My observation is idea of non-doership is easy after retirement if you feel you have enough for the remaining part since there is no forced doing for earning. My observation is many people feel comfortable with this concept after retirement. So fundamentally you have to fix how long we can work and how much we need?
This observation is based on middle class mindset and people below that . For rich people, I feel there should be someone who can represent and talk for themselves. I wonder why there is less representation here.
It is somewhat strange to say that i finally met my Guru while at the same time recognising that there's no difference or separation between us. 5 years ago this "i" died before death and "i" still cant find the right words to explain what happened, only that there's no separation and that every-thing is perfect as it is, although the (conditioned) mind totally disagree with this understanding. Some days after that experience there was a bus ride need to be made but somehow it wasn't necessary to check for time to leave home, or to check the timetable of the bus and came on time at exactly the right moment. It was an appointment with family to (try) to explain them what has happened and instead of understanding my younger brother tried to fight me :-) , even that was ok in that moment. This object called Michael suffers or has suffered from addiction, anxiety, depression and panick attacks, most of it is still there but there isn't much identification with it anymore. After that peaceful period following Grace that (depressed) and anxious mind came back into play as well as the addiction, as if no-thing changed while at the same time all has changed, maybe it's what the Buddha meant while he (supposedly) said: before enlightenment chop wood and carry water, after enlightenment chop wood and carry water". For a couple of years this "i" tried to get back to the same place as in 2019 but only found more struggles, A deeper understanding narrowed the search down from all types of spirituality towards Advaita Vedanta as somehow a deeper understanding knew this is the path to take, although there wasn't a me to choose this path. I wanted to say that i chose to buy the Ashtavakra Gita but a deeper understanding knows i wasn't in control of this it just had to be so. The Ashtavakra Gita explained it all and took away many insecurities, while at the same time it felt as if the (apparent) separation between me and society only became bigger. Mini "i" still tried to find help regarding the addiction for the 9th time but it turned out it isn't in my destiny to find help, instead they believe this "i" might be in a psychosis or something (which isn't helpfull mindwise), while at the same time i feel it's the other way round as they only apply fear about a possible Korsakoff etc and believe in free will. Then Ramesh Balsekar's book called "the infamous Ego" came into awareness and i needed to buy it, what happened to David Godman after buying a book of Ramana Maharshi when he said "it completely shut me up" that happened to me after reading this book. The need to buy alcohol dissapeared for a couple of days but it keeps popping up again and again, and there is no control over it. Today after this Michael managed to stay sober for 3 days again another force turned out to be bigger, while at the same time i accepted it instead of fighting. But everytime this stuff happens a search for truth arises so i came today at this video, i haven't even watched it but only 5 minutes when i started crying and decided to post this.
Greg is light years ahead of his peers. I would love to hang out with him. Rameshji is just the best teacher if you follow him step by step. ❤🙏🏾🔥 thank you so much.
I know Goran. Because he plays guitar, Ramesh once got him to play in front of Leonard Cohen saying, "look you're both musicians". Goran was just a guy who liked playing devotional songs on his guitar haha
