Samadhi and Self-realization

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWHu0ya9VE4

is samadhi and self-realization

are same

well

these you know two words they come from

two different um

what you call traditions samadhi

is the word that is used in yog

tradition

tradition

self-realization is you can

translate it into sanskrit as the art

again or

a self-knowledge

knowing what you are which comes from

that tradition you see if you if you

want to compare them

then i see the samadhi as a result of

self-realization

isn't it the self-realization needs to

happen only once how many times are you

going to know who you are only once

and then the result of this knowledge is

sitting in between the experience and

the experiencer when you sit in between

the experience and experiencer that is

samadhi

samadhi means balanced intellect

some means balance he is intellect like

buddhi or bodhi

when you are in this state that means

the

intellect is not going too much into the

experience like not involved in it and

is not like hunting for who is

experiencing that who is there who is

there

you know that is madness also

then

it is in between it is sitting

nicely comfortably in between both these

two dualities

you see

and that is sagun samadhi

which means

we know we know there are two dimensions

here the duality is here but we are okay

with it

that is the cervical samadhi

is kind of useless isn't it it does not

last

there will come you will come out of

there will come

into the cervical

pretty soon

which i think is should not be the goal

the goal should be at least for the

beginner cervical samadhi which is

accepting the experience as the

experiencer look at it it is just you

it's just you appearing to yourself and

then abide in this situation

so um let us not compare apples and

oranges because samadhi is a state

self-realization is a realization it is

a knowledge it the realization happens

only when and it should happen only once

you see it cannot happen every day

samadhi can you can come in and out of

samadhi like if there is a survival

issue the samadhi is not useful you see

if you're hungry if you lost your job or

you want to marry and reproduce or

somebody's attacking your country and

all samadhi is useless

the body needs to go and you know do the

necessary stuff necessary action and

when the actions are done when there is

nothing to do back into samadhi

that will once you are in samadhi the

karmic impressions will be washed away

because you can see oh it is not me it

was the body and mind acting according

to its impressions according to its

causal um tendencies

and then back in samadhi

so this is the practical advice actually

the ideal would be to stay in the

nirvikalpa

now that is a big subject isn't it

according to me

according to what i have

realized and what i have come to you

know what whatever conclusions that have

come

after going through all these samadhi's

and realizations and all kinds of

knowledge is that we are always in

nirvika samadhi always

we are brahmana and the uh fundamental

quality of the brahman is no quality but

you cannot you cannot use your mind to

know this thing so do not try to use

intellect to know this thing the brahman

is fundamentally nirgun which means

without qualities what does that mean it

is

without any it is a state of nerve

samadhi all the time all the time

the activity appears as an illusion that

means it does not actually take the

brahman away from nirvika samadhi

i am always in the

nirvikalp samadhi

this is my realization now it will be

very difficult to see initially because

you will say no no it's at most i can go

to the cervical and then deep sleep and

death

you see that is

vehicle for me

no the soviet help is happening on the

background of nirvikalp

it's kind of very difficult what to

pronounce

cervical is happening

and the second is happening

on the background of nirgun

think about this thing you see

think about this thing for a week

where else can it happen do not think

that the nirgoon is a separate state

sagun is no no no

there is there is no separation of any

kind you see

if you make a separation between uh

cervical and nervous that is also

ignorance

according to me the cervical is kind of

more illusory compared to nirvikal which

is more pure but then

brahman does not come to know that it is

brahman it is there is no possibility

there

it is

it is a sea of potentiality and when the

potential expresses it becomes cervical

and when the cervical drops into maya

the state drops into maya the mind gets

entangled into its own creations its own

potentials that is the ignorance that is

no samadhi that is also called the aggan

so all you can do is you know the jeev

can all all the jeev can do is discard

the ignorance everything else is already

here all samadhi is already here discard

the ignorance that you are separate that

you are the mind or the body or any

other experience and look at that which

ex which is experiencing

that which is experiencing is empty is

shunya his nirvikalp is nirgun

you won't find anything there

all you will find is appearances which

should not take too seriously that is

not the nature of the brahman the nature

of the brahman is nirgun nirvanta

emptiness

whatever appears is also emptiness

is also near gun the gun appear because

you take it too seriously you think it

is real that's why the qualities they

appear as real

no qualities even if you cannot do that

you know stay in the cervical stay in

the middle of the experience and the

experiencer always 24 by 7 remind

yourself you know to get into the

samadhi and this is not possible if you

do not know what you are if you do not

know what is your essence it is not

possible to go in the samadhi so the

first step is always knowing what you

are knowing your essence which is also

known as the self-realization

so nick i think it should clear it for

you

nick is saying so i am not the shunya i

am the one which witnesses the shunya

you are the shunya you are that which is

witnessing and that which is witnessing

is nothing is

zero what what experience can you have

of the experiencer

no experience it is that place from

where you are experiencing so i am not

separate from the shunya cannot be

experienced because it is the one that

is experiencing the shunya isn't not an

experience it is not an object it is not

any activity of the mind it is not even

illusion

well it is you

i am emptiness

that is why gotham but said you know

there is no atman because no there is

nothing here because some people have

tendency to objectify the atman also oh

i am atman

does that mean that i and athman are

different

i the atman that is the correct word you

say correct phrase ay

means anatman same thing

you see

the atman is not an object that is the

problem with it people think that there

are two things here the atman and

brahman

no there's only one thing and it is not

an object it is not any activity of the

mind

it is the empty room

and the empty room when the wind blows

appears as not empty it was always empty

and it will remain empty

so it was always soon yeah it will

remain should night issue right now also

it won't if you want you can call it i

am soon you can say it but you see once

you advance enough on the

path of knowledge drop the i am

there is no need of i am there is no

need of i

i am nothing why why carry this burden

of i

the shunya is you can say

is-ness

that is the last word you can say

business is brahman nirvin brahman and

that's all you see that's all the

language will stop here this is the end

of language

after that there is only being there is

no knowing also the knowledge also is

kind of useless after this

what is the knowledge the knowledge that

you are getting is just cleaning up of

ignorance

you are not knowing anything new you are

just cleaning up the ignorance

that is what is called knowledge

so it's pretty easy

does mind still exist after death

again the death is for the body the

death is the event in the mind

there is no individual so the individual

never dies

because it was never born it was never

born what was born is this experience a

limited experience and this limited

experience goes away because that is

what is the nature of the experience the

experiences do not stay they keep

changing so death is a change and

another experience that's all there is

no death actually

so mind it is not even now the mind does

not exist remember the mind is

consciousness in motion

so

did it die was it born

can it can it do anything at all

no

you see

the death exist as a idea in the mind

the mind cannot exist after death

because it was not there before death

it was not there before birth also you

see it is illusion

and the idea of death and birth both are

and reincarnation and rebirth they are

all ideas in your mind there is no such

thing there is no birth there is no

death

there is no rebirth there is no re-death

it is a continuous experience

continuous experience the person cannot

die because per person is already

non-entity it is not present

what will die

the body changes into dust because it

came from it is an accumulation of the

test isn't it it is an accumulation of

these five elements

back to five elements

or how however many elements you think

there are 100 elements of thousand

elements

and does not make any difference

so the body was an illusion a limited

experience that came up on the screen of

consciousness and it will go away just

like any other experience if it comes up

it's okay if it does not it's okay if it

takes another form another body fine

it's all illusion it's all illusion both

birth and death are illusions

so

do not equate mind with death there is

no relation between mind and death

because you think that the death is

going to stop the mind no

death is an event in the mind

the mind is primary like mind is more

fundamental than the things that it is

creating

that is why we call it the universal

mind there is no individual mind

you see the root of this

ignorance that there is birth and death

and the mind depends on this body or the

consciousness depends on this body the

root of this ignorance is

a

lack of knowledge of the self you do not

know what you are that is why you are

identifying with these

passing experiences

and that is why you see a few some kind

of relations between these experiences

and you conclude that i am that and when

you see the experiences disappearing you

say that oh i am also disappearing and

that becomes death for you

it simply points to the lack of

knowledge about what you are

self-realization

is the

cure of this ignorance

self-realization will cure death also

the death will disappear when you

realize what you are can the emptiness

die

was it born when was it born really and

who saw it taking birth because if there

was something which saw

the

consciousness appearing

that means that consciousness was

already present

otherwise how can it be seen as

appearing if somebody saw the

consciousness disappearing that means

the consciousness was already present

watching the disappearance of the

consciousness

isn't it so logically impossible to die

however when you are identified with any

experience of these kinds like let's say

you are identified with the physical

body

or the subtle body or the astral body or

the causal body or any kind of body

death is sure

it is hundred percent guaranteed that

the death will happen

because these are experiences you see

they appear and this and disappear

like the whole of your experience is

just a flow of activities just a flow a

changing

you see

like dynamic consciousness

changing consciousness that is your

experience it it is never still and it

will never be still

it was also never born and the

experience will also never stop

there is no

such thing as stopping of experience

so you can use again logic to see that

if the experience stops that means there

is an experience there which is of

starting and stopping of experience

it is self-contradicting because

this whole thing is now an experience

experience appeared an event the

experience stopped another event no

experience another event and this is an

experience isn't it but but we never see

it

it's not possible to do that that means

the experience is already happening

within it the tiny experience of

appearing of experience and disappearing

of experience has happened

so illogically impossible for the

experience also to stop logically

impossible for the experiencer to

disappear

when i say experience or disappeared and

you will find that it is only an idea in

the mind it is like

like castles in the air

it is not your direct experience

this is not the reality it is an idea in

the mind that oh the experience will go

away but nobody has seen the experience

going away because if you have seen it

that means you are experiencing it and

you came back to tell about the

experience going away

isn't it that never happens

everything is in the mind cooked up

stories in the mind the mind is cooking

up sitting here

so what we do we stop this illogical

activity of the mind we see what is

really there

we use logic and rationality to find out

what the mind is saying

and we discard everything the mind is

saying the mind is cooking up

so no no mind before death no mind after

death

it is all illusion

the death happens as an event
