Absolutely brilliant! If you had to listen to only one video of Jagjot, this would be it. Forever grateful to you for expressing the message so succinctly. Hope more people listen to this ❤️🙏🏽 Kannan from Singapore.
Ah, the games the Universe plays 😊… It’s true, that when the student is ready the teacher appears 🙏💗… Based on the material I watch on RU-vid, their algorithms popped this video up, for me… it’s wonderful to discover you Jagjot Singh Ji, and am I grateful, or what 😅… Subscribed now, and looking forward to checking out the rest of your material!
Thank you Jagjot, it is so true sometimes when we sit and look for answer we experience silence but we fail to understand that we need to look/experience the very silence itself and nothing else, but due to ego mind we fail to do so. Om Nomo Bhagavathe Sri Arunachala Ramanaya. 🙏
The Subject (The 'Me' I think of myself) and the Object (The 'Me' I created based on my life situation) can never be close but when the thought of it, is dropped I become one with the universe (i.e., complete) (The True Form of Myself)... Simply a great explanation. Thank You.✌
The sense of “I” is completely absent when one is abiding at the present moment! The “I” can only exist in terms of the past and the future! Imagine how we hang clothes from a rope that is tied at two ends; similarly there is an imaginary rope tied between the points “past” and the “future” and the “I” or its concept, is hanging from this rope! If rope is cut the “I” collapses! And since both those two rope end points are non existent ( because past and future do not exist: only their concept exists in our minds) then how can the “I” exist on its own? This “I” loses, in its attempt for attaining absoluteness and the ability to sustain itself on its own merit, and vanishes. ( because it needs a substratum of the relative states of past and future) The “I” has somewhere to be in the future at 1pm when the present time is noon! The “I” only, reminisces about a loving incident or sorrowful moment in the past!! Therefore there is ONLY happening, but not someone it’s happening to!! It’s so simple to understand this!! Think about it! Thanks Jagjot!
I understand how accepting "what is" can make you peaceful in this life. But I want to know if there is anything I can do to improve the quality of my next life. It seems like you are saying that because of lack of free will and sanskaras that there isn't. Or can accepting what is carry over in some way to a better next life?
Why are you worried about your next life? Do whatever you think is good for you in this life itself. No free will simply means we have no control over the outcome. But we have been given the will to make a choice. So make choices that you feel will be necessary in this life (not the next one) and leave the improvement to the universe. The reality is that there is not even a "you" who chooses, and that understanding in itself brings tremendous relief from suffering.
