when did I sing I had a vision I was feeling water in tank and suddenly I saw
that it had no rim on half the side and water inside was still holding ground shape very good continue practice
probably you're asking what is the meaning of that it simply means that mind creates these images and sometimes
they are impossible type and that is your opportunity to wake up from the
dream there you can become aware that this is a dream this is impossible situation and
you can utilize this as a signal that I need to become aware now that is the
probably that is the meaning of unusual dreams you can use them to become aware
because your intellect will say this is an impossible situation and then there
is an opportunity to see that it is not real so we do train ourselves to detect
these kind of situations do your training in the daytime and you will automatically become aware in the dream
this is one technique I know very effective technique which
happens to most of the people it is very common and that is used as a trigger for
awareness in the dream and that is the switching on off of the lights in the physical world if you
switch on the light most of the time it will turn on if it is faulty then no it
won't turn on but that happens very rarely but in the dream when you switch on the lights usually nothing happens
because there is no real connection between the switch and the light bulb so
it can turn on or it can remain the same or this your finger will go through the
switch something like this will happen whenever you turn on the switch in the
daytime you should you should check whether this is a dream or the waking State train yourself like this strain
your mind simply to check because you turn on the switches probably three four times per day probably more and the same
training will continue in the dream and when you turn on the switch in the dream and nothing happens something unusual
happens then you will be triggered to become aware the awareness trigger will
work there and if you think no I never turn on the switches in the dream you can use any
other trigger for example food food in the dream does not satisfy your hunger
probably it has no taste also so whenever you are eating in the daytime just train yourself to check once is it
a dream is it waking and then the same habit will continue same training will continue in the dream and the food will
become the trigger this is usually called the reality check technique it is very effective I did
this to get rid of the negative dreams because I trained myself to become aware
as soon as the dream turns negative some kind of messy situation happens there
and within few days those dreams totally stopped
so it has some use yes this technique is very useful suppose let us say you often
see a person the same person most of your dreams once or twice a week then you can train yourself that whenever
this person appears I'll do a reality check and usually that works much better
so it works very nicely naturally on people that are dead if you see a dead
person in the dream if there is a little bit of awareness you can always question it that how come you are here you are
dead and that will become your trigger that this is actually a dream those who are doing awareness practice
in the daytime they don't need to do these kind of tricks they can become naturally aware
sky is asking I do get violent thoughts lower quality thought how does it affect
the progress what are you doing what kind of progress do you mean are you doing any kind of practice where the
thoughts are important everybody gets the violent thoughts everybody gets all kinds of thoughts he does not really
matter because it is a machine it keeps thinking depending on what is fed into it so yes if you your life situation is
like this that you got into some kind of fights you are having problems with
people and all so obviously it is most natural that there will be negative thoughts while in thoughts
so what should we do about it stop thinking that is not possible because there is nobody who is thinking so you
can only ensure that you don't stay in that kind of environment which is the
cause of these thoughts another thing which is in your control is that do not act on these thoughts let
them play out because they need to be released there is some energy there which is producing these thoughts you
can repress them but they will come back again so just like we let the wood burn
in the fire then it won't catch the fire in the same way if you let thoughts play in your mind and do not act on them they
burn out but that is really temporary cure permanent cure is knowledge that I am
not these thoughts this cures them permanently just like I am not the rain I am not the
wind they are not mine and I am not also anything positive in the mind and at the same time making some effort to improve
your situation live a simple and self-dependent life where you don't need
to hear anybody where you don't need to live in situation which produces these thoughts it's very easy
Skies saying spiritual progress that's what I was asking what kind of practice
are you doing if you're not doing any practice if you don't do not have any Guru you have not joined any tradition
in any path then there won't be any progress it does not matter what you think if you are not doing it properly
systematically then there is no chance of any progress and if your thoughts are
all beautiful then pretty still there won't be any progress
taught by satguru no these things do not depend on the thought process they are
automatic processes and did you get initiated by satguru or are you doing
the mechanical practice okay then no amount of thinking of any kind will
interfere in this practice Madrid asking can intellect become my
inner voice or it may also causing delusion of mind if the intellect is
causing delusion then it is in pure intellect so you can know that by simply checking that whatever your intellect is
saying whether it is giving you good results or not that's possible
the outcome of your action will show you what is causing delusion what is useful
experiment Raja is saying his desire for seeking same as other The Desires in Duality or
seeking an instance of Grace yes it is same as any other desire you want
something and it is also Grace because you get something useful out of it instead of something worldly both the
problem is thinking that the grace will come as something extraordinary this is
the problem this is the assumption that if it is an event of Grace it it has to
be extraordinary no it can come as any ordinary desire desire to buy a book
spiritual book desire to watch a video desire to go to satsang and so on
the people will think no it is not extraordinary nothing spiritual about it
so it cannot be Grace but it is not like this your desire to know something is
very ordinary desire but it is a great event of Grace as some people recognize
it and that becomes special for them and some people simply ignore it thinking that it is just like any other desire
this guy is saying in The Path of Knowledge course you ask us to be financially independent so far it's been
not the case despite years of my efforts no problem see that question is asked so
that you can pay attention to The Path of Knowledge if there is a financial problem then most of your your energy
time effort will go into that and the Seeker will not be able to pay attention
to what is said there will not be able to listen peacefully uh probably that won't be their priority
because there is no food in on their table on the plate so how can they even
take interest in these things that everything is illusion and I'm Brahman and these things are meaningless then
first need to be independent you should have a good financial position situation
and there is an option there which says that I am not earning but I don't have
any Financial issues probably something like this when that question is asked about financial situation there is an
option that I am dependent but I don't have any Financial issues and these
people are also eligible because they are not going to think about money all day and night even though they are not
earning themselves probably they are so rich their parents are so rich don't
need to think about it so they are also eligible for the program
it is not simply about financial Independence there is some logic behind
it that the state of the Mind should be peaceful in order to grasp this very very actually it is simple but for
newcomers it is difficult if you have the desire then nobody can
stop you these filters are simply to stop overcrowding of the program
Raja is asking waking State experiments have proved Beyond doubt and convince this mind the reality is existence and
experiences in a duality is illusion kindly through light if they have done
it for you then you don't do not need any other explanation if you are saying that you are completely convinced that
the experiences are illusory and I am the experiencer but they are one and the
same anyway if you have arrived at this Essential Knowledge then you don't do
not need any other explanation your job is done it is complete now your your study is complete your seeking is
complete nothing more needs to be done and nothing more needs to be known what is there to know now if you have
anything specific you can ask me but this is the final knowledge if you are convinced about it your job is done now
enjoy your life there is no practice nothing to do nowhere to progress which
is if you want to know something specific let me know Kunal is asking since few weeks this
body has been experiencing intense fear and the past habit patterns caused this fear and what could be the reason of
that experience probably this is a simple case of projection which happens to everybody
every night and because of your practices or you can say because of because you are on the path and you if
you are doing the awareness practice in the daytime there is a little bit of awareness while this happens while the
projection which is spontaneous projection we call it the spontaneous projection and it happens to everybody
but in your case probably due to some little bit of awareness you are able to
remember it you are able to witness it wet then the Mind does not understand
really what is happening the waiting State intellect has no idea what is happening so it will interpret the
experience as something strange and if there is a fear in the mind then
obviously it will interpret it as a bad experience that something strange happened
like you are seeing some force was pulling me out of this body no nothing usually pulls anybody out of the body
but whatever natural process is there will be interpreted like this that I am
not doing it so somebody else must be doing it this is the waking State intellect it has no idea what what
happens so it is a case of wrong interpretation of a spontaneous projection and that is
my interpretation who can know these things so yes the cause of wrong interpretation
can be your fear because you have never practiced in a systematic way never
taken any knowledge of this thing because if you had I don't know whether you are in the
program or not are you in the program no okay you are in the program but you see
that projected Street experiments they come in the step number four in the old
program now they will be they are removed from the new program they were shifted to the Tantra Bodhi program
but it is somewhat clear that why you don't know what is happening and there
is an interpretation that sounds like a horror movie because that's what is your impression anyhow
once you know what is this process of going in these projected States how does
it feel like if you read about it if you research and you know find out what
happens to what is the experience of the other people and they will describe it similar way then it happens on its own
sometimes not always then you get a control once you come to know all the
steps that happen in this kind of experience then the fear is gone then it becomes ordinary this is the process
this is the progress and then you get enough control that you
can do it anytime yes it will not happen simply because you have done the program the program gives you only the knowledge
and the knowledge removes all the fear because you see in the this experiment
will describe it in a lot of detail that what happens during such a projection
sounds and feelings feelings of rising up and feelings of leaving the body
nothing leaves the body actually the sensation of the body drops and it feels like I'm gone from the body
so all these interpretations are a result of ignorance and what is really
happening is perfectly normal natural in the mind the cooks up a story you know
mind makes a monster out of it because it knows nothing about this very very simple process of cutting off of the
senses and the memory regions changing into other memory region instead of the waking memory
this is very simple and natural process it is very important especially in the occult it is important because you get
to know the larger illusion mahamaya so it seems like nothing is wrong only a
little bit of training and knowledge is needed and why is there awareness suddenly because you are listening to
all the spiritual talk you see this the spiritual knowledge is so powerful that simply listening to it can cause changes
in the mind but if it is done systematically properly then there won't be side effects
you see you must have seen these people they are told that the world is an illusion your life is totally false now
we are talking about non-systematic thing here they heard it somewhere but see this is powerful
somewhere deep down that mind knows that this is true is probably that that person has done a little bit of
spiritual practice in past lives and so on so they hear it they simply catch it but the mind is not ready really nor the
intellect it is not ready to hear these things so either the Fallen depression or the Fallen disbelief are they shocked
in any kind of reaction can happen but imagine if the same person is taken systematically into the same knowledge
now nothing unusual will happen no bells and whistles
because it all was taken very smoothly because the teacher knows how to avoid
this kind of collusion explosion in the mind so when you go and systematically
sometimes the mind is blown to pieces that is not a healthy practice so we do
it step by step usually the self-knowledge precedes the
knowledge of the illusion and then there should not be any fear or depression or unusual mental disorder if you provide
that person the Seeker knowledge of the illusion first then nobody can predict
what can happen depending on the formation of that mind what is stored in the mind depending on that any reaction
is possible but as soon as you tell who you are then the fear is lost because
all these things are not happening to me all these experiences all this illusion is not happening to me I am the truth
this is told you see when we say what is illusion we also tell what is not illusion this is called systematic
knowledge and it is proven like this it says not simply sent and what happens when people listen to videos and read
the books and all yes the mind is blown because they have no place to stand now because whatever they thought is me or
that they assume that the world is real and so on is simply take can away from them so the obvious natural reaction is
of fear what is happening now what will happen to me now if I have no and not the body then who am I am I a ghost so
problem you see ignorance is the problem and not going systematically on the
spiritual path is the problem not having a guru very big problem because then they search for the answers in the trash
like a hungry beggar baby will find anything that they find that they can
get in the trash and that that causes a lot of issues in the mind they fall in
conspiracies superstitions or they get deluded by these things for such people the word
spirituality always means a horror movie you must have seen these things because they start seeing the spirits and all
and so on there is a lot of difference between spirits and spirituality
so there is no end to ignorance no end to the drama that is happening in the world in the name of spirituality and
probably that is the reason that the local things were kept a secret because
they can cause problems in the mind like small experience can can be troubling
little bit but my suggestion is you know nothing to worry if it happens two or
three times more the mind will become habitual of this oh this also happens and then it will stop happening
its novelty is frightening not the experience itself because it is not real even the projection is not real because
when the waking is not real then what can be real nothing so nothing to worry nothing will happen to you because the
fear comes from this thought what is happening to me and the me is taken as the body in the mind or something like
this some kind of experience is me and that experience is going to end now so there will be fear
so if there is no self-knowledge then any experience will trouble you because mind will make up a story about it
something is going to happen to me this is the ego and now it is doing its job its job is
survival so it produces the reaction sphere and so on anger but that is not
productive it is simply something random that has happened nothing to do with your spiritual progress
vipin is asking what is initiation are all Seekers that do 3D program initiated
some differences there it simply means beginning initial initialization initiate the process
that's all it means on The Path of Knowledge there is no formal initiation
on other paths there is a big ritual that happens during the when you start
the path so it is not important on The Path of Knowledge as soon as you decide
that I want to take up this path now I want to progress on this path it is done
there is initiation happened nothing else happens on The Path of Knowledge in during this kind of beginning process
Abhishek is saying people have fear of losing the known a fear of unknown is very common and it is probably necessary
for the survival also otherwise people will not take that kind of precaution
fear prevents harmful action so it is natural we don't want to get rid of this
fear if we want to get the knowledge so that it does not arise you know make the unknown the known and the problem is
gone no but I don't have any experience how can it be known no from others experiences this body mind is very much
similar to other body Minds yes one in a hundred is going to have some kind of extraordinary experience but that is not
the general once you read or listen to these people who are having these
experiences the fear goes away because the mind reads it has a confirmation as
a knowledge although the real knowledge you will have only during the experience only
after the experience but this much is also convincing you
know when you don't have a direct experience then anything that can help is okay no problem at all all those
strictly you will never come to know from somebody else's experience but the
fear of unknown can be reduced oh my Guru is saying it is ordinary
these people are having all the experiences they are not dead and nothing was harmed they have not gone
mad they were not captured by Spirits demons and then is you know this much is
enough to calm down the mind this baby mind always worried about me Mimi even
after the even after it gets the knowledge that I am not this body mind this these Tendencies they continue of
fear and so on worry and so on I think that is healthy nothing abnormal in that
but it should not be so intense because somebody comes behind you and shouts loudly obviously the body mind is going
to react with fear it will simply jump from the chair perfectly healthy perfectly normal but if it stays in fear
for one hour then one day then one week now that is not normal I'm just giving
an example because after knowing that somebody simply shouted from behind it is true it was completely harmless joke
the Mind should calm down and same after having all these extraordinary
experiences strange experiences which are new to you mind will jump once or
twice after that they are normal it's a dirty thing few such things ago
you mentioned using awareness to intensify intention I tried this and it works but it's extremely energy training
I think I said that use intention to intensify the awareness not reverse are
you sure I'm thinking why I said that use awareness to bring in attention to
your intent I forgot completely but usually there is a question that you say
how should I maintain the awareness and for that one of the method is to hold a
very very strong intention that I will remain aware no matter what you know like this repeat it repeat it repeat it
it must be done and that has a good effect but this one to use awareness to
bring attention to your intent I'm not very sure now see if there is an
intention and there is also awareness then obviously it will be illuminated in
the light of awareness attention and obviously there will be a little bit of
intensification although I don't understand really what what is the meaning of that so anyhow you can send
me the link to that satsang I listen to it probably they'll meant something else
what happens is you see when there is awareness and there is some desire because intention is what it is our only
strong desire so because of awareness actually the desire will be washed out
it will look like an important I need to check why I said this thing that is what
is called Detachment the awareness causes loss of intention
sometimes not always probably with the unimportant if there is something really
unimportant that comes in the mind becomes your intention and if you are aware then it is guaranteed that it will
be God no action will happen on that so I don't have any idea why this can be extremely energy Trading
but I can tell you that if some kind of practice is draining if it produces a
negative effect then it is a faulty practice it should not be done that much I can tell you probably it will be
suitable for somebody else but it looks like that it is not suitable for you okay here's the link okay okay I'll
listen to it probably it was not that clear probably there so right now I cannot listen to it because such thing
is going on okay let's let's go to the next question yes the my suggestion is you know not do
anything that causes energy drain or these kind of negative feelings do not
do it can you help me understand how we are not the doer when it appears there is
the experience of making ourselves get out of bed and clean the house when you
get out of the bed in the clay and clean the house you are the doer no problem at all what is getting out of the bed and
what is cleaning the house is the body the body is doing it so in the most
common sense form this body and mind is the Doer who is not the doer your essence it is
simply watching it is the Observer so you should not use the word we the correct word is I I am not the doer
there is only one eye so why should we use V are there many many experiences to
use the plural no singular I am not the doer they're the same eye in everybody I
am that I so the first you know the language is totally wrong here if you
say how I am not the doer and then you say the experience of making I get out
of the bed then it will become clear that the eye never gets out out of the bed the eye never cleans the house this
illusory form is doing it no problem it is Bluer looks like that in the illusion
the doer is also illusion so in the reality there is no Doer so simple isn't it
what is the error there in the concept of doer I'll clear it even more is that
the doer is an entity it is a single thing which things which has desires
which has free will all these assumptions are wrong so what do we say
it is happening the getting out of the bed is happening and the cleaning is happening when you say that is
cumbersome to say like this and everybody laughs at these things these kind of sentences so we say in the
illusion the doer is the body mind yes but it is completely false it is an assumed Concept in reality there is no
dual no single thing that is doing anything
all is appearing that is the very accurate sentence that it all appears
like this it appears that the body got out of the bed it appears that there is
a house which is dirty and it appears that somebody did the work that that somebody is me so a long series of
Illusions like peeling of onions layers of Illusion but what is the truth simply
appearing to be there all these things are simply appearing to be there so what do we say the doer is twice
removed from the reality not only the body and mind are Illusions the concept
that the body and mind is the doer and I am that is actually doubly wrong it is
double illusion on top of this illusion of the body mind that let us take another example we say
that the flower is very beautiful now this is a double illusion why because
the flower itself is an illusion and is perceived beauty is double illusion the
beauty is then added on on the top of this first illusion a flower
there are other examples like you're watching a movie and there
is a monster in the movie and how do you describe the monster the monster was terrifying and he ate so many people
what what is the reality net nothing like this happened second it was a movie
the first illusion is it was simply special effect or acting and the sick and another layer of the illusion is
that it was actually hap it happened in a movie the movie's illusion and the monster doing things in the movie Double
illusion so the doer is such a thing it is a double illusion sky is saying please pardon me for many
questions perhaps close to the last question I've been studying vedanta for few years intellectually I understand
but many times when situation comes either emotions or hormones overpower my
actions how to improve that is there a need to improve that this machine is made to do like this what you should
avoid is wrong action which causes suffering that much you need to take
care but whenever it is overcome by emotions or hormones
Perfectly Natural that is how it functions it is like saying that whenever I start my car and press the
pedal it starts running what should I do how to improve this thing now it is made
to run like this it's perfectly okay just do not hit your car to a tree or do
not let it fall down from a mountain that's all you need to worry about that is the only Improvement you want in your
driving don't want to stop the car forever the hormones ensure that you see there is a
behavior pattern of some kind no problem is it causing harm of some kind to you or other people problem then it's
problem the hormone is not the problem then the emotions are the bad the emotion make you a human without them
you are a rock a robot how to improve this situation just don't do that which causes harm let the emotions be there
what if it causes harm you will learn how do we learn by mistakes
so this is how to improve you let the mother nature function as she usually
does and if there is a mistake learn from it Improvement will happen automatically yes you know some people
they simply let it run they do whatever they want to do and they never learn from it and they never grow they never
become mature so what was set up for a beautiful life
happy life has become a curse for them because the discernment is not there or
you can say in ordinary language the intelligence is lacking so another answer to your question can
be do not try to improve these things hormones or emotion they are perfect improve your intelligence that's all and
let the Mind Control its own instrument because who's there who else is there who can control all you have is the mind
so an intelligent person will let the hormones run no problem they Keep Us
Alive let the emotions run they make us humans but will not do anything stupid that causes trouble that causes
negativity it is very simple you see what do people want they want a magical
cure forgetting that the magic is in inside you not outside nobody can cure these things you already have all these
gifts the gifts that people call Powers superpowers you already have them but
you don't know how to utilize them isn't that emotion a superpower who else
has this in the entire universe there is infinite amount of matter in the
universe who has this ability of emotions only you the humans some
animals probably so it is so rare you see it is so rare it is a very rare power but how are you using it we don't
know how are people using these Powers emotion is very common but intelligence
is even more rare how are they using the intelligence to earn money to exploit
people to consume things to kill people competition that is how the intelligence
is being used although it is a superpower actually on this complete you know in
this whole world only humans have this kind of power by well I I mean the planet because our group is a spiritual
group we should always take care when we say the whole universe because there are
a lot many things in this better than humans also especially in this on this planet nobody has this kind of power do
they utilize it no what are they running after imaginary
things imaginary Powers which they will never get so the key to self-improvement is
learning from your own mistakes and that makes you intelligent get more experience progress very simple
I was listening to siddharth's link it was about mixing of awareness and
intention it was about the impurities actually I was talking about impurities and how awareness can help in that
because the impurities if they are going to produce an action which will be obviously wrong action the awareness can
detect the impurity and will avoid and there won't be any action you can avoid
acting because of awareness there what is the role of intention here is to
hold this intention that I am not going to act on this impurity which is simply
faulty process so the these two combined then intensify this purification process
because the awareness will detect the impurity and the intention will say that I don't want this I want something else
to happen usually awareness enough should be usually awareness alone should
be enough but the intention makes the process faster that is what I meant actually it was regarding impurities it
is not our regular practice in the regular practice you should hold
this intention that I will remain aware in all situations all states of the mind
and that helps to bring the awareness but in case of impurities the intention
is somewhat different that I don't want a bad action which is called with the
same Purity is trying to cause that is the difference between your ordinary practice and this removal of impurities
so hopefully that will be clear now and we can end our today's meeting here
hopefully everybody got their answers and I'll see you next time thank you very much for attending today's satsang
