"Language is only a medium for communicating one's thoughts to another... Silence is ever-speaking." -Ramana Maharshi
🙌 👏 🙏 🤝 👍 "Peace is all you should aim for !" (Raman)
. . . and yes, peace I S silence, calmness, quietitude . . .
And stillness is ever present, even in movement.
Language can commnicate much more than thoughts. It can communcatie feelings, bieng. Love. Namsta.
Truly spoken. They said Ramana never had to say a word! His presence was so powerful! His eyes and face were the expression of love and joy and oneness 🙏🏻
Thoughts to ponder on.❤
“How am I to treat others”?
“There are no others” - Ramana Maharshi
source?
@@_Hewman_read his book"who am I"
@@_Hewman_🤣
This is true.
There is nobody there
@@actusharRamana has no solution regarding deliverance from karma. Jesus paid the price by His blood on the cross to deliver us from karma.
small babies when they see, it has got the same effect. The mind still not active. It's just watching. It's so beautiful as bhagawan's watching. Empty yet shining.
@@AL_THOMAS_777 no. Baby is somewhat below mind yet. Not yet opened up. Whereas, enlightened beings are beyond mind. There is a huge difference. Even though the effect what we see might be same from our view. Enlightened beings aren't babies. But child like fresh. There is difference in being child like and being childish.
Powerful!
"Who you are speaks so loudly I can't hear what you're saying" -Ralph Waldo Emerson
Hahaha love that!
Dont get it
@@JonKonik11i perceived it as peoples energy speaks louder than their words
@@misssblissxxxThank you, I couldn't quite work that out either.
Wow
Being from South India though, I can see (you as) a Guru here and only the 'essence' of your speech and nothing else! Let there be peacefulness everywhere!
"I DON'T KNOW!"
...often brings me to the "no thouhtness" . ❤
I love listening to you each morning to start my day. Your wisdom fills my heart with joy ❤
❤I do the Same!!
Me too😊
How do you spend your day if something that you feel sad or angry about happens?
This is so relatable and I've experienced soul communication like this by sitting in silence with another who has transcended their human conditioning.
When you can get so present as to lose that programmed self identity and blend with Spirit or Source that's when the real magic begins. I am not a name, a body, a job etc. but rather I am energy or frequency...I am Spirit...then the Spirit in me recognizes the Spirit in you and remembers we are of the same source and what I do to you I do to myself...aloha 💖
How beautiful 😍 🙏
❤
If I live at the stage of recognizing me that i am not an energy, moving among energy but perceives that I am a different one from others due to maaya, stimulated by the jeevatma of Aham.
This is the crux of the vedhantha that you are a part and parcel of this supreme consciousness and go back , once individual consciousness collapses as soon as jeevathma leaves your body( cluster of atoms).
Calming the monkey mind with the constant chatter of judgment seems to be the first thing to be conquered.
Takes lot's of practice and understanding of who we really are 🙏💛
Who is that person sir? With whom you experienced that?
Listening to Eckhart's presence, even through the Internet, calms me down immediately, and I feel more grounded, even sitting here at work
He gives very much calming
I feel the same 😌
“You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.”
-Marcus Aurelius
Love that quote 🔥
🙌 👏 🙏 🤝 👍 Marc Aurel is a MUST read ! All time . . . every year . . .
There was a telugu writer Chalam who was an athiest and wrote multiple books on infidelity, drama, etc. He was similar to present RGV in thoughts.
One day he went to Ramana Maharshi along with his friend.
During his stroll Ramana Maharshi stared towards Mr Chalam. He suddenly fell into the feet of Maharshi.
Chalam became a disciple of Maharshi and stayed with him till his death
Ramanashram still has some deepness. Even outside the gate sipping coffee can be without a thought. Loved it ❤
It's a great place
Silence presence
You are so right. I try to visit as often as I can
Every time I listen to one of Eckhart’s talks I am overwhelmed by his sense of childlike humor. There is a wisdom in his demeanor that cannot be faked.
Every time you are presented with a challenge, think of it as a choice point. These moments are precious opportunities. Life will get more interesting if you evolve along the way. You already know the old tune. Ask yourself if it is time for a new one.
Paulo Coehlo said, “Never allow waiting to become a habit. Live your dreams and take risks. Life is happening now.”
Copying this one...
Thanks for your message! Liked it.
Every time we face a challenge we have struggled with in the past, is an opportunity to handle things differently this time. So rather than think " oh no not again " try thinking " OK, lets try something different" 🙏🙏🙏🙏
If you like Paulo coelho, you might like the song "Gîtâ" that he helped Raul Seixas to write.
I think laughter, especially when you don’t really conceptually understand why you’re even laughing, with another person, is precisely the non conditioned connection, just an example we all know and have felt
"Shri Ramana Maharshi was one of the most significant people of this century. He was not a master; that’s why people don’t know him as they know George Gurdjieff or J. Krishnamurti. They don’t even know him as they know Sri Aurobindo or P. D. Ouspensky who were only teachers - profound teachers, but not mystics.
“Ramana Maharshi was a silent pool of energy. Every morning he used to sit for a silent satsang, communion. He never talked much, unless asked something. Then too his answer was very short - having profundity, but you had to look for it. There was no explanation in it. His literature is confined to two, three small booklets.
“His teaching was mostly to be in silent communion with the disciples. Naturally, very few people were benefited by him. But every morning he was sitting, people were sitting, and a cow would come and stand outside, putting her neck through the window, and she would remain standing there while the satsang lasted. It must have continued for years.
People came and went, new people came, but the cow remained constant, coming at the exact time, never late.
“As the satsang would disperse she would move away.
“One day she did not appear, and Shri Ramana said, “Today satsang cannot be held, because my real audience is absent. I am afraid either the cow is very sick or she has died, and I have to go and look for her.” He lived on a mountain in the south of India, Arunachal. The cow belonged to a poor woodcutter who lived near the ashram. Ramana left the temple where they used to meet, went to the woodcutter and asked, ‘What happened? The cow has not come today for satsang.’
“The woodcutter said, “She is very sick and I am afraid she is dying, but she goes on looking out of the door, as if she is waiting for someone. Perhaps she is waiting for you, to see you for the last time. Perhaps that is why she is hanging around a little longer.”
“Ramana went in and there were tears in the eyes of the cow. And she died happily, putting her head in the lap of Ramana Maharshi. This happened just in this century. Ramana declared her enlightened, and told his people that a beautiful memorial should be made for her.
It is very rare for human beings to be enlightened; it is almost impossibly rare for animals to become enlightened, but the cow attained.
“She will not be born again. From the body of a cow she has bypassed the whole world of humanity, and she has jumped ahead and joined with the buddhas. So once in a while - there are a few instances only - it has happened. But that cannot be called the rule; it is just the exception."
Some say the cow used to be Keeraipaatti(an old women) who fed Ramana when he was an youngster roaming the hills
@@neverdyingtruthiscommonforall Thank you for this but why would an obviously kind woman be reincarnated as a cow?
@@willieluncheonette5843
Its a story,
But Bagawan didnt deny/acknowledge that
My view:
Existence sees everything in its own way, The Jeeva of the old woman would have wanted for liberation at her last breath,
To fullfill that last wish Existence created a life and brought her to Bhagawan
Jeeva last breath wish - Reincarnation- Natural Law
When I attended Buddhist Vipassana, Goenkaji video also told to die with awareness, seems last minute of death has some relation with next birth
There is story, where a devotee who worked as Bagawan's attendant who got reincarnated as white peacock and came back to Ashram,
Everyone said the peacock is the devotee's next Janma
Bhagwan didnt acknowledge/deny this next janma, but called the peacock by Devotee's name, told him why are you not at all listening to me even in this janma
Liberation is to the mind/body/identity mechanism, So that The true state which is always birth/deathless can be realized
@@willieluncheonette5843 This is a story,
But Bhagawan didnt deny/acknowledge this fact, so everyone believe it to be true
Somewhere I read:
When The last breath of jeeva(life ends) leave, it takes the mind(last wish) with itself,
So that the next birth will be created to fullfill this wish, Existence creates that as a natural law
The old woman could have died by wishing for liberation, and existence created her to give such a life
When I attended Buddhist Vipassana, Goenkaji also said when the jeeva leaves the body, be mindfull of it, it will give good birth,
People who dies suicide has a terrible mental breakdown before dying, This makes the next birth also troublesome, and mental problems,
So He said die happy with awareness to get a good birth
There is a Attendant of Bhagwan who got a next janma as white peacock,
Bhagawan even conditioned the peacock by the attendant name, to behave atleast in this janma and listen to him
Birth/Death is for Mind/Body/Individuality complex,
The absolute is birth/deathless
@@willieluncheonette5843 This is a story talked around devotees of that time,
But Bhagawan didnt deny/acknowledge this fact, so everyone believe it to be true
Somewhere I read:
When The last breath of jeeva(life ends) leave, it takes the mind(last wish) with itself,
So that the next birth will be created to fullfill this wish, Existence creates that as a natural law

That’s why I love looking at flowers and trees because there’s no thought amazing
The lyrics from the song Limelight by Rush fits this speech of Eckhart just perfect:
Living in a fisheye lens
Caught in the camera eye
I have no heart to lie
I can’t pretend a stranger
Is a long-awaited friend
All the world’s indeed a stage
And we are merely players
Performers and portrayers
Each another’s audience
Outside the gilded cage
Thank you, Eckhart, as always! ☺️💜
He’s not reading UA-cam comments. And this was decades ago 🤦♂️
Those who have seen this photograph of Sri Ramana Maharishi, recognize this look of pure Presence and the feeling cannot be expressed via words! There is something deeper, the Presence of Presence. Thank you dear Eckart ❤️🙏🏼❤️
Just to clarify... I am complete and transparent light. Quarks all vibrating in a pattern with a name in form on the earth.
Well, how beautiful is that. 🙏
Beautiful message. Also the story of Ramana Maharishi with papaji. He turned and looked and papaji be enlightenment. One look that all it took. Because papa was empty
Presence is fully expressed in silence...
If we all had beginnings with emotionally attuned adults to attend to our needs yes but as most of us haven't we need first to use our words to end the confusion that derives from being denied emotionally.
@@Myheartofthematter I agree. It's a connundrum. In reality, our conscious experience _emerges_ from the subconscious (95% of the brain). The conscious 5% rationalizes, explains, labels. It takes credit for its existence, experience. But, it's all happening in the vast 95% that we don't have much access to. It's even happening 1/2 second _before_ it emerges. I.e., the conscious mind is occuring a little late, out of synch, making sense of everything as if it's real time and it's the conscious mind doing it. (It's funny when you really conceptualize/internalize how this is really happening. It's like the old cartoon gag where a small mouse is walking in a dark room, passes in front of a light source and a huge shadow (it's own shadow) appears on the wall. The mouse believes i's real. It's only real because the mouse gives it that belief. It's only by identifying with what emerges, believing it to be real and a result of this moment that we're influenced similarly by our mind.).
In many ways, that can be a huge relief to realize "it's not real. I'm doing it to myself. I'm telling myself a story because it's better than the raw reality of the moment." _But,_ if that dependence/addiction/habituation to the story-telling mind is more a matter of necessity (running from repressed, dis-integrated trauma, shame, anger), then it's not a huge relief. It can be massively destabilizing. Like you said, there has to be some understanding/acceptance of _why_ it's been practiced more existentially than the average person. (But, then people can invest/identify too much with that, and perpetually live in the past, never let go. Ultimately, the only thing that's real is this present moment. Everything else is a story we tell ourselves. That can be a big relief to realize. But, if the story is necessary, then it's not that simple either.).
Ramana and Eckhart put into words what cannot be spoken about… ❤
...yet, putting it into words somehow spoils it...for me!
.............. REmember .....
Eckhart doesn't teach us, he simply reminds us of what we already know.. To remember, to re enter the membership. To REmember!!!
Thank you dear sweet Eck ❤
My mind was racing... Racing .. I could only hold presents for a moment .. How long can the dark mind stay with the light .. 5 seconds .. Yes ... 10 seconds, it's better, 20 seconds, barely. Just holding presents for 30 seconds was too much light for that dark room of thoughts!
Can I focus to obtain consciousness and hold it for 30 seconds? As much as my mind says NO ..... I can!
Namaste
🙌 👏 🙏 🤝 👍"to know . . . to understand . . . to be!" (Gurdjieff)
U can never hold it....u r it
@@devanshudesperado So instead of trying to hold presents, just focus on one thought (singularity of thought) like many I really like the breath. So relax and just focus on your breathing and in a few seconds your mind will take over, that's ok! Just gently bring it back to your breath, back and forth. Like pumping iron for presents, it's the spiritual work out! (I also like bringing a note pad and "down loading" some thoughts that arise. I'll write down the persistent thoughts; ok I'll do the dishes today and write it down etc.)
@@recordgirly2567 who is the observer of the presence and absence of thoughts?
If i pay attention to the thoughts then i automatically dont pay attention to the observer. That's how i miss the point of it all.
@@devanshudesperado The ultimate goal is no thought, that's where presents is. Where the observer, your soul is. But just jumping to no thought (especially here in America with consent busy thoughts streams) is next to impossible for most. So the "work out" is necessary to train the mind ... that the Observer is in charge. Focus on breath, soon thoughts will come, the moment you become "aware" that you're back to thoughts BLAM that awareness is the Observer!! But the mind is powerful with a lifetime of control, and will quickly take back over. But that's ok ... bring it back away from the thoughts to the breath over and over.
Picture doing curls, when the weight comes up you're in thoughts, consciously lower the weight and bring it back to the breath, over and over AND over ... It's the hardest thing I've ever done in my life and took me weeks of "training" before just alittle "shift" of starting to be in control of the mind with longer and longer periods out of thoughts. I'm not going to kid you, it takes a while and oddly, learning to have relaxed focus is difficult, kind of like a tug of war. In a few weeks I started to see progress and after several months I started to have control over my meditations with longer and longer moments in presents. Hopes this helps!
"When a question dissolves." Ooh I love that. How true this is. That trigger, that hurt or anger loses it's grip and you no longer need to know. It's such a liberating experience. Not easy to get there for most of us but so worth it.
Iam from India I love Ekhart ❤
Thanks Eckhart for your being and reminding us of our being 🙏🏻
... he is not reading through UA-cam comments. You know this, right?
@@drygordspellweaver8761 well of course not I am not trying to communicate to him directly My comment is meant for everyone who listen to the channel. Its about being positive and encouraging people to appreciate Eckart’s work. I hope 🤞 you can try to be positive too……maybe too much caffeine. Try to relax 😅
@@johnwibbels4678 Eckhart's work is diametrically opposed to "being positive". That has nothing to do with presence. It's about seeing that both so called positive and negative are merely projections of the mind, and to simply allow what Is to be as it is without label or judgment.
@@drygordspellweaver8761 and what are you doing?
Is acceptance a positive state
Silence is the presence of presence.
Silence is golden and profuse indeed.
Deep contemplation derives the depths of existence.The core of existence is Silence,so sacred and peaceful.
🙏🙏🙏
The eye with which I see God is the same with which God sees me. My eye and God's eye is one eye, and one sight, and one knowledge, and one love.- Meister Eckhart
All is one and one is all
Enjoy the silence of the truth
So true. 🙏
In silence there is everything if you know how to listen to IT if you know how to open yourself to IT if you let IT in.
There is all the Divine Consciousness there, it's near you that never abandons you.
In reality loneliness does not exist.
We are everything,we have everything and we lack for nothing. Even death vanishes.

"The essence of a being can't be known with physical senses"!
Thanks for gently revealing the truth through the most simple and beautiful words. Love listening to you ❤️
I don't know why I do, but I'm glad I listen to Eckhart
Thank you, Eckhart. Peace and Love. 🙏
Beautiful Eckhart 🙏
Love how you simplify the power of going in..... Sacredness, Amen 💫
I always used to think that only INDIA AND INDIANS have enlightened people, but now I realise that it's just ego and attachment, (ofcourse there were many in numbers here in India because of the cultural upbringing and continuous search people had about the inner self) I couldn't watch this video without pausing now and then, because his words are soo deep that only your intellect could understand (even understand is a very inappropriate word it's just realisation and bliss)and above all what he is expressing is pure bliss in simple words.
Im truly happy to see lots of like-minded souls here. Is there any group where we can have this togetherness and share the teachings of Ekheart and other great Saints
Each comment here is precious gem. Feeling blessed
Even today many people in India go on a mauna vrat for a few days. Just silence. The strength of not reacting. Just being.
Love & Gratitude so beautiful just listening to it....creates a silence space within....Deep love & regards to Eckhart ❤
Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi was a human form of reality which is silent and peaceful. I am very happy that I have been reading his teachings.
에카르트톨레 선생님 감사합니다 덕분입니다 🙏🙏🙏

Thank you very much for remembering us of our being with your lovely and simple words.I love listening to you.❤❤❤❤
Amazing, remarkable clarity from the great master Eckhart. Blessed to hear him
Such profound insights!!! 🙏🤍🙏
2:53
You are not a person. You are presence, light, unconditioned. It's energy transmission.
Silence is the speech.
You are ultimately looking at yourself, sensing something deeper than the surface.
8:57
What is essential is invisible to the eye. That presence recognizes yourself in what you look at.
You have the sense of oneness, no separation, no otherness.
Otherness is absence of love.
You cannot love otherness.
Everything has depth to its surface reality. It's sacredness.
Thanks Eckhart. 1 July 2023.🏊♂️😇🎖🐘🚈🚣♂️🌴🚀🚣♂️🎆
Gratitude ❤
In Pure Presence 🙏
Eckhart this is the best description of enlightenment i have come across! Thank you!
Beautiful!! Thank you. ❤️Eckhart🙏
Thank you!
I often fall asleep to Eckhart's videos due to his gentle, soothing voice and manner of speech (ASMR-inducing), but then the loud white-noise sound of the waterfall at the end invariably jolts me back awake, which is especially disconcerting at night. I don't know if anyone monitors these comments, but could the removal of that waterfall sound at the end perhaps be considered for future videos on this channel?
Ramana is that. 🙏
❤❤ love u eckhart from india
Thank you ,Mr. Elkhart, please help me
I loved The Razors Edge since I was a teenager.

Such a wisdom passed on the listener, Thank you very much
Silence is the best speech...
In the meantime, he continues writing books, giving seminars, and posting videos on UA-cam.
And he wears an illusory watch, to measure nonexistent time.
Interesting...the Power of Paradox.
I so love this one
If there is wrong never be silent but to enjoy PEACE and to increase frequencies and vibration wave and to hear the planet UNIVERSE you are welcome to be silent. God bless you .AMEN

Alot of times lately when I am present I feel all of this Love, wonderment and power, peace coming from my heart and from behind my eyes...as if my heart will explode, compassion, kindness, I feel it when I look at the sky lately and the nature...animals..I am working on the people part but that also seems to strengthen day by day....I felt this as a child and now it's coming back again, I'm so greatful that I ran into you, you've helped me so much, helped to point me home. 🙏🏻✨️🤍✨️

I have heard from wise men saying that if one is silent all day there are only two silences, one during sleep and one during the day, but of one speaks there are more, in between the gaps of the words ... so actually it is better to speak ... or write ...
Great. Thankyou ❤

Silence shared in words.....Osho
The little bell that sounds at the very beginning of this video
is crystal clear and my little chihuahua jumps up and looks around the room - like, wtf was that? 🐾

Your description of the "gaze", does me thinking of the gaze of Alzheimer patients.
Wow. Yes! I was thinking of how my father with Alzheimers gazed at me with pure presence, pure love when I would sing to him.. he had the most sublime smile. It feels like such a great blessing to have received my father's darshan, particularly since I had a very challenging relationship with him earlier in life.
I can reconnect with that smile any time. Such a gift..thanks
If you're wondering which word flashes on screen at 4:10, it's 'Unrendered', which is Tyler Durdens superhero name.
"Unrendered" is also the standard msg Apple Final Cut Pro displays when a sequence isn't created right, or the sequence is changed and not re-rendered. (It seems the editor person didn't do something right.). I wish the youtube admin would be more communicative in the video description. Communicating the date & location of recording would be helpful (lots of people ask "where can I see the full talk?" A date/location could help identify what to look for. Sometimes videos have audio problems. It could help to know it happened 10 years ago, not yesterday.). This glitch would be something to explain in the description. (People are assuming the worst, that it's deliberate subliminal messaging. :) ).
I'm surrounded by people who remain silent about what's going on for them emotionally and I'm left in the dark, confused as to how they are impacted by my words and expressions about how I feel about their denial of their emotions and subsequent behaviour. I can sense their distance, I witness their reactions and it's a lonely experience. Without words, we do not have our stories. Communication is not only made with words but our senses also but we don't reach our senses by denying our words. Language is too important to dismiss or expect understanding without communication to clarify as we all communicate in ways that make sense to us but may not to another. To reach a place of comfortable silence we must first know the person we sit with. Most of us are not connected on such a deep level to know one another without sharing words first. Whilst it would be wonderful to be with someone in silence, I'd remain curious about their story.
"Silence is also conversation" - - Ramana Maharshi
MERCI ET BRAVO POUR L EVEIL QUE VOUS NOUS APPORTEZ 😃🤗😍
si tu connais pas ramana maharshi regarde quelque documentaire sur lui, il a ete un des "guru" les plus puissant.
son "nno bullshit" detecteur est tres coupant. il a aucune pitier meme contre luimeme..
sa maniere de sasoire ecrehancher et sans fierter. mais comfortable et souriant...
tu peu googler quelque image de lui, sa posture et son regard parle .. silencieusement (comme ekckhart comprend partage et honeur ici)
I just watched the razor's edge today for the first time and this video appeared
04:20 says "unrendered"
And at 04:11
Gracias siempre 🙏🏼 💜 🙇🏼♀️ 🌈
The veil of conditioning is called Maya in Indian philosophy
I have a question. When I gaze at flowers and animals and children, especially, I often feel an intense love for them. I get lost in the faces of children. Is this an indication that I am connecting with their presence? What is this? It often feels very sacred even though I don’t know the child. I am an artist and I love to paint flowers and other plants. Is this a spiritual connection?
Here is a video of Eckhart's about children. ua-cam.com/video/t-qHfxiw3cM/v-deo.html
Yes, yes, you recognize your Own innocence or a basic self thereby transcending ego.
I have the same question ... my guess is .. indeed !
Absorb in the Self and that
With the time you will stabilize your awareness
Dear Human Being. Have you ever hear about The "Creative society" a project run by a volunteers of 180 countries in the "AllatRa movement" get in touch and change our destiny as a society from current "Consumer format" to "Creative format"
Peace and Love to All❤❤❤
"Silence is the best speech"......I wonder why Eckhart spent his life "speeching", he travels the world doing so, on TV here using UA-cam, and so on, seemingly endless speeching.
Silence before the speech is what Eckhart is practicing, that makes sense to me.
Without "pointings," people wouldn't know what to look for (what to relate to & trust as the way). The buddha spoke at great length to his followers, giving examples. Those teachings are cannonical today. In some ways that's an impediment because people will learn the teachings like a complicated religion (not the underlying simple principle it points to).
There's a famous photo(?) of a zen teacher, index finger extended upward. The story is that when asked "sir, what is being present in the moment?" he replied "there, that's it. There it is again...." (the pose depicts that existence in a fleeting moment that can't really be described or captured. It's over by the time you say "there it is."). To me, that's the most minimal pointing. It's the most true, but perhaps the least relatable or understandable to the avg person. So, then people give more pointings (as the buddha did) and it's more relatable, but less true (more of a story about what it is, not what it is). That's always the quandry. The more it's talked about, the less that's what it is. It becomes cognitive rather than an experience. (But, without some pointing, people may not recognize what's right in front of them.).
I awakened mostly on my own 10 years ago as a result of nervous breakdown (I guess. I hit a wall that I realized I couldn't make it work. It wasn't working. It was me. "Trying harder next time" never worked. It was getting worse). Over years I realized I was doing it to myself (that my mind drifts into a confabulating relationship with reality). It took 2-3 years before I found a mindfulness exercise that stood out to me as what I'd already been trying to do (in my on crude way). 2-3 years after that, I watched an Eckhart video and "wow! this is the first person I've heard describe what I know." It was weird. I didn't know I'd essentially done buddhism. I just thought i'd become familiar with how my mind works. But, the stranger thing was that I knew that moment that I would have _never_ gotten it if I'd started with Eckhart (or Buddhism, or any teacher). I would have critiqued it, over-analyzed it, become "one of them" (not have my own experience). For me, more pointings would have been a hindrance (I would have been @ChipTowers).
