Transcript
And that is what we will start our journey.
Journey So Freedom,
Happiness and wisdom.
This is our name of our series.
Freedom,
Happiness and Wisdom.
So in the first lesson we understood that there is a natural state of meditation.
Natural state means he has attained the highest state.
He lives and works in meditation.
So people who wants to reach to the highest state but do not want to leave what is not desired.
You know,
You know,
Sometimes our mind,
Let me grab everything.
But when at times comes forgiving,
No giving.
That also applies to meditation.
That I must realize what is not desired.
I must leave it.
You have a problem with your honey,
For example.
Always example comes with the honey.
You know,
You can take honey as your smartphone,
Your spouse or anything.
I don't want to leave,
Grab.
So meditation is a movement,
Basically.
It's a movement.
That's why we have a phrase,
Asatoma Satagamayo,
Move from the false to the truth.
So that exchange should continue all the time.
So that is why we picked up the second topic,
Who destroys this natural state and how?
And we understood the psychology of desires.
I laid the foundation of learning from this master,
Which is known as Patanjali.
Then in the third,
We took up a subject how to begin dropping instinctive,
Impulsive and habitual mind.
You see that?
The more you drop means you leave something,
You gain something.
It applies to everything.
You are on the verge of earning money and you keep it deposited in the bank.
You don't want to take that money out.
It will not work.
Look at for everything.
Whatever we eat in the morning,
We throw it out.
So that exchange is always there.
We have to understand that power of exchange consciously.
Then the last week we understood that what is all about this sutra?
One phrase and it gives you clarity,
It removes the ambiguity,
It gives you the sense of what is,
What we are going to do and how we are going to do.
So today is,
Before that,
I want to say something more.
That when I say meditation is a movement,
The very first movement,
The mind is engaged with the impurities.
So in meditation,
The very first step is to recognize these impurities in terms of reaction,
Anger,
Hesitation,
Ego,
Sense.
And you know,
Mala,
It is known as impurities.
Dirt,
Dusting,
Dust.
So we have to remove that dust.
I have to recognize in me.
That is the first movement.
The second movement is that we must understand clearly.
We must gain the right knowledge of the real self and the not self.
And then the third process that takes place in meditation is practice,
Practice,
Practice,
Practice.
So if you don't follow all the three,
Then we do not reach to the higher state.
So now come to the popular notions of yoga in the world.
Everything is right.
I'm not in a state to criticize anything.
Popular notion of yoga.
What is popular notion of yoga?
26 pastures,
13 pastures.
What is the advanced yoga from 13 asanas?
24 asanas or 50 asanas and ultimately you stand on your head rather than stand on your feet.
When the God has given us the feet,
Why to stand on the feet or on the head?
We need to understand.
We should understand.
These are the popular notions of yoga.
We have different styles of yoga and different.
.
.
But what Patanjali is saying?
So we should understand what Patanjali is saying,
The authority,
The master of the sutra,
The codifier,
Not the originator.
So sometimes we say that it is the union of the body,
Mind and soul.
Yeah,
It's a common phrase.
Who the hell you are to unite body,
Mind and soul?
Are they not united?
Ask yourself.
Are they not united?
Are they not working together?
Oh,
We say body,
Mind and soul and then it's going.
No,
I'm not criticizing.
One has to understand.
If you do not understand with the clarity,
Then it will not work for you.
Do whatever you want to do.
That is what our master Patanjali is saying.
Now what master Patanjali says and what Vyasa?
Did you understand the last lesson?
We will take an understanding from the Vyasa.
That is who is a commentator and critical commentary by Vigyan Bhikchu.
Plus,
I will add other commentaries also.
There are 30 commentaries by the great masters.
The Vyasa who wrote 99% of the principles of yoga,
Who is giving a commentary on Patanjali.
So he is in authority.
I'm not an authority.
Nobody is there.
So we have to follow that.
So having said that,
Patanjali,
Vyasa says,
What is yoga?
He says yoga is the highest state of mindfulness.
He defines the root of yoga is yuj and that yuj means samadhi.
Yuj means the highest state of mindfulness.
Does it blow your mind?
We talk of yoga as a set of physical practices.
Hatha yoga is a complete book.
Hatha yoga is a topical text.
Hatha yoga pradipika yun kherin sahita.
And yug sutra is a complete text.
So what he says,
Yoga samadhi.
Now Vyasa explains the first sutra that yoga is samadhi and it is characteristic of a mind.
What it means?
What it means?
It simply means the meditation takes place in the mind.
Meditation happens in the mind.
But which state of the mind?
Now see,
Did you go through it the last lesson clearly?
The sutra,
The clarity,
No ambiguity,
Explanation,
You see that?
That is the beauty of the learning.
So the first thing,
What he says,
Yoga is the highest state of mindfulness.
Then Vyasa comments on it.
Vyasa comments,
He says that mindfulness or meditation is a characteristic of the mind.
Oh,
Characteristic,
I have a mind.
So am I in meditation?
You see,
Next question arises.
See that?
See the beauty of coherent statement,
One after the other.
So the Vyasa says,
Yes,
My meditation is a characteristic of the mind.
But mind lives in five subjective states.
So then the next question comes,
Which are the states in which the meditation happens and succeeds?
I'm not going deeper because it takes a lot of explanation,
So I'm just explaining the main points.
So mind lives in five subjective states,
Out of which meditation succeeds only in two subjective states.
In the three subjective states,
The meditation will not happen.
That means I have to drop those three subjective states.
You see that?
I started the journey by explaining I have to leave something to gain something.
That exchange must be there.
But I'm holding on something that I don't want to leave,
But I'm forced to leave.
Then it will not work,
My friends.
What are the five subjective states of the mind and which are the two subjective states of the mind where the meditation succeeds?
I'm not going deeper because the Vyasa says that in all the five subjective states,
There is a meditation mind.
Are you listening to me attentively?
100 percent?
Even for a minute?
Yes.
So even the wandering mind,
Your mind was wandering,
You listened to me for one minute attentively.
That is also understood as meditation,
But that is not yoga.
Are you getting it?
You need to listen to it again and again.
Arizona is?
USA.
Is USA Arizona?
Arizona is one of the 50 states.
Listen to it again.
Arizona is USA.
100 percent true.
Right?
Is USA Arizona?
Now apply.
That in all the five subjective states,
There is a state of meditation.
You get obsessed.
The mind is totally focused and absorbed.
But that is not yoga.
So only yoga takes place in two subjective states of the mind.
Did you understand why I gave an example?
Arizona is USA.
USA is not Arizona.
Simple.
So now what are those five subjective states?
The first subjective state is wandering mind.
Is your mind wandering now?
So first state is the wandering mind.
Second state is forgetfulness.
Third state is known as occasionally steady or obsessed.
I say crazy,
Lazy and obsessed state of the mind.
First three states.
Fourth state is one pointedness,
Which means that you are a seeker.
And the fifth state is empty state of the mind.
So we have five states of the mind.
So in all the five states of the mind,
Definitely there is an element of meditation,
But not yoga.
Yoga only succeeds in the last two states of the mind.
That is one pointedness and empty state of the mind.
Are you getting it?
Are you getting it?
That is the beauty of the first sutra.
Now take the sutra.
First sutra is known as it atha yoga anushashanam.
Ath has multiple meanings.
So the byasa says out of the multiple meaning,
The meaning that applies,
That is meant by the Patanjali,
Ath means that you are a seeker.
That is why I am speaking about the discipline and education of yoga.
So Patanjali says in the first chapter that only for the seeker,
This discipline and education of yoga is given.
Ath means I am a seeker.
I used to go,
I told you before that,
Before the master.
So after meeting with my master after a few months,
I made it a point that I must be present one hour before the master starts his talk.
That one hour used to give me clarity of the mind is already focused.
So I always used to achieve that focus of the mind for one hour.
It's not pride,
But after 10 years,
He told all his students that who succeeds in meditation,
Who waits for meditation.
So he laughed and he said that he waits for his master and for you guys,
The master waits for you.
So I played a trick.
I said,
Let us meet at 7.
50.
It's a kind of,
You see that?
Now see atha yoga anushashanam.
Bhagat means the seeker.
Yoga means according to Vyasa,
Yoga is the highest state of meditation.
That is why we use the word samadhi.
So but then he explains the meditation is a characteristic of the mind,
Means all meditation takes place in the mind.
In which mind?
There are five subjective states of the mind.
Out of the five,
Only two subjective states of the mind,
The meditation succeeds.
That is the meaning of yoga here.
And anushashanam,
It is a discipline and education.
Anu,
Anu means traditional,
Coming from the past.
Shashan means discipline and education.
So atha yoga anushashanam.
Yes,
Pick up one thing.
I have set an agenda yesterday that after the meditation practice is over,
Just I will finish at nine exactly.
And then I will start my work in the outer world.
So means that thought will continue to remain at the subconscious level in the mind.
And now you are doing the practice.
So you are loading the practice from outside and inside the mind.
The mind has already an agenda.
It will not succeed.
Do you see the point what I'm making?
Do you see the point?
Do you understand that?
I have an agenda already set in my mind.
And now I'm loading the mind with the practice.
So the mind enters into the conflict at a much deeper level of which I'm not aware.
It will not succeed.
What I said,
Eastern wisdom,
Including yoga,
Is a knowledge,
Is a study to study yourself.
Nothing else.
You study yourself,
You excel so that you understand how you can excel.
How you can excel.
Are you getting it?
So I'm summarizing before we do the practice.
So there are a lot of things to be understood.
Now I recognize that which state of the mind I have,
Keep aside everything.
That is what we do even in the business,
Even in work,
Even driving.
But we take meditation easily.
I'm talking to seekers.
I have also the Thursday session late in the evening for New Jersey students.
There I take it very casually.
Understand that.
Athi yoga nushashanam.
Athi,
I am a seeker.
Or if I explain according to Patanjali,
Patanjali says,
Come on my seekers,
You are a seekers,
I will start the discipline and education of yoga from A to Z.
So that you succeed in meditation that leads to awakening,
Realization and transformation.
So that you can live and work in peace,
Happiness,
Love and wisdom.
We take it casually.
Now the discipline of yoga starts.
I'm not ready.
How the discipline will start?
Let us start over.
Practice.
So keep in mind five states.
Let us start over.
Practice now.
Eyes are closed.
Eyes are closed.
Just become aware.
I am.
It is 100 percent clear that I am.
Second is I know I am.
You see that I am summarizing everything in the first principle.
I am.
Very clear.
Second is I am,
I know I am.
So what is this I am?
Is existence.
Sat.
I know I am is chitta.
I know.
Who is this I am?
It is the real self.
Permeating one common element in every being in this universe.
Hence,
I am in permanent happiness.
Sat chitta.
That is known as absolute existence,
Consciousness,
Bliss.
It is here and now.
Looking inside the heart in the space.
Looking where?
Inside the heart in the space.
Then in that space you look at a point in the space.
What is the journey of the Eastern Residence?
We play with these principles.
So what is the way to explain it?
Find the ultimate cause.
So what is the point in the space?
I want to pick up the point in the space.
And that point in the space we can experience a state of calmness.
And that calmness is always present.
We did not create it by practice.
So we get some clue about the natural state is always present within us.
Shabd,
Arth,
Gyan,
The next step that we have been doing it mentally chanting the mantra.
Understand that clearly before we do the practice.
Shabd means the world.
Arth means the meaning.
And then comes the knowledge.
Pay attention so that this is what happens.
Always David,
Here he is.
The world is gone.
The meaning is gone.
The knowledge remains.
The mind is clear.
That is what happens in meditation.
All the process and the steps are gone.
The knowledge of the real self remains.
That is what we are practicing.
So looking inside the heart.
First mantra.
Singing and listening three times.
Sarveshaan swasthir bhavatuh.
Mentally sing.
So you are singing and listening also.
Sarveshaan swasthir bhavatuh.
Sarveshaan swasthir bhavatuh.
Now singing,
Listening and meaning.
Meaning is swasthir,
Well-being.
So whatever we see through the eyes,
That is okay.
But we see the well-being behind every being on this earth,
Including me.
Why?
That purifies the mind.
Let us do it three times.
Sarveshaan swasthir bhavatuh.
Now singing,
Listening and meaning.
Sarveshaan swasthir bhavatuh.
Third time.
Sarveshaan swasthir bhavatuh.
You see one common element,
Well-being.
You see one water in all the waves.
Do you discard the waves?
No.
Through the waves,
You see the well-being in others.
Means what?
That is the third time.
Singing,
Listening and meaning and knowledge.
You see that?
Through David,
Jerry,
Lara,
Sam,
Daniel,
Sami,
Stephen,
Terry,
I see the well-being.
They become the means,
Not an obstacle.
That is the journey.
Let us do it.
Sarveshaan swasthir bhavatuh.
Sarveshaan swasthir bhavatuh.
Sarveshaan swasthir bhavatuh.
You see?
The mind is constantly projecting anxiety,
Duality.
Why shouldn't I project well-being?
That is instinctive,
Impulsive and habitual.
And this is educating the mind.
Singing and listening,
The second line.
Sarveshaan swasthir bhavatuh.
You sing and listen in your mind.
Sarveshaan swasthir bhavatuh.
Singing,
Listening and meaning.
Sarveshaan swasthir bhavatuh.
Shanti means peace.
Peace.
Are you aware the way I explained to you,
The word,
The meaning,
The knowledge?
Where is Lara?
I know it.
Oh,
Here is Lara.
So that word is gone,
Meaning is gone,
Knowledge remains.
So we are in the second stage in this second line.
Sarveshaan swasthir bhavatuh.
Do you see in your mind?
Sarveshaan swasthir bhavatuh.
Now the knowledge part.
Sarveshaan swasthir bhavatuh.
Even if the person,
We teachers,
Even we see the person in stress,
We say peace is your nature.
The stress is also one thought in the mind.
We are replacing with the shanti.
Is it not the way?
Sarveshaan swasthir bhavatuh.
See the beauty,
The secret,
Understanding of the mantra.
Third line,
Singing and listening.
Sarveshaan bhavatuh.
Sarveshaan bhavatuh.
Sarveshaan puranam bhavatuh.
Now singing,
Listening and meaning.
Purnam,
Complete.
Just tell the mind that I am complete.
What will happen?
When you are complete,
Time comes,
All your anxiety,
Duality,
Conflict,
Your agenda drops from the mind.
When I am complete,
Why to rush?
Sarveshaan puranam bhavatuh.
Sarveshaan puranam bhavatuh.
See the beauty and understanding.
Sarveshaan puranam bhavatuh.
Now the knowledge is applied,
Becomes the wisdom.
Even after I know here is Lara,
Is my mind constantly still asking the same thing?
No,
It stops.
The word and the meaning is left out.
Only the knowledge and the wisdom remains.
Sarveshaan puranam bhavatuh.
See that completeness in you and in everyone.
When I see the incompleteness in others,
That is a thought in the mind.
So that will hesitate my mind.
Why should I see the incompleteness in anyone?
Why to make my mind crazy?
It starts wandering,
Getting obsessed.
Crazy?
I don't want that.
You see the mantra?
Sarveshaan puranam bhavatuh.
Sarveshaan puranam bhavatuh.
I used to see the glow on my master's face when he used to chant.
And then he used to sit for an hour.
We used to look at him.
Fourth line,
Singing and listening.
Sarveshaan bhavatuh.
Even after four more sessions and this is the fifth.
Is your mind feeling,
No,
This is the Sanskrit mantra,
I cannot do it,
It's difficult.
That's why I have chosen the simplest.
Sarveshaan bhavatuh is common in all four lines.
Now the meaning.
Meaning is auspiciousness.
Do you feel anxious in auspiciousness?
Do you feel egoism in auspiciousness?
Do you feel reaction in auspiciousness?
No.
Sarveshaan bhavatuh.
Sarveshaan bhavatuh.
Sarveshaan bhavatuh.
We have started this meditation with these mantras once you recall,
Remember,
Repeat in your mind during the day as many times as possible.
What will happen?
In the beginning I said one hour of listening to the teacher demands nine hours of contemplation.
So nine hours of contemplation will happen by itself.
And you are already doing one practice every day.
There is nothing that needs to be dropped.
What you are doing,
Do it.
And now the applied knowledge.
What is that applied knowledge?
Auspiciousness keeps aside the ego of a seeker and the ego of a teacher.
Seeker and the teacher knows that the knowledge is coming from the tradition,
Not from the human form which is acting as a teacher.
Sarveshaan bhavatuh.
Sarveshaan bhavatuh.
You can change the module,
The way you sing.
We need not to be a singer.
We need to be a seeker.
Sarveshaan bhavatuh.
Now three times,
Do it yourself.
Aum.
Shanti shanti shanti.
So I recognize the first shanti is my real nature.
Second shanti is individual consciousness goes to the body,
Breath,
Mind,
Intellect and ego.
And the third shanti I see in all the beings on this earth.
You know those who tell me that they get angry,
Let them chant it mentally.
If they get angry over there,
Honey,
Let me see how dare they become angry.
You see the shanti in others,
In all,
In everyone.
Now start breathing deep,
Silent and slow.
Not very deep,
Not very short in middle.
So that the mind finds it is naturally deep,
Silent and slow.
So that deep,
Silent and slow breath is your car.
The mind is the driver and the space inside the body is the highway.
So we check consciously whether I'm living in wandering state of the mind or forgetfulness.
How crazy obsessed.
Or that will tell us,
So what we do as you inhale,
Move the mind inside the right arm from the shoulder to the fingertips.
And as you exhale,
Move the mind from the fingertips to the shoulder.
Where?
In the space.
That space is the highway.
You see that?
You have shown your mind the wisdom and the body became totally steady.
Look at it.
It is not the enforcing discipline,
It is earning in the mind.
That keeps the body steady.
Now inside the left arm,
You remember you are aware,
No forgetfulness.
Breath is driver,
Breath is car,
Mind is driver and highway is inside.
The mind is totally absorbed into that highway.
You enter into the fourth state of the mind.
I didn't explain that before.
That is what we learned today briefly.
So once you earn the steadiness in the body,
Then you sustain it.
How you sustain it?
Just by maintaining your awareness of the body.
Not by forcing it.
Force it,
You're gone.
You destroy it.
Now inside the right leg,
That is what Patanjali sees in the very first word,
Atha.
Are you a seeker?
Yes,
Get ready.
I'll teach you yoga,
That is highest state of meditation.
Now inside the left leg.
Every step is important,
The way I have designed and customized these steps.
Now inside the spine,
From the crown of the head to the tailbone,
From the tailbone to the crown of the head.
What did we understand?
Eastern wisdom,
These sutras,
To study these sutra means to study yourself.
So for a few seconds,
The mind forgets.
The moment the mind forgets,
It may move the body or the mind may start thinking of fancies,
Imagination,
It goes out.
Wandering mind,
Visiting may start.
Obsessed mind will pick up any habit and react to it.
Now leave this.
You see that in the beginning,
I always started the meditation being comfortable,
You're already comfortable.
90% of the knowledge practice.
You're carefree,
You're casual.
So Patanjali says,
Dharana in the third chapter,
He says territory of the mind.
And that is what we are doing.
Look at the head and the neck.
Become aware of the space all around the head and the neck.
So the space is a territory.
Spherical space all around the head and the neck.
The more you approach near,
You shape,
Then the sensation.
If we don't confine the territory of the mind,
Then meditation will not succeed according to Patanjali.
Not according to Ashtavakra that we do on Saturdays.
Right arm,
Become aware of the cylindrical space.
The space is the fact.
Boundary of your home,
Cylindrical space.
Then shape of the right arm and the shape reserves into feeling of sensation.
Finished.
We are not doing anything.
We just want to know.
Left arm,
Cylindrical space all around the left arm.
Shape of the left arm.
And the sensation.
Even after being a seeker,
Then we have to move into the fourth state of the mind.
This is the way,
One way,
Not only the way.
Ribcage all around the space.
Does your mind confronts with you?
How can I see this space?
I'm wearing the clothes.
The mind is obsessed with the body.
That will be gone.
The space,
The shape of the ribcage and sensation.
It is very powerful.
You know,
We think what is powerful when we do something.
You go to the gym and you say,
You know,
I have lifted this much of weight.
That is not the approach.
You have a valley all around.
And you have a ring all around the valley of a space and then the shape and then the sensation.
The right leg.
The cylindrical space all around the right leg.
Shape,
Sensation,
Left leg.
You know,
It becomes supply and a fun.
Space,
Shape,
Sensation.
The entire body.
The shape all around.
Dharna.
It says the meditation begins with the very first step of confining the territory of the mind.
You know,
Like we have a dog,
We put a leash.
Now the dog has a territory.
So this mind has a territory.
We go a little deeper,
Head in the neck.
You have a previous experience,
The shape,
The space,
Shape,
Sensation and stillness.
Become aware of that stillness.
It is the stillness in the body.
It is not the stillness of the body.
Stillness of the body will come when the mind will do something and force the discipline.
We discover that stillness.
Right arm.
So recall the previous experience.
Space,
Shape,
Sensation.
What is left?
Stillness.
Can I enjoy that state?
How easy for us to move the mind within?
And understand in Patanjali's yoga,
He says,
Pratyakchita na.
Left arm.
Space,
Shape,
Sensation,
Stillness.
Smooth sailing.
Ribbed clays.
Space all around.
So,
Territory.
Then shape,
Sensation.
We confirm that territory.
Stillness.
We are going deeper.
Everything is there.
Did I explain to you?
If I ask,
Where is Lara?
It is a word.
And you say,
Hear it.
She is finished.
Everything is there.
Belly.
Space.
Shape.
Sensation.
Stillness.
Right leg.
Shape.
Space.
Shape.
Sensation.
Stillness.
Left leg.
Space.
Shape.
Sensation.
Stillness.
Entire body.
Stillness.
In that stillness,
The mind moves.
Not the breath.
Mind moves from the crown of the head to the belly button.
Singing.
Om.
Mind moves,
Rises,
From the belly button to the top of the head.
Singing.
Om.
One day,
Be ready.
I will take you to a deeper,
One hour of meditation practice.
We need to get a feel of it.
But at this moment,
In that stillness,
The Om and the mind moves inside,
Crown of the head to the belly button.
Not the breath.
But the mind and the Om.
Beautiful.
I appreciate yours.
Thank you.
Guo Na Ting.
Om.
Shanti,
Shanti,
Shanti,
Hi.
Om.
Shanti.
Shanti,
Shanti,
Hi.
Om.
Shanti.
Shanti,
Shanti,
Hi.
Bring your mind to the right hand,
To the left hand.
Raise both your palms,
Place it on your closed eyes,
Open the eyes inside the palms,
Know your experiences,
And bring the hands down.
How are you,
Lara?
Hello.
Well,
It was a busy meditation.
Busy meditation.
I got a few moments quiet,
But I,
It's been actually sort of reflective of my week.
I have a lot of projects out there that I'm trying to like,
I think I was trying to pull together.
I forgot,
I have forgotten a lot of things this week.
I like forgot,
I totally forgot a meeting,
Forgot to do something else this week.
I've kind of been,
It's been interesting because I've been so focused on something this afternoon that I sort of let some other things go and like let it be lazy and crazy and like not cleaning up stuff.
So I'm watching myself.
It's really been a reflective,
Reflection of the week.
That is really good,
But you see that?
The subconscious level,
When you set an agenda,
The mind is constantly working and you overload the mind with the practice.
So what happens?
Who takes the dominance this level?
Not the practice.
So do you not practice?
Just think of it.
I mean,
Because I wasn't going to show up today,
To be really honest,
Because I have so much.
I have to take 200 people in two hours.
And so I was like,
I should be really prepping and finishing that level last,
So I didn't show up,
But I was like,
Just show up,
Get it done.
And so the question would be,
Should I not have shown up today?
We will understand when we cover other sutras.
I understand you and your projects.
Stephen,
Now are you?
I'm good.
It was very,
Very quiet.
The aftermath of it is that I'm here.
I'm settled.
Good.
It was very similar to my last ones.
I was very focused on,
It was me,
A very quiet mind,
Your voice,
And a small delay in following your instructions.
From a visual perspective,
It was me and my mind in a white light that never changed from start to finish.
It's a deeper.
Definitely it's a deeper.
We give rest to the body.
No doubt.
We give rest to our digestive system.
That is why we have two and three meals a day.
We are not constantly eating.
What about sense organs in the mind?
I'm just pointing you out.
You need to think it over.
Not everyone,
Just I'm playing,
You know,
But what Stephen did,
It's a deeper.
How are you,
David and Jerry?
Similar to Stephen's.
You know,
I just,
Again,
I heard you through the whole thing.
The place I really got deep was the skull and the outside of the limbs.
That was very interesting because I found that kind of almost like having a compression around the limb or then around my body.
Beautiful.
Yeah,
It was very interesting.
So that was unique.
No,
It was very,
Very good,
Quiet.
It was like Stephen,
I heard you and then there was a delay in sort of reacting to you.
I think it's just because I was so deep.
Beautiful.
Beautiful.
And how are you,
Jerry?
I'm good.
It was quiet meditation.
The mantra is resonating,
I think,
More each time that we do it and becoming clear.
With cylinders,
I notice a lot of heaviness and cool temperature throughout my body.
So really focused,
Each time we go to a new limb,
It feels very cold.
And then when we own from crown to belly,
Just that feels very expansive.
Very,
Very good.
That's a deeper state.
You see,
Again,
My mind goes to my friend Lara.
So when we confine the territory of the mind,
Pay attention.
You are awfully busy,
But when I confine the territory of the mind,
Then there is no place for anything to enter into my mind.
We need to enter into that level of awareness.
And it will happen.
How are you,
Daniel?
Thank you,
I'm good.
So for me today,
That was very quiet meditation.
And that was a moment when my muscles were so relaxed that my head started waving.
But obviously the best part was this silence part at the end.
I really like your voice,
I really do.
But the quiet part was very unique.
And I was like,
I had a feeling that time even stopped.
And I was like,
I'm frozen.
I had a feeling that I didn't even need to breathe.
But it was like frozen moment in time.
That was very nice.
Beautiful,
Beautiful.
You should reject the teacher,
Teacher's voice,
And the mind remains in that deeper state.
That is the success in meditation.
And the teacher loves it.
The teacher always loves it.
How are you,
Terry?
I felt much better during the practice than it was once through the pen light.
And I was very stressed out before practice because I wasn't ready.
But the practice helped me to transcend this comfort.
Good.
So I really liked it.
Really liked it.
Continue the journey,
Don't leave any session.
You see,
That is the power of exchange.
You can see I'm supporting Terry and Jared,
David,
Lara is supporting me.
That's a continuous exchange.
That is how we exchange.
But that has to be done in a very dispassionate manner.
Do you want to say anything,
Terry?
I thought I was going to be late,
So I was very upset.
And like the computer wasn't.
.
.
When you are upset,
Then visualize me and get upset over me.
No,
I just didn't want to be late.
Ah,
You are never late.
That's good.
So Tatiana,
You joined now.
Very good.
Thank you very much,
Prahul,
For joining me.
I'm so sorry.
I didn't see the letter on Monday and I was on my way from Kiev to Popala.
But I'm really happy to see all of you.
So busy,
Busy,
Busy.
No problem.
No problem.
How are you,
Sam?
I don't hear you.
I think we're good.
Yes.
Okay.
Can you hear me okay?
Yeah.
Okay.
Okay,
Cool.
So today was great.
It was a lot of focus on feeling the different areas of my body.
After our meditation on Monday,
I noticed that throughout the day,
I was spending my time both doing and feeling rather than sitting and thinking.
Very good point.
So when I was typing on my keyboard,
Actually feeling my fingers on the keyboard,
Or when I was distracted,
I was just doing checks around my body automatically and spending less time thinking about doing things or not doing things.
You see the beauty that everyone shares their experiences differently.
So what he meant that he was able to maintain awareness of himself even while typing.
And his mind was more absorbed in doing instead of thinking a lot.
So,
In that state,
One realizes the state of calmness.
Because when the mind is constantly busy and buzzing,
Then you don't realize it.
So younger one has always a different explanations.
I don't mean that,
You know,
Everyone is young,
You know,
But I'm using an executive,
So don't think that.
So that is all for today.
Understand,
Understand the journey.
Think it over,
Listen to it again and again and again.
And then we will join on Monday.
Thank you,
Everyone.
Thank you.
Thank you.
