Why such deep knowledge and lectures are only part of IIT , IIM, IAS IPS..this should be available to everyone..specially if we want to overcome the current ignorance in the world..
For long years I struggled to grasp the philosophy of Emmanuel Kant & Arthur Schopenhauer ..This one hour hearing the Guru made it possible to constructively attempt to assimilate the principles of Free Will & Determinism ! Immense Gratitude in receiving this content .It is humbling and enlightening ! Thank You.
In my opinion,there is distinctive difference between reading a book &trying to understand,for an individual,where in students understanding limitation is main cause. When Guru ma Explains she does it with her spiritual mind knowledge. She knows the recipient's here students ability and explains in that language which can be easily understood.she gives background meanings so that we understand. This penetrative more than our reading &understanding. She knows students limitations through her spiritual experience.
Such an heavy subject dint even think one could explain it so well that anyone can understand..I am wordstruck, I am running out of adjectives to admire and celebrate the speech of Matajee...This generation definitely need such preachings...she has definitely nailed it...Lets together incorporate such preachings into our life to make it a better world to live in...Fantabulous..!
I am a neurologist and very much appreciate insignts she is describing. I wish we had such lectures in every med school. One point to note, experiment she quoted has flaws in its conclusion. Most of our actions are due to acquired reflexes. Brain rewires constantly, it is plastic. What you do rewires brain which then causes subconscious response to most actions. So even though subconscious it is still a product of what you have acquired by your actions. So you will be responsible for such result. Also recording from motor cortex is not useful as motor cortex is final output site from cortex. Recording from, premotor cortex is important. I explain more if one is interested.
Sorry to say this but Science is a growing child in schools and is still learning. There are many unresolved mysteries which science is still struggling or coming out with some theories which are normally not challenged. Many experiments of science were proved wrong earlier or even concluded incorrectly. My point is not to say anything against you or science, as without which, we could not have achieved so much. High regards for medical fraternity. The objective of my writing is just to convey that science is still a child going to 8th standard and need more learning whereas Indian ancient science completed its PhD 5000 years back. Much ahead.
It's sanskaar the training that gives a possibility for rewiring. Conscious .. is something .. which science yet to explore .. the conscious term not in the medical sense signatures for awake.
Determination and free will are the terms we youths mostly believe can't be practised in today's time. Well, its time to change this idea. Listening to this video has made these terms clear and easy in the simplest and most spectacular way...
Karma Yoga as a philosophy for developing Effective Leadership is rarely part of the usual discourse. So, for IIT to have structured this into a credit course deserves much appreciation. This lecture on Free Will is an absolute treat. There are several clues provided and assumedly would be an eye-opener for most. Kudos to the course formulator!
Excellent!!! I'm following her lectures for some time now. Very very enriching for a person like me. It's not only for these young people, it's all for those who want to make the life meaningful & worthwhile. My pranam to Mataji. Joy Thakur, Joy Ma,Joy Swamiji Maharaj.🙏🙏🙏
On what basis you are saying that we can live a meaningful life...and who will decide what is a meaningful life? and how can i do that willingly? Isn't that a Paradox?
There's no free will. She's saying we can do things based on our will. That's true. But that doesn't mean our will is free. It doesn't prove free will. There is will and we act upon it but we don't have free will.
Free Will is just a mechanism for the false self (I am ness/ego) to function in daily life. In reality there is no Free will at all. Everything is predetermined. This "reason" is a story constructed by the ego/I to make it appear like the choice was made consciously and logically. The ego jump and hold of the accountability of any actions as his own which causes bondage. When you [Ego] takes the accountability of an action, of course it is bound to enjoy the result of his action. The Ego is what suffers in pain and negative circumstances. In reality, Ego is not what you are. You are the 'consciousness' which is required for even the ego to arise at first place. As long as you are in the clutches of false self/ego, you will suffer from your so so called worldly experiences. Dive deep within and transcend the ego/mind/intellect and gunas, then you see what is left and reach the supreme state of Bliss. We must hear the people who have talked from that state - Ramana Maharshi/Nisargadatta Maharaj etc. And we must also really pay attention is that, when one is that supreme state of void (Brahman), there is no mind/intellect to govern the thoughts. This is a absolute thoughtless state. And all actions arise spontaneously (read that thrice). This is what the sages mentions as FREE WILL which becomes nothing less as COSMIC WILL. Then Your WILL becomes GODS WILL which is infinite and limitless.
Extraordinary presentation on an important topic . Embedded with scientific analysis.Swami Vivekananda emphatically says we are the makers of our own destiny.
This is not just a superb summary of determination and free will but the video provides vital points on how to free the will.Very comprehensive information.Insights from Yoga and Vedanta are spectacular.
It is a relief to know, to understand that with a strongly developed will, we cease to be victims of circumstance. What a wonderful message of strength! Thank you so very much Divyanandapranaji.
I regularly attend the Vedanta Center of Greater Washington D.C. but I can’t let go of notion that this Jugat manifested via, intelligence and serves an intelligent purpose. Saguna aspect but not an individual? Very difficult to explain. What I do know is that Mahatmas are serving and perpetuating Dharma and to this knowingness, I thank you and I bow.
Pranam Mataji it is a blessing to hear such a wonderful talk you have given such a lucid explanation of such an essential element of our inherent nature
Such clear advice so beautifully delivered. What are you. So grateful for getting you on line. Indeed such teachings are a blessing for us.Pranam matha.
I have no words that can Thank You for shearing such precious knowledge! I have been listening you almost everyday. Your words are being like a juice or diet that nutrients mind, body, health and to soul, that I have been observed after listening you. Thanks a lot, I bow on you 👏
As I was confused whether we are destined to do our karmas or can we do karma consciously, I got this lecture of Mataji. Feeling like mother devine is directly guiding me. Thanks a lot Mataji Pranam🙏🙏🙏
Extraordinary Talk. So enlightening Swamini delivered with wisdom and Eloquence I follow all her talks. These young students are lucky to have this Teacher
Free will is an oxymoron. In freedom there is no will and in will there is no freedom. There only is a facade of free will which from the highest realm is illusiory.
Trust Divyanandprana Mataji to take the debate of the highest intellectual level between Determinism and Free Will and deliver it in all simplicity for students to understand! She inspires one and holds out the absolute conviction that our Life is truly in our hands. There is no question of 'hope' - it is conviction that we are the makers of our own Destiny and Life.
01 :09 :00.That's y they say Vinaash kaale vipreet budhi..su ur karma paap/punya catch hold of ur budhi..so actually paap/punya , d cosmic karma effect discussed here do an inception into our minds...Hmm....I wish this video can go on forever...Life changing knowledge..
if by using yoga Vedanta we can become free, but the will that drives us to practice yoga is itself not free. so the process leading to freeing is itself a process of cause and effect. So will it really lead to free will? or will it be just another layer of illusion leading us to believe that we are free.

But also it created stars, suns, human beings, galaxis ....planets, etc, etc all throughout such counciousness´s will ( Sankalpa ) or SUPREME CONSCIOUSNESS.. which is also known as SHIVA. Not properly an special divine being on a particular spot....but rather one state of higher consciousness achieved within us throughout meditation practice... as an intense sadhana commitment....among much else...
I am confused about what is awareness. What is this state? When I am watching my thoughts, can I not say that I am aware of my thoughts. And if there is no thought then where my awareness is focused on? I really want to know these answers.
