is not.

That is not.

And if that continues,

We will continue self-inquiry,

Self-inquiry.

Commander in chief and its armies continues to haunt us.

That is what is impulsive,

Instinctive,

Habitual life.

That is what the split personality is.

I don't want to compare with psychological illnesses.

Otherwise,

This,

You know,

These psychiatrists and psychologists will not spare me.

Think.

Last point that I want to cover and then I will also cover this topic again.

But if you ask the ultimate cause.

So your mind,

Intellect may say that,

Yes,

You are right in that sense of expectation and projection.

And creating a wrong notion,

The world and the universe outside is the source of peace and happiness.

But what is the ultimate cause?

Did you decide to be born with a particular parents in a particular country,

In a particular family?

You did not decide.

So what birth was in ignorance.

Your birth was in ignorance.

We have no right to say anything against our parents.

We were born in ignorance.

We continued our life in ignorance.

Then what happened?

Our parents conditioned because they don't know.

So they conditioned our life.

And then what happened?

We were born in ignorance.

We continued our life in ignorance.

Then what happened?

Our parents conditioned because they don't know.

So they conditioned our life.

Then the teachers in the school conditioned our life.

Society conditioned our life.

Culture conditioned our life.

Religion conditioned our life.

And we continued living unconsciously,

Habitually,

Instinctively,

Claiming that we are intelligent.

And there the Eastern wisdom comes and it says,

Do you know that you have a real self and you have a false self?

Nobody gives that knowledge.

Are you getting it?

Eastern wisdom says you have two self,

Two I.

And the false I is causing all the problem.

Can you shift your life from the false I to the real I?

If you take these,

This message,

Only one message of the entire Eastern wisdom,

Find out who am I?

So the moment you shift,

Move from the false I to the real I,

Sorrow and the happiness in relationship to the world,

Dissolves completely.

It has no meaning at all.

What do you find?

Pure consciousness.

We'll talk in detail.

Eyes are closed.

Eyes are closed and make your body comfortable.

Comfort is coming from the real I.

Comfort is natural.

It is not a practice.

But our body is comfortable.

But our,

What happened?

Our society,

Our culture has so deep conditioning.

It says,

No,

You can be comfortable.

Take,

You know what we say,

Take a lemon water,

You feel comfortable.

Sleep,

But I'm not getting a sleep.

How can I feel comfortable?

So there the master says,

Understand my friend.

Comfort is a state of awareness.

Eyes are closed.

You are looking at the entire body.

You're just looking.

You're not doing anything.

Move the mind on the entire body from the top of the head to the toes.

You experience sensation,

Comfort.

Certain steadiness,

The mind still moving within.

It is rising awareness.

I made it clear.

And then you see the space.

The space is awareness and awareness is the space.

Do you see what this master says?

That's why I brought this topic.

This master says I should pay constant attention.

24 by 7 in the waking state of that I,

Which is within until this I dissolves.

What I dissolves the false I.

What we did in being comfortable.

I'm bringing you what we discuss.

We bring that journey to a state of realization.

Now being carefree,

Being carefree.

Yes,

Free from now you instantly your mind goes to the lane one.

Being carefree from the unwanted,

Unwelcome thoughts.

Any thought,

Every thought has to do with the world outside.

From there spring sorrow,

Happiness,

Pain,

Pleasure,

Likes,

Dislikes,

Attachment,

Detachment.

So that is what unwanted,

Unwelcome thoughts.

If you become unconscious,

If you miss my words in the form of the instruction,

Your mind is engaged in unwelcome,

Unwanted thoughts.

So you may say,

No,

I have a lot of stress.

That is what it is.

The stress you recognize by the thought only.

Thought gives you that feeling.

So that is also the unwanted,

Unwelcome thoughts.

But what we are doing,

We are doing nothing.

We are shifting to the lane two.

We are an observer.

We are an observer of these thoughts,

Feelings,

Sensations,

Experiences that is constantly taking place in the mind.

The moment you are an observer,

You are a witness.

Can you see love?

Can you see attachment?

Do you feel attachment?

Yes.

Do you feel love?

That is what the observer is.

Oh,

That is what it is.

We should never forget in the journey to enter into the auspiciousness.

We are doing in three steps of this auspiciousness.

We are reciting the mantra mentally.

Then we know the meaning and then we do the self-enquiry.

That is the meaning of extracting the knowledge from this mantra.

So the meaning is let everyone be happy.

Now see what happens.

It's a summary of the entire talk.

All the four steps of this mantra gives you.

What is that?

Happiness is my essential nature.

My essential nature lives within me,

Not in the world outside.

Is it not the summary?

That is why we need a teacher.

Oh,

No,

No.

But what about others?

Come on,

You are a living species.

So everyone,

Every living human being,

Every living species has the property,

Has an essence of happiness.

Oh,

They all are seeking happiness.

Yes.

Why they don't get it?

Because of ignorance.

So I return my focus on myself.

Let me go with it.

Done.

But what is the outer statement?

Let everyone be happy.

So what is the journey of the self-enquiry?

The enquiry is that everyone.

Happiness is the essential nature of everyone.

That is the essence.

I will go into five steps.

We are doing the three steps now.

Sarve Shamshantir Bhavatu.

Sarve Shamshantir Bhavatu.

Sarve Shamshantir Bhavatu.

Let there be peace for everyone.

You see,

Outer expression is different.

But it takes us to the point where peace consciousness is me.

So the peace consciousness is you also.

So the peace is essential nature of all the living species.

I have repeated n number of times that you observe any living species.

Including the COVID virus was seeking peace entering into the human body through multiplication.

Through multiplication.

Living species.

But that they don't know they are doing the harm.

We have an intellect.

We can separate that.

Not to harm anyone around us and not to harm us.

What is that word is the compassion.

Sarve Shamshantir Bhavatu.

Sarve Shamshantir Bhavatu.

Sarve Shamshantir Bhavatu.

Purnam.

Completeness.

A very deep message in the verse that we discussed today is hidden.

Why I am seeking peace and happiness from the world outside at a particular time in a location with an object and a person.

Because I feel a sense of incompleteness in myself.

So the master says.

You only seek peace,

Happiness,

Love,

Truth and wisdom from the world outside from a person or a situation or a condition or an event or from a vacation.

Because you first declared that I'm incomplete in myself.

I believe you get it.

What about real self is complete in itself.

That is the message.

Sarve Shamshantir Bhavatu.

Sarve Shamshantir Bhavatu.

Sarve Shamshantir Bhavatu.

Sarve Shamshantir Bhavatu.

Sarve Shamshantir Bhavatu.

Let there be auspiciousness for all.

Why auspicious?

Existence because of which we exist.

Gives us an opportunity to be happy.

To be happy.

To be happy.

To be happy.

To be happy.

To be happy.

Of auspiciousness.

To realize the real self.

That we miss every time.

Looking deep inside.

The forehead.

Om Shanti.

Gently you say Om Shanti.

There is a space.

Om Shanti.

There is a space.

And now start breathing from the chest through the nostrils.

Above the nostrils.

Expansion of the chest and chest continue.

Expansion and contraction.

It is gentle.

You are more conscious.

You are doing the breathing at a higher consciousness level.

What it means?

Why I said this?

Mind will not pose any restrictions,

Any limitations.

The mind will not stop.

Mind will not create disharmony.

It will continue to breathe in a rhythmic fashion.

That is what we want.

Continue.

Continue.

And stop it.

Do nothing.

Do you remember,

Recognize,

Accept,

Remain aware of the changes,

Experiences taking place at this moment?

We have no likes and dislikes.

We have no preferences.

We are just examining.

That is the meaning of what this master says.

Maintain an awareness and attention on the I inside.

Continue with the Om Shanti.

Start with the belly breathing now.

It's a longer breath.

The air into your belly expands like a balloon.

You squeeze it.

Long breath into the belly.

Least movement into the ribcage.

I'll tell you why we do that as we continue our journey,

My friends.

We are still doing for three minutes.

And three minutes even it is not a minimum time.

Normally in Tantra tradition it is nine minutes.

You may be having unusual experiences.

You recognize them.

You accept them.

That is very important my friends.

Now stop it.

Recognize and accept the changes.

Doing nothing.

I have to tell you one thing to my mind.

Your nostrils are blocked and you keep on doing it.

You push your mind to follow the practice.

The time will come every time you do the practice.

Your mind becomes aware and it will stop blocking the nostrils.

Keep on doing Om Shanti and start breathing from the belly and the chest together long deep and the hissing breath.

Long deep and the hissing breath.

Three minutes First you inhale into the belly then you continue inhaling into the rib or I can say that you expand the belly like a balloon first,

Follow the ribcage you exhale from the belly first you squeeze the belly and from the I will be adding couple of more final steps why final steps?

To help us rise in awareness.

No worries you do it only for three minutes I always keep the stopwatch if your mind is thinking otherwise.

And stop it do nothing recognize accept the changes.

So the same eastern wisdom it is the same tantra principle that says if you keep on doing provided consciously bypassing the resistance posed by the mind what happens your both the nostrils gets opened and it has the same rhythm same speed of the breath So tantra moves in another direction so we are not going there so now look inside the cave of your heart the triangle,

Equilateral triangle of any color moving the mind on each side dropping Om Shanti clockwise and anticlockwise and checking if it is sinking you find a perfect sync of three pointed awareness do you remember movement of the mind on the side awareness of the side you find the sync you move the mind singing Om moving the mind from the center of a triangle to keep that awareness Shanti and absorbed into the state what is that absorption which our master said until this I dissolves we have to do it again and again and again and again until what time you know it and leave this Japa Om Shanti mind's eye mind's touch mind's tongue mind's ear they are doing the work in one of the text master sees when the senses withdraws from the objects of the world when the senses are withdrawn in the mind that is the second step we are doing then the mind is withdrawn then the intellect is withdrawn then the awareness is withdrawn what is left is the pure consciousness that is the real self and this can happen by this step also Shanti Shanti Shanti so when you do by yourself and by listening to the audio at your home the last step even when I say conclude this session and your mind says no let me live into that so live into that state for as long as possible Om Shanti Shanti Shanti Om Shanti Shanti Shanti 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 slide the palms know your experiences bring the hands down know your experiences we'll share our experiences let us start with David and Jerry thank you sir very very peaceful very focused couple of little distractions in the background deterred me from just having this I was in focus so it was great thank you beautiful you see that the mind moves smoothly there is no abstraction there are no challenges posed by the mind the knowledge is settled that is why there are no challenges wonderful we can hear the distractions even the distraction is there it doesn't cause any I know distraction is not going to give me any peace of sorrow and happiness they are just there so let it be there how are you Jerry sir I'm good thank you the mind is very settled in that just believes I guess I really believe that our peace is within us and the truth and the wisdom all of that is within so nothing on the outside can affect that so we just have to share that so when we live with that knowledge so like you said we don't have any preconceived notions about anything and that gives us a tremendous freedom beautiful once the intellect has a conviction that this peace and happiness are within there is no one in the world no event no condition no person can dare to put me into distress if I use that word but we should have that conviction and that is why we have started the self-inquiry how are you Steven I'm good microphone sounds great by the way oh thank you that's good I will use that the self-inquiry is extremely powerful what I'm seeing and understanding about it more so than anything else is that it requires and applies all the principles of everything that you've taught us and everything about the notions the perceptions the potential of sorrow and suffering is truly necessary to know what I am and what I am not and I understand that comes with self-inquiry but it all is really measured against your desires and your ego and if going through that whole process and then reapplying all those principles it just becomes really clear and that led to a very peaceful meditation for me and it was quick and again struggled to come out but it's almost like I'm cued that as soon as you start chanting it's like okay start pulling yourself out as you may need to get out of this wonderful and beautiful you see that every person's intellect perceives these principles and everybody's mind picks up one principle and you pick up any one principle because you already have an understanding of others it will follow you it will follow you so that is what the Stephen says that what I am and what I am not and the moment you do the self-inquiry of what I am other principles follows and you live into that is why it becomes difficult for him to return from the meditation how are you Brandy?

Good thank you like you know everybody's shared out so far at some point during the meditation it occurred to me that you know you really like it really is split personality so to speak to say you're in stress but also be a peaceful existence like the same as you said being a millionaire but having all these financial problems and it was just really clear to me at one point so if I'm in stress then I'm not in peace then I'm not in stress and I know that sounds obvious but it's not that obvious yes yes that's a wonderful metaphor I am a trillionaire why?

Because my nature is peace and happiness that's what I don't recognize that is the problem and you rightly use the word split personality it has nothing to do with understanding of the modern cycle it has to do with the eastern wisdom I am in anxiety that is a split personality can you declare I am not?

You are free but to declare I am not to live into that state demands a journey journey of the eastern wisdom beautiful how are you Christina?

Welcome good morning you returned from Portugal?

Yes last night yes so I felt a long period of complete separateness from my body good and yeah that sense of just being consciousness yeah that is beautiful you see that any point you pick up and you have a realization you have an understanding I am not the body so that is what the separation why?

They are already separate matter and consciousness cannot go together so when I but why they are going together because of ignorance what we are doing?

Self-inquiry why we are doing self-inquiry?

To separate it and that was your experience beautiful how are you Barbara?

Oh Sam let us go to the Sam first thank you for calling me handsome now if I don't invite handsome first then I will be in a problem yeah I am the most handsome that lesson was great feeling like I am able to slowly apply the principles better and better everyday I feel like one thing you have always told us to do is to see how long our peace can last after meditation and that is lengthening and the meditation was great itself beautiful keep on applying until you reach to the highest state it is wonderful to see how are you Terry?

I had a little better better little better synchronization synchronization synchronization with the breath with the breath and the Om Shanti and the Om Shanti better than you beautiful I have to make one statement about you because whenever we have any kind of a suffering related to body,

Mind then our practice should be intense repeat practice so when you are repeating the practice the pressure of the illness drops down and the resources resources of the practice goes up so when this becomes an imbalance the pressure of the illness is here and the resources are above you are free from the illness that is required because you know we may need only one practice you need five times and you have time well I'm doing my best yes I'll be back I'll be back yes good how are you Barbara I'm very good thank you I didn't have any thoughts at all during the entire meditation and it just kept getting deeper and deeper and I saw this wonderful pure white light that's beautiful and I really wanted to stay there if I was doing it on my own I think I would have been there a long long time I'm already sending you the audio file you do it white light in Tantra represents a higher awareness and a higher consciousness or you can say it is in the level of pure consciousness beautiful Barbara we all are in the same journey how are you Vaibhav thank you sir,

I'm good mind was smooth when I'm not changing anything then mind is free it is going in a smooth and stationary and good no past problems?

No sir good,

Wonderful I want to be sure I will ask how are you Sangeeta I'm very peaceful I'm very happy I feel good you are a millionaire and you are getting peace after so many days I'm not feeling well I'm not feeling well that is why I'm asking you even after so many days she is not feeling well physically I will tell you later on so we will come to anesthesia I want to make a remark for anesthesia first,

Can I do that I don't hear you yes she is translating one session,

English and Ukrainian there is another Ukrainian session where around 10-15 people join so she attends that session so two sessions there and three sessions here Monday,

Thursday and Saturday but the beauty of this girl is that she contemplates and reflects so five hours every day with me and she contemplates and reflects and that's how she sends me the messages every,

Almost every week so what I wanted to say that the same practice,

You listen to the same talk and even if you repeat it couple of times it is going to help you now anesthesia thank you for this possibility to be with you and with you all it's saving my chance so my meditation was very deep and my mind today had a lot of thoughts but I was a little bit deeper and I was I am understanding now that it is commitment to the peace and happiness and that this is the most important thing to go direction because desires they can be lucrative and sparkling but the same way they destroy the peace and if the peace is destroyed like if I can say like this there is no happiness second or third cup of coffee is pleasure but then you get down to suffering and so yeah beautiful,

Beautiful you made one I want to repeat that in my desires are sparkling they glitters more than permanent peace and happiness I have to choose one all that glitters is not gold I have to pick up the one but Anastasia you have to thank each one here and also specifically David and Jerry who have been contributing in turn I am able to volunteer all the free sessions thank you very much yeah she is nice don't make a bad sense of it if Sam is handsome and Anastasia is beautiful it's just an appreciation women should not get upset,

All women are beautiful thank you thank you thank you Namaste Namaste
