With you sir ji

It is all divinity you are talking. Making us divine

Humble prostrations Poojya Swamiji 🙏 A very significant exposition - Brahma Nirvana is my birthright, it is a goal which is so readily available if I am able to introspect and assimilate. As a human, I cannot forget the self ,in chasing material objects, which are transitory. I must look for something within. Passion and prejudice is because of grief, delusion and ignorance . Understanding that my mind is subtler than space, in such a mind, love ,fear, hatred, can do nothing. So beautifully, practically Swamiji, you are drilling it in us that the mind is profound and vast. Once we learn to introspect and evaluate emotions like fear and hatred will become trifling. Reverential gratitude for this profound, powerful satsanga🙏

Pranams Swamiji. Though I have read and heard about the greatness of the mind many times from Swamiji, in this discourse Swamiji hammered the understanding emphatically by directly explaining that love, hatred and fear are infinitesimal portion of the vast mind. All emotions are happening on the mind's surface and they cannot overwhelm the mind. Mind has the capacity to remain afloat above any emotion. Any emotion becomes trifling in the vast mind! This is simple to understand and easy to remember. The self actualisation of this understanding is liberation. Thank you Swamiji. Jai Guru.

My humble pranaams at your lotus feet. The message is so revelling. Never ever thought why we get drowned in emotion and lose our identity without realising how magnificent and vast the mind is to obliterate such minute surges that surfaces in the mind. I completely surrender at your feet for guidance.

Pranaam Poojya Swamiji; First of all I felt this lecture was so empowering; full of practical exercises; simply sublime. I have to repeat & repeat hearing it so many times so that I am able to retain it well; I always wonder if your english lectures are so powerful what would your Malayali lectures be like? Kindly subtitle them for people who dont know Malayali ; thanks to the digital age I can benefit from your, Notun Swamiji & Swamini 's lectures sitting 10,000 km away; Pranam ! 🙏

JAI GURU
