    Beloved guru Ramesh Pranam 🙏🙏🙏
    I don’t think it is possible to find simpler explanation of life, spirituality, seeking, ego, personal doer-ship and understanding in UA-cam as clear and concise than this. I’m so glad I’ve found him on UA-cam and it must be a God’s grace. With him life is very simple. His voice is like God’s voice to me. I grasp everything and I understand everything like crystal clear. Oh dear lord thank you for making this meeting possible. I’ve learned so much and it’s helped me a lot in my spiritual journey. I love him so much ❤️❤️🙏I can’t imagine how it would be to meet him I’m person.

    His clarity causes an instant shift when I get caught up and involved and I remember what I know experientially that the script is already written and everything is a movie just playing out as it "is written".
    Instantly all the heaviness falls away, replaced by wonder and curiosity just witnessing the world and the "me" character just unfolding and happening without judgement, like a child again.🙏🏻

    My notes:
    Summary of Ramesh Balsekar's lecture on self-realisation
    Self-Realisation: The Simplest Thing
    Ramesh Balsekar asserts that self-realisation is essentially about accepting what is, without desiring anything different. "What is" refers to the impersonal awareness of existence, where events happen and deeds are done, but there is no individual doer. We are mere witnesses to the unfolding of life, akin to watching a movie. The primary obstacle to self-realisation is the ego, which craves something different from the present reality.
    Basic Principles of Self-Realisation
    1. The Source and Manifestation:
    - The only truth is "I am"; everything else is a concept.
    - All that exists is the source, also known as consciousness, potential energy, or God.
    - Manifestation, including the world we live in, emerges from this source.
    - Everything is one; potential energy naturally becomes active energy.
    - The created cannot understand the creator.
    2. Human Beings as Mechanisms:
    - Humans are objects among countless others in the manifestation, uniquely programmed by their DNA and environment.
    - Actions are not created by humans but by the source through humans, who have no choice in their programming.
    - The ego, a sense of personal doership, prevents humans from seeing their mechanistic nature.
    - The source functions through humans, bringing about actions according to its own will, not the human's.
    Understanding the Ego and Its Role
    - The ego is a mechanism created by the source, giving rise to the illusion of individual separation and personal doership.
    - Interhuman relationships and the world as we know it are a product of these egos.
    - The source also initiates the destruction of the ego, leading to clear seeing and self-realisation.
    - Only a few individuals attain self-realisation, which is simple and happens naturally if it is the will of the source.
    Functioning of the Source through Humans
    - Actions stem from inputs (thoughts, sounds, sights) which the brain processes based on its programming.
    - The ego erroneously claims these actions as its own and judges them.
    - A sage accepts actions as they are meant to happen, without judgement.
    Self-Inquiry and the End of Seeking
    - Recognizing that there is no sense of personal doership is the essence of self-realisation.
    - The ego is hypnotised by its sense of doership, and only the source can remove this illusion.
    - Spiritual seeking stops when one realises that even the seeking was not initiated by them but by the source.
    - Misery arises from not accepting this fundamental truth.
    Questions of Life and Destiny
    - Any life question can be resolved by realising it is meant to be at that very moment.
    - Nothing happens without the source's will, including intellectual understanding, which reduces the ego's involvement.
    - "I am not the thinker, thinking happens. I am not the doer, doing happens." This is the basic understanding.
    Deepening Understanding through Self-Inquiry
    - Continuous investigation of one's actions reveals that no action is truly one's own, dissolving the ego and deepening understanding.
    - Questioning "Who am I?" and realising there is no individual "me" ultimately ends seeking.
    Balsekar concludes that this realisation, if it happens, is entirely the will of the source, ending the individual’s quest and dissolving the ego in the profound understanding that there never was a separate self.

      Same here. I thought I was being dissolved and that empty self was displacing the personal sense of doership. For years I thought I was progressing. Now it is seen that I am as unenlightened as ever, if not more so. Ego is intact here. I accept that I am not the doer intellectually, but experientially I still feel like ths doer and react as if I have autonomy. I hope I can just give all of this up now and return to the world I've tried so hard to escape. Coming and going will continue.

    It's so simple. Here is the question, "Can One achieve Absolute while still alive in a Human Body?" This question comes from the illusion of Life. Birth/Death exists not. Life goes on eternal until Self-Realization or Absolute IS (I Silenced). "What is life?" Life is simply created by TIME/MIND which is programmed to CREATE. "In the beginning of Time, God/Mind created the heavens and the earth." It is the Mind which is Time created simultaneous that creates the senses and the elements.God took six days to Create and then what? After all Creation was completed, GOD RESTED, slept eternal, no Time, no Mind, no God. "What is the Mind?" "In the beginning of time was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the word was God." God is the Mind/Time creating the illusion of life.
    Absolute IS, all else is illusion of Time/Mind. Absolute can not be described and is unknowable or Unknown simply because Absolute is Empty, TAO, Nameless, Mindless, Timeless, Wordless. NETI NETI Absolute is beyond Life, beyond Time, beyond the UNI-VERSE One thought that creates Life. So what is speaking? God. And who is God? The Human Being that THINKS in Time/Mind. Does Absolute hear God?> NO God and all Names/Forms do not exist.
    Self0Realization is Seeing the illusion of Life. Without Time/Mind there is no Life but Absolute IS eternal. Life is simply being taught by other's thoughts. Time/Mind in parents, teachers, clergy, scientists politics, sports, entertainment, all are thoughts of other Time/Mind computers that think Life is reality. It is the Memory Chip that keeps one living in the PAST using PAST KNOWLEDGE. The more known from other People's thoughts, OPT, the deeper in the Matrix of the Universe of Thought one goes. Life always ends in Death and there is no Duality in Absolute. If there is no Word Life, there can not be Death. If there is no Mind there can not be Life. If there is no birth of Time, there can be no Mind.
    Simply Be nothing, Say nothing, Do Nothing, Do Nothing for it is all BS and Do Do.

      Do you know of UG Krishnamurti? If the "liberation" is truly final, there are physical visible changes in the body. The mental "death of ego" is just the beginning. None of the modern teachers are truly liberated, maybe there are some in India in the Himalayas that no one knows about. Eckhart Tolle is not liberated, Sadhguru is not, Rupert Spira is not. None of the modern teachers are truly liberated.

      You can't do nothing as long as you look at something and you know what that something is. If the word is there, you are not liberated. If you can look at something without knowing what you are looking at, then you are truly liberated and only then you can "do nothing".

    Nothing exists that is Known, all knowledge being God's Original Concept/Creation and each individual Mind/God is created in the likeness/image of God and is simply recreating God's Will or concept of Life/Death and all illusion of Time/Mind which is the Concept that creates God's illusion of Life. God created the Perfect Universe (One Thought) by creating Life for all minerals, plants, animals. The mistake of the Mind/God/Time was creating Mankind in its image (Mind/Time). Each individual God recreates God's Creation and never finishes God's Work. God sees that Time/Mind is a concept, an illusion of Mind and therefore must be destroyed. After six days of Creating all that can be created as a Concept of Mind/Time, GOD RESTS eternal. There is no Mind, no Time, no Life, and all Creation dissolves. Mankind recreates God's Creation and never Rests. Life goes on Eternal for the ignorant.

      @TheWorldTeacher 3 роки тому +2

      🐟 09. REINCARNATION (OR NOT):
      There is NOTHING about the individual person (that is, the “ego”, as defined in the following chapter) which transfers to another body after death, except, perhaps, habitual tendencies in the form of indelible mental impressions (“vāsanā”, in Sanskrit).
      For example, in my present incarnation, I have a strong affinity for the culture of Bhārata (India), a highly-advanced intellectual capacity, a very slim body, and an attraction to a frugivorous diet. That suggests there was an Indian spiritual master in the previous century which had some (or perhaps, even all) of these characteristics, but it was not “ME”, since what I am now is this ever-mutable Australian-born Aryan gentleman.
      These “subtle mind impressions” are known in psychology as the “collective unconscious”, in new-age spirituality as the “akashic records”, and in Islam as the “Preserved Tablet”. There is an abundance of evidence that humans are born with certain psycho-emotive links to previous persons, times and places. It is far beyond the purview of this document to list such evidences. As mentioned, in my case, I have an EXTREMELY strong association with all things Indian, despite not being of Indian origin, and the “collective unconscious” hypothesis seems to be the best explanation for this bond currently available, in my opinion (although the term “collective conscious” would, perhaps, be more accurate).
      For the popular view of reincarnation to be plausible, there would need to be an entity or an OBJECT called a “soul” (“jīva” or “ātman”, in Sanskrit), which somehow finds a copulating couple, then enters the woman’s uterus, to inhabit a zygote.
      Assuming the existence of an individual spiritual soul is profoundly illogical, because spirit is (by most definitions) the antithesis of finite matter. Therefore, how can an immaterial “soul” be confined to a single person’s body?
      It seems rather strange to believe that the universe was organized naturalistically in such a manner as to recycle an object called a “soul”, or even to recycle minds, particularly when one understands that a mind is naught but a series of flickering thoughts, feelings, and memories.
      Some believe that the “thing” which transfers to the next incarnation are the remnants of one's actions (“vāsanā” or “saṃskāra”, in Sanskrit) or at least one's psychological disposition (likes, dislikes, phobias, etcetera). This is far closer to the idea of the collective unconscious, and even if it is a perfectly accurate account of what occurs after death, it still cannot give substance to the notion of a SEPARATE individual which is travelling from one body to another and again to another (“saṃsāra”, in Sanskrit).
      According to the law of conservation of energy, first proposed and tested by Émilie du Châtelet, energy can neither be created nor destroyed; rather, it can only be transformed or transferred from one form to another. Both this law, and Dr. Leonard Susskind's minus-first law of physics, states that energy/information is indestructible.
      The analogy of one candle being lit by another candle is apt. Are the two flames the same flame or completely different flames? According to those laws, PART of the energy is transferred from one wick to the other wick, a portion of the energy is released by the flame, and part of the energy remains with the original candle.
      Regarding reincarnation, a rather appropriate analogy could be that of a whirlpool in a stream of liquid. A whirlpool is a definite form within a river but, just like the human form itself, it is never static. Some water molecules which were once swirling within one whirlpool may move farther downstream, mix with other water particles, and form a new, distinct whirlpool.
      So, in my particular case, it is eminently possible that a vast amount of “Indian energy” was transferred to my psyche from one or more persons from Bhārata (the proper name of the country), plus the addition of genetic matter from my Persian parents and their Aryan heritage. The fact that BOTH Iranians and North Indians are Aryan seems to add further credence to my hypothesis, even if to a small degree.
      Of course, there is no conclusive proof for such types of claims at this stage in human history, but the evidence is certainly extant, and as mentioned, the profusion of evidence available goes far beyond the purview of this document. One ought to do one's own thorough research into the matter, rather than relying on anecdotal testimonies. There are several well-documented books and videos published on the subject.
      There is not the slightest doubt in my mind that my essential nature has NOT transferred from one body to another body, because I have fully understood and realized, by practicing the four systems of yoga/religion described in Chapter 16, that my true nature is Brahman (see Chapters 06 & 10 to learn of the Real Self). There is no such thing as a “soul” or “spirit”, unless, of course, one defines those words to mean the subject (that is, the observer of all temporal phenomena), and logically, the subject cannot be an object, at least in the transactional sphere.
      When I die, my physical body, composed of the five gross material elements (“sthūla-śarīra”, in Sanskrit), will be reabsorbed into the biosphere, whilst the non-tangible aspect of my body, composed of the three subtle material elements (“sūkṣma śarīra”, in Sanskrit), will possibly merge with the collective unconscious, and the story of my life will come to an end FOREVER. See Chapter 05 regarding the eight elemental groups. It seems likely, judging by the evidence, that the “vāsanā” of a deceased person may transfer to more than a single individual. That explains why there are so many persons at once claiming to be the reincarnation of certain famous personalities.
      This fact is difficult for many to accept, since they are thoroughly attached to their pseudo-egos, their intellects, their minds, their bodies, and their possessions. However, when one realizes that one is, fundamentally, not an ever-mutating psycho-physical organism, but, essentially, never-changing, all-pervasive CONSCIOUSNESS, all fears are alleviated.
      The only “thing” remaining of a person at the time of death is the only “thing” which has ever “existed” - Pure Unalloyed Awareness, or Eternal-Conscious-Peace (“sacchidānanda”, in Sanskrit). We do not normally dread the dreamless portions of our nightly sleep cycles, so why would we fear a more permanent period of existence similar to deep-sleep? This existential crises is the basis of most all angst and uneasiness. So, fear not - death is a normal, NATURAL, and even a necessary consequence of conception. That which has a beginning, surely must end.

      Putting aside whether or not reincarnation is an accurate account of what happens in this world, it is ABSOLUTELY certain that we receive a completely new body approximately every seven years (via a gradual process, of course). Our first body was a microscopically-sized zygote and our present body is several kilograms heavier. From where has all that extra weight come? Obviously, it came from all the nutrients that we have absorbed via the umbilical cord in our mother's uterus, or via the food, air and water we have consumed since birth.
      Therefore, one who believes that he is nothing more than the body-mind organism is grossly ignorant of basic biological science. Genetically, approximately half of the cells in the body are not even of human origin, believe it or not! We can all easily understand that our infantile body is completely and utterly different to our present-day form, so logically, our true identity must be something quite APART from it. Nothing, including one’s genetic code, remains constant from conception to death. The sense of self does not even make its appearance in our psyche until two or three years after conception. Therefore, a person is more accurately defined as a process (a verb), rather than an object (a noun).
      For the sake of philosophical IMPARTIALITY, it is germane to acknowledge the perspectives of other eminent pundits. E.g. In “Bhagavad-gītā”, one of the very greatest spiritual authorities the world has ever known, Lord Śri Krishna, uses the analogy of how the individual person (“ego”, in Latin, or “jīvātman”, in Sanskrit) travels through the various stages of life (that is, from childhood, to pubescent adulthood, to geriatric), with His description of the process of reincarnation, as conceived by the ancient seers (“ṛṣi” [rishi], in Sanskrit) of India (“Bhārata”, in Sanskrit).
      “...each person is destined to die once...”
      Anonymous (possibly Paul of Tarsus),
      Letter to the Hebrews, 9:27.
      N.B. Ironically, the author of the above letter was a close disciple (or at least a follower) of Lord Jesus of Nazareth, who, according to the New Testament portion of the Judeo-Christian holy book, raised his acquaintance, Lazarus, from the dead. Logically speaking, Lazarus must surely have died more than one time, as did the many dead persons who were supposedly raised from their graves at the crucifixion of Lord Jesus.
      Assuming that Paul was the author of the Letter to the Hebrews, he himself even raised a young man from the dead (although, in that case, the man, Eutychus, was dead for only a very short period of time, so it was likely that he was merely unconscious, rather than fully deceased).
      OBVIOUSLY, the writer means that, generally speaking, each individual person is destined for one life alone, as opposed to any alternative scenario such as reincarnation. Yet, as we now know, humans beings are not stable objects, but ever-mutating processes of mind and matter.
      “The entity that is supposed to be reincarnated in another body, does not even itself exist, except as a concept!
      How can a mere concept be reborn?”
      *************
      “When you are dead, you will be back in the primordial state of rest, which existed before you were born; that stillness before all experience.
      It is only the false sense of a limited, separate 'me', that deprives life of its meaning and gives death an ominous significance, which it really does not have.”
      *************
      “The fear of death, is actually a product of the desire to perpetuate one's identity.
      Were you not dead before you were born?
      Those who know Reality, know the falsehood of life and death.”
      *************
      “What is born, must in due course, die.
      The objective body, will thereafter be dissolved and irrevocably annihilated.
      What was once a sentient being, will be destroyed, never to be reborn.
      But consciousness is not objective - not a thing at all.
      Therefore, consciousness is neither born nor dies, and certainly cannot be 'reborn'.”
      Ramesh Balsekar,
      Indian Spiritual Teacher.
      “Who are those persons who pass away leaving the ‘I’ intact? What exactly passes away leaving the ‘I’ intact? It is a body and its corollary, the world, that pass away. That is, particular sensations and perceptions disappear. That is all we can be sure of. However, sensations and perceptions are disappearing all the time.
      The ‘I’ is not a body. The ‘I’ is a thought that identifies awareness with a body. The ‘I’ passes away every time that thought ceases.
      All we know of death is that certain sensations and perceptions cease. There is no evidence that thinking and imagining cease at death. In fact, there are numerous reports of the mind surviving the death of the body (to go back to conventional language), but no reports of the mind disappearing along with the body.
      And this is exactly what happens when we fall asleep. The thinking, sensing and perceiving that we call the ‘waking state’ dissolve, but their energies leave a subtle residue which in turn arises as new thoughts, images, sensations and perceptions, which we call the ‘dream state’. In other words, a new body, mind and world appear in awareness in the dream state.
      When we wake in the morning, we don’t think ‘Oh, I reincarnated last night’, but in fact we did! That is, awareness took the shape of thinking, imagining, sensing and perceiving, and one of the forms that thinking took was the form of a particular thought that identifies itself, awareness, with one particular sensation called the body. That is reincarnation, to believe oneself to be a body and to seem, as a result, to live in a body.
      Reincarnation simply means to identify with a body. We do it numerous times every day, not just once a lifetime. And every time we disidentify with a particular body-mind we die as that apparent entity and realise ourself as awareness.
      This process continues in the waking state as well as the dream state, only this time we take it for real rather than as a dream. But during the dream itself, the appearance of a body and a world seemed equally real as the waking-state body and world. We have no way of knowing from within the waking state whether or not it is a dream, just as we have no way of knowing from within the dream itself whether or not the dream is real.
      However, we are not in the waking state any more than we are in a dream. We are awareness, and the waking state appears in us, as does the dream state. There is no difference, from the point of view of reality, if such can be said to have a point of view, between the waking and dream states. They are both appearances in awareness and made only out of awareness.
      In other words, neither incarnation nor reincarnation ever really happens. They just seem to happen. Therefore they never really cease to happen. They just seem to cease. The experience of love, peace or happiness is the experience of the cessation of the dream of incarnation.”
      Rupert Spira,
      English Spiritual Teacher.

    If a person himself is not self realised, that person shouldn't talk about self realisation. Ramesh ji..i respect your teachings 🙏
    But, it has many flaws. It is nothing more than theory. May be because, you are not enlightened person to talk about such sacred subject of "self realisation".
    Self realisation is not for few ego person. It is for everyone. The ego disconnects our connection from "The source". If a person dissolves his ego. He can reconnect his connection from "The source".
    It is wrong to say that god has selected few people for self realisation.
    Every human beings are equal. No one is unique.
    Thought, Attachment, conditioning are the biggest hurdle for self realisation. Anyone can be self realised if that person is ready to dissolve his "Ego".
    Human beings have created division because of national, religions and authority. Is it god will ??
    If rape is happening with a girl...Is it a god will ???
    World war has happened. Many people died and many children's died...Is it god will ??
    Human sufferings, war, killings are not god's will....It is just a Human Egoistic will.
    Putting every wrong doings of human beings to the god is like not taking responsibility of your own wrong actions.
    I would advise everyone to listen Jiddu Krishnamurti and read his books. His non-dual teachings are directly from the "The source". He is "The Source".

      Look up UG Krishnamurti. If you know Jiddu, then you must know UG. That man was a living Buddha. But it is true, without Jiddu, he wouldn't have been a living Buddha. Try not to judge him by your first impression. I'm telling you, he is the real enlightened master. But guess what, he didn't care about giving lectures. Still many were attracted to him, so many people. Read "The mystique of enlightenment, conversations with UG Krishnamurti". You'll understand that enlightenment is not a mental concept. When it is real, the whole body reacts. There are physical visible changes in the body. All sorts of chemical reactions occur. Look up UG Krishnamurti, he's the real deal.

    I hope this teacher realizes that this philosophy would mean that we as a society can't prosecute a murderer or a rapist or a pedophile because if there are no doers there is no responsibility.
    God is the highest position of responsability and by obliterating responsability you're taking us to the opposite of the spectrum from God.

      Anyone who commits a crime should be held responsible and prosecuted according to crime committed its karmic affect it is egotistic mind causing all the problems. Is this will of god hmm I don’t know. But from my understanding about there’s no doer is that all humans are conditioned running on their program its everything accumulated in life so they can only act according to their conditioning which acts automatically. For example, if someone is violent they can only act violently towards others it’s their egotistic conditioned mind running the show they have no understanding so could say they are not doing it.
