Time passes! Times change! We hear this said everywhere, and automatically a picture arises in the spirit: We see changing times marching past us! This picture becomes so en-grained that for many it also forms a solid foundation on which they continue to build, adjusting their whole research and speculation to it. Before long, however, they encounter obstacles which contradict each other. However hard they try, not everything will fit in. They lose their way, leaving gaps that can no longer be filled in spite of all their pondering. Many then believe that in such places faith must act as a substitute for the failure of logical reasoning. But this is wrong! Man should not believe in things he cannot grasp! He must try to understand them; for otherwise he opens wide the door to errors, and with errors the Truth is always debased. To believe without understanding is just indolence, mental laziness! It does not lead the spirit upwards, but presses it down. Look upward, therefore, we are to test and investigate. Not for nothing does the urge to do so lie within us. Time! Does it really pass? Why does one encounter obstacles when thinking more deeply about this axiom? Simply because the fundamental idea is wrong; for time stands still! We, however, hurry towards it! We rush into time, which is eternal, and seek the Truth in it. Time stands still. It remains the same, today, yesterday and a thousand years hence! Only the forms change. We plunge into time, to cull from her records for the purpose of enriching our knowledge from what has been collected there! For time has lost nothing, it has recorded all things. It has not changed, because it is eternal. You too, Oh man, are always just the same, whether you appear young or old! You remain what you are! Have you not already sensed this yourself? Do you not clearly notice a difference between the form and your “ego?” Between the body that is subject to change and yourself, the spirit, which is eternal? You seek the Truth! What is Truth? What you still feel to be truth today you will recognize even tomorrow as error, in which, however, you will later again discover grains of truth! For the manifestations also change their forms. Thus your seeking continues, yet amid these changes you mature! Truth, however, remains always the same, it does not change, for it is eternal! And being eternal it can never be clearly and truly grasped by the earthly senses, which are familiar only with the change of forms! Therefore become spiritual! Free from all earthly thoughts, and then you will possess the Truth, will stand in the Truth, bathe in it, and be constantly surrounded by its pure Light, for it will envelop you completely. As soon as you become spiritual, you will swim in it. Then you need no longer study so painstakingly what science has to offer, nor need you fear errors, but you will already have the answer to every question in the Truth itself, moreover, you will no longer have any questions, because without thinking you will know all things, will embrace all things, because your spirit will live in the pure Light, in the Truth! Therefore become spiritually free! Burst all the fetters that hold you down! In The Light Of Truth (Grail Message) by Abdrushin
This is so informative. The challenge is how to keep the mind empty all day long It's possible to do it for a while though.....sometimes ur mind just drifts
@RUSSIAN ROBOT Detach and death are very close to each other. Only one letter and one exchange of the position of letters separate each other. Do you C?
Zen is living in the moment, with no judgement, just being the observer and taking what is as it is. No anxiety of the future no memory of the past, just living in the moment and keeping awareness in the moment.
@@teriakywo3522 from my own personal experience i just gave in to the truth that the past is already done, there were traumas in it too but what can you do, its been done, so i just learned to really forgive and forget it and welcomed the fact that there is still more to life than the past, everyday is a new blessing a new opportunity for me to do what i love to do, and that is to spend time with the people i love and the things i love to do..........for the future, i will just do my best for what i can today, and when that that time comes, il cross the bridge when i get there..... You can only do so much in life, it will never always happen the way you want it but you must focus on what really matters, the little blessings we take forgranted.... You cant control and know the future, but you control Now. "The past and future are only illusions of the mind, there is only Now. - Alan Watts"
You are not reading this by accident. If you're reading this, EVERYTHING'S GOING TO BE ALRIGHT. Good energy is being sent to you from all over the universe. Be thankful and pay it forward
Whoever is going through pain, frustration, depression and loss. Dont give up. You are so close to success. It doesnot matter if things look bad right now. Victory is yours!
Listening to this now, I can’t help but have compassion for my younger self. I had a joyful emptiness in my way of thinking and was judged for it. Please whoever is reading this now…do not allow expectations of others to dim your light because of their ignorance to this knowing. Be the loving embodiment of god that you are.
An empty mind is like a child, always curious to know everything around, without any preassumption or misconception, in a will for accepting the real and not the mythical causes or blindly followed mentality, it is though not filled with assumptions but is eager to think differently,act differently and feel differently.
I go through that...and trust me...it's painful...Mind never comes to a conclusion...it keeps thinking and thinking andbl thinking ...from every perspective possible...and then I frown over the time I wasted thinking about random stuff rather than doing my Jee Prep🤦🏻♂️😅😅 It's very hard to deal with that constant chattering of mind .... Oh I see ...it's not the same as mine ...my mind is never calm... I don't presume or assume things...but my problem is my mind doesn't stay at a place...I wish I could have nothing in my mind and meditate in peace😇✌️
Karthik - “I wish I had nothing in my mind.” That is like saying I wish that my car don’t have any warning signals to tell me when I’m about to run out of gas. Lol.
@@k14michael 😂😂yeah...but what I meant was calmness and stability of mind...like I want it to focus on one thing rather than jumping here and there and behaving so unstable
All this discussion is also to let go & forget & forgo.....paradox on top of it that Letgo of these thinking is also part of subtle mind only , it's like describing the taste of jaggery, it's not at all to be intellectualised but to experience by each one , like food & sleep..... "accept the thing as it is , not as we wanted it to be".... or like finger pointing to the moon to puppy....... where it will look ..... ha....ha....ha....
@@prevedmedved I don't agree with empty your mind, I say keep an open mind. No need to empty it because there's Infinite room an can always accept more into mind as long as ya don't think you know everything. If thinking you know everything then ya can't receive because you think ur cup is already full.
Exactly and to get our mind empty, we need to give up all our worries by putting our head on the ground praying 5times each day minimum.. ❤️ Al Hamdulillah that's how I get a relaxed mind and firm confident soul....
just found this today ....lessons of Qi, Zen, the Buddha ..being on the same page as Joe Rogan ...what a relief ..you are all awake...and "not "under Psychosis formation....thank you ...thank you.... from Manzanita, OR.
I've been meditating for a hour every day for 30 days now going on for a 100, the thing I discoverd about zen meditation is that there is no end goal. The goal is the same as with dancing or singing, simply doing it and being. A flow like state you could say, it's all fun.
You are right! There is no end. And the example given by you is so perfect..it's like singing, dancing, playing a musical instrument...! And not only Zen, but true for all forms of meditation!! Thanks.
The voice behind this channel is helping me with my anger issues. Whenever I feel frustrated I listen to your voice and it works every time and helps me calm down.
These stories have help my spiritual journey this past year! Keep up the amazing content and to everyone else who are on their spiritual journey, keep going. You’re on the right path!
I love this video. Anything less than an empty mind is an attempt to have control over people and situations that you cannot control. You see the truth in every moment. Live each moment. I have found expectations, preconceptions and assumptions cause us pain. Accepting everything and everyone as they are is all you can to do.
Sure I love chess - know very little of it - Magnus Carlsson - the present world champion knows most about it - so in me there are many possibilities & the expert has little? But there are millions like me and just one Carlsson
@@ramaraksha01 Yes, because if you played against a world champion chess player your mind will explode with infinite combinations of moves as you contemplate a strategy. But to the Chess master, it's either winning in the fastest way possible to humble you, losing on purpose so that you boost your self-esteem, or somehow forcing a draw despite your amateur attempts to win thus creating a riveting match.
King Sanky it was Plato that contributed those words to Socrates, as far as we ‘know’ Socrates never actually said them The paradox is that if Socrates ‘knows’ that he ‘knows nothing’, then he must ‘know’ something.
So true. Keep your mind empty, free of thought. The best thing is watch your breath. If you can't watch your breath then focus your attention on any sound like the clock ticking or the ceiling fan. Very soon your mind will be empty and your heart will be filled with happiness.
It's true that the mind should be empty. But we should also try constantly to increase its capacity. An empty cup cannot hold a bucket's contents. So, expansion of our consciousness to increase the capacity is essential. Meditation with yoga techniques is the answer!
Thank you for putting subtitles in your videos. I am from Brazil and my english its not perfect, so for me is easier to read instead of listening. I love your channel your videos fills me with wisdom, keep doing your job. Greetings from Brazil and staaaay blessed!
"That our mind should always be empty " is itself a preconception , that you cant receive anything if your mind is full, how did you know your mind is full? How did you measure it? Whats the limit of full?
It's my 2nd day doing planks, and I did a 1 min. 20 sec. plank while watching this. Idk if this is avg or laughingly small, but I am pretty proud of myself 🥳
@@vamsidocs5137 we are better in everything than you, your zen masters come here to learn and then gain popularity there. First of all if u don't know then don't disrespect.
@@Anand-dx9kn i know about bodhidharma and kung fu but not about zen, you should reply to the one whom i replied bro, he disrespected india man , once take a look at it
really this is a nice motivational video, each lines have deep meanings. "BRAIN" is the only thing that we can achieve good feelings, with the empty of negative & wrong impressions😌
But without preconceptions, experience, and knowledge how can we solve and overcome problems in life. We always need to connect the dots in order to come up with the solutions of different problems which totally is opposite to this theory of not connecting the thoughts. I am not against it, I just want to clarify this as I am totally confused
There are no problems, no dots to connect, only the now. A razors edge between two infinities. Let go of your attachments and preconceived notions and revel in the eternity of the moment
lmfao same and it sucks but what helped me in the past and sometimes still helps me, is to just allow those thoughts to be there without judging them and/or focusing on something different than them like the image of a flower in your mind and maybe it helps you too
Stop your mind's chatter: Watch thoughts, do not stop thoughts, or get involved. Then ask one question: What will be my next thought. Now wait for your next thought. Keep waiting. Keep waiting. Keep waiting. You may ask again, what will be my next thought? A new thought cannot enter. Sweet dreams.
thanks! a wonderful story indeed. our mind hankers after theories, notions and more and more ideas in order to understand more. an empty mind doesn't have to understand any thing as there is nothing to be understood.
