The talk was very enlightening. Significant takeaway for me: While the experience of ultimate bliss makes every other experience inconsequential, it helps to conciously decide to break those habits which lead to only temporary joy.

@Achintyanath 2 года назад

Nothing in creation is inconsequential. Once your consciousness rises your habits and patterns naturally drop away or stay as per your requirement.

@danielnicholson25 2 года назад

I resonated with this.... I have been on a spiritual journey for last couple years and it's been up and down, left and right. At times I have been misguided and overcomplicating things... This is not a knock at Christianity, but during my more recent journey, I was studying the Bible and applying its teachings. I do believe it has great truths in it, but I found myself being fairly judgmental and developing a sort of superiority complex. That's dangerous. I actually had a love/hate relationship with my sins when I finally caved to temptations, because while I was disappointed that I had compromised and failed my goal, I felt the superiority complex wash away, and I could not view myself as "holier than thou". I'm not blaming Christianity or the Bible for this. I simply think it was a personal issue. I was expecting to get some type of reward or something deep down, and my ego got the best of me. Even afterwards, I did look at spiritual peoples belongings and riches in a negative light and judged them for it. I suppose that there is nothing wrong with these things, but rather, being attached and identified with these things is the problem instead. If you can't afford to lose it, you shouldn't have it. Maybe if a Guru threw a fit and started crying if his car got wrecked, then I could be skeptical, but simply experiencing things in life shouldn't be automatically looked down at.

@abhilekhhhh 2 года назад

Sir when I was in class 3 my mother forced me to an one week art of excel workshop. Now I am going to be 20 years of age and now I realise that those 1 week transformed my life forever. It is not that I didn't had hurdles or discontinuation of practices throughout the years. But there is something which always remained constant. I have experienced certain things in the last 2 years and I know this isn't it. And if paramatma has wished I will attain whatever is worth attaining in this lifetime. Om namah shivay.

There is no discussion no dialogue is the sign of ignorance of both. Only to accept answer without discussion can't help to attained enlightenment and sanyas. Social work can't be compared with enlightenment and sanyas.

This very session has made us think really of who we are...our true nature....We are not the 'I' but the bundle of 'I' in the 'One God' united....we are all drops of same ocean...yet we need to realise and overcome barriers to reach our goal in just knowing the real 'I'......just keep calm...doors shall open soon....let us celebrate indeed we are being guided by Gurudev.....love you wholeheartedly😊😊😊

Otherwise, I was really struggling to balance both SPIRITUALITY & WORLDLY OBLIGATIONS ... The Doubts & Confusions were creating FEAR, leading to impaired ACTIONS ...

Even in masjid one finds aura, but again in many masjids around the world, terror attack is planned. So your guruji having daadi, white orbes and siting under a tree hence you are having such feelings. Cheer up man. Sab setup hai. Jo dikhta hai tabhi toa bikta hai.

@MultiGurmukh 2 года назад

Whenever you ask an enlightened person what is enlightenment, he does not answer he remains silent. Answer is through his own calm, composed and ecstatic mind. This is the most authentic of answering, how a person state of mind is when he has arrived otherwise words are mere hint. Some people also understand wrongly ' I 'and enlightenment do no go together so now they have to go to self denial and self annihilation mode, absence of 'I' simply means you have developed 'I', who does not feel insecured, scarred and always feels that he will be taken care every time and goes with the flow of life and lives fully in it.

Enlightenment is actual realization that we are not individuals but just part of whole cosmos. If we see or perceive anything it is psychological disorders schizophrenic hallucinations. Highest maturity and function of brain higher centers makes us entitled for enlightenment. We find happiness only in giving and helping and not seeking and getting.

@drazenbibeskovic3941 2 года назад

Enlightment is a state when one comes out of dark - out of trouble or worries in life. So it can be feelings or knowledge that can solve problems in life with purpose of taking away a stress a thus finding a piece, joy or hapiness. It is period of time without a stress and without a fear. It is only a period until new type of unsolved (stressful) problem arises. Enlightment is subjective to an individual and cannot be transfered - only thought and experienced. Kind of a problem solving skill with focus for life and living in general.
