Ananda embodies the essence of liberation, it represents a state of being completely unbound by any conditions. It is the nature of oneself when being fully present, free from all external and internal constraints typically imposed by the mind. It is like a child immersed in make-believe play. Whether displaying anger or sadness as part of their imaginative world, the child inherently understands that these emotions are part of the pretense-they aren’t real. This awareness ensures the child is not genuinely constrained by the play-acted emotions or actions; there's a understanding that such expressions do not truly impact the child's innocence or nature. This unburdened freedom and natural state of expression isn't exactly happiness or joy but rather a natural and deeply felt liberty to embody their child-like nature-unrestrained and authentic, yet not confined by those expressions or play that the child is is expressing. Sat-Chit-Ananda is to describe the ultimate state of reality. It's not to denote three separate things but rather as signifying a singular state of being. The child, it's child like nature, and playful expression are inseparable in essence. The analogy of a child's innate freedom and spontaneity in make-believe play offers a reflection into this state, conveying that just as the child, it's nature and what is expressed are unified, so are existence, consciousness, and bliss in the description of Sat-Chit-Ananda. Sat-Chit-Ananda is what it is present-what exists here and now. It is embracing life in its entirety, without being tethered to any particular experience. This means to welcome love, sadness, and joy, yet also to release each emotion or action as quickly and freely as it arrives. Bliss or happiness lies in this fluidity of experience, it is the natural state of self that simultaneously embrace and lets go, embodying the unbounded freedom, yet open and receptive nature of one's true nature.

My day starts with your video and ends with your video. You are precious gift to this world sent by the almighty to uplift human understanding about what actually DHARMA is! I had started my spiritual journey in the early age when I was 15 years old after listening to OSHO and now I am 45 yrs old. It took 20 years to get rid of blurred vision/ understanding about my SELF. The clear understanding took place only after hearing your words in 2018. And all the time it is getting clear and more clear and feeling like it’s never ending process as long as we want to comprehend it fully in relation to what we have gathered till date through the generation after generations. Thank you Rupert Ji..❤️ lots of love and gratitude from INDIA. I Want to meet you whenever you come to INDIA.
@@alisonsalter8352 Ananda does mean bliss or intense joy. If you're wondering how I know, I speak several Indian languages and was trained in that tradition. Btw, Sat does not mean Being like he said. It means Truth.
Yes, true. In absolute terms happiness or bliss is the nature of our being. In relative terms, our emotions, feelings, and the turmoil of life shake us up and so keep us in balance. Just like gravity is needed for healthy bones and muscles, so can it also be the cause of falling in a ravine. Our being human is both. The essence of what we are, shining through everything and even actually being everything, and our human relative experience. So beautiful! 💚
Everyone and everything is the same being, but Rupert is a little more of that same Being than the rest of is. Only one can be NO. 1, and Rupert is that! 😊
What a simple to the point expalnation. Being Consciousness Peace. Aware of being I am peace. Where have the years gone where I was trying to be someone or something. I was going to say what a waste but I realize that they were necessary to get to this point. Thanks Rupert.
The Taittiriya Upanishad's Ananda Valli delves deeply into the concept of 'ānanda', offering a nuanced exploration of various levels of joy and happiness, ultimately culminating in the notion of "ultimate bliss" or Brahmananda, which signifies the absorption in Self-knowledge and the realization of non-duality between object and subject.
Hello Rupert--great to see you! I believe that I was much slower than you with regard to "your" case. I spent most of my apparent years seeking happiness for the "idea" of myself--the illusory "Art" character, who has no more substance than the character in a night time dream. Blessings to You--the REAL. 🙏🏻
One ocean of consciousness Moving and vibrating Creating ripples within itself The ocean’s ripples complexify and grow heads The ocean views itself through its heads When the ocean views itself through its heads, it sees its ripples and other heads as ‘other’ We’re all one ocean of consciousness looking at ourself from the point of view of different heads
Thanks for this, 🎯♥😶 🙏☮ wishing love, grace, courage and understand🎯🛑ing for all. Please keep reminding because It does help. Thank you,Thanks for sharing truth
Okay, that's interesting. When I reach the "I Am" state in meditation, I'm not sure how to explain it with words, but it's not happiness that I perceive. It's more like a sense of nothingness, the absence of everything yet the awareness of everything. When I contemplate "happiness" during meditation, emotions appear as something the mind and body create. It's more about "peace" than "happiness" or "joy". However, I experience ecstasy when I engage in 'astral travel,' as if there's a sense of relief from being without a body and without identifying with the mind.
@@brianlittrell797 While this channel may not be tailored for beginners, I highly recommend checking out the "Sunny Sharma" channel and his guided meditation videos. However, it's worth noting that achieving the 'I Am' state may be challenging when listening to someone speak during meditation, especially for beginners. For beginners in meditation, I suggest checking out the Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar channel, which offers guided meditation videos (then you move to a total mind/ego-detaching meditation. Some people still mix their own minds with awareness). However, before diving into meditation, it's beneficial to explore various sources such as the Kybalion, Kabbalah principles, Vedas, and initial in-person meditation sessions with breathing techniques in Kriya Yoga. Additionally, consider studying the Bible in Ancient Greek or Latin under the guidance of a specialized human translator. By immersing yourself in these teachings, you can gain a deeper understanding of spiritual practices and find the answers you seek. That's the beauty of spirituality-there's no one-size-fits-all solution. You can reach the 'I Am' state in your very first meditation session, or it may take you 20 years of practice. Each individual's journey is unique.
First time, I have to disagree with Rupert, because there is experience of bliss, and the being here knows it and has experienced it... but it´s not an every-day experience. It seems that the more being seems to be veiled, the less blissful the experience gets. But of course there can be peace and joy and freedom in every-day experience.
This reveals the weakness of Spira's realization: he mistakenly interprets Being and Bliss as just forms of Awareness. He doesn't actually have persistent experience of Being or Bliss . . .
I don’t know. I don’t claim to be an enlightened teacher but I have had deep experiences and bliss to me seems accurate. Yes it starts as simple peace but if I stay with my being, that peace, it eventually opens up into indescribable bliss/love. Maybe Rupert is trying not to discourage people? Would love any comment or thoughts on this
I experienced bliss in several dreams that is how I know it actually exists. I also experienced it in a very mild doses while being awake, but I don’t know if it was the memory of the dreams “overflowing” into my waking state or it was the actual thing similar to what I experienced in the dreams, hard to say. I am however convinced that it is out there and we can attain it if God want it to be. I sure like to envision my future life in heaven like that. I really hope so, I have never experienced anything more beautiful.
I have not even seen the video but read several comments disagreeing. I think, but it's very personal, that in each talk Rupert tries to give specific cues and offers paths of self-inquiry to the person according to their own expressed (yet subtle) needs. Clearly I'm quite sure that if you would talk to him about what you just wrote, you would get an answer that is just perfectly suited to where you are at on your path - that's what a "teacher" is supposed to do, adapt to each "student" while maintaining coherence in the whole understanding. And yet it's also important to recognize that your experiences are completely valid, no need to ask anyone about that (which I feel Rupert never seem to do, otherwise it would create an unbalanced and dominating relation between him and people) . Maybe the only difference is you might see them with a more accurate point of view if you move forward : we all know that when we feel like we have integrated an experience, time offers us more about it as we journey, with a deeper meaning. That being said, you're the best teacher for yourself! :)
This reveals the weakness of Spira's realization: he mistakenly interprets Being and Bliss as just forms of Awareness. He doesn't actually have persistent experience of Being or Bliss . . .
When I'm meditating on the 'I am' feeling, I begin by sensing my aliveness within my body. It's a tangible awareness of being present in the here and now. But as the meditation deepens, something interesting happens. My attention naturally expands, and it's like I'm diving into this vast, open space without any clear limits. This spacious awareness brings a profound sense of peace that goes beyond the physical. I'm curious if fellow meditators notice this shift too. Do you sense a difference between feeling alive in your body and experiencing this expansive awareness? Share your thoughts! 😊
Here too. There is a clear differentiation between being one with experience/life and being one with awareness. Like being the movie and being the screen. While being the movie bliss will happen. While being the screen peace will happen. Maybe that‘s the main confusion point regarding all the different teachings. They talk about different levels of enlightenment. Here there are at least these two. You need to wake up twice. 🍀
First, I pay attention to the body sensation, so that I don't get stuck in thought processes, when the surface thought processes are no longer so compulsive, only distant fragments of thoughts remain, I also ignore the body sensation, then I get into the spacious feeling of peace that you said. But there are times when this wants to develop into something further and some energetic changes begin, but I don't really dare to go into it, when fear appears, the energetic change stops and I return to mental perspectives.
First learn and understand the 5 sheaths after that the three states and then the self inquiry meditation allll makes sense ! Took me only three days because i learned the 5 sheaths and 3 states first . Everyones doing it wrong!
I would appreciate someone's thoughts or clarification on this... My understanding is that pure being/knowing/awareness is neutral, like the screen onto which a movie is being projected, without any qualities whatsoever. When we say that happiness/love/peace are the ultimate nature of being, those are experiential qualities that are in the same camp as the other ones like anger, boredom, sadness, etc., and this confuses me a bit.
Happiness is when being shines through the veil of the mind. In other words; happiness doesn’t originate in the mind, whereas anger has its source in mind.
I'll give my 2 pennies worth - When going inward, you're quitening the mind; meaning; you're being more in your awarenes or I-Am'ness. As you go inward you feel more peacefull as you're also re=programming the mind to ignore those thoughts that the mind sends out and which you ignore. This way the mind is reducing those thoughts that you ignore and starts to quiten even more. The specific body before the soul is the bliss body. 😊
Pure being is beyond conditions, it's neither neutral or confined to dualities. Sat-Chit-Ananda describes attributes of the supreme state in a manner that aids in conceptualizing something inherently beyond conceptualization. Ananda is likened to bliss or happiness, yet it is not the happiness one typically experiences. As being happy is often dependent on not being unhappy, due to the dichotomy of dualities. These notions of happiness can often feel like a emotional experiences, while Ananda itself is beyond those type of emotional qualities. Though it is beyond this, we use the term Ananda or Happiness/Bliss to convey that it is like bliss, peace or happiness but it is also a Bliss, peace or happiness that is beyond our everyday emotional experience of them. Ananda is the essence of liberation. It is being completely unbound by any conditions. It is the state of simply being present, yet free from all external and internal constraints. It's like a child engaged in make-believe play. The child may exhibit anger as part of the play, but beneath the surface of this role-playing, the child understands that it is all just pretend - it's not real. The child is not constrained by the emotions or actions within the play; there's an intrinsic awareness that these expressions cannot truly affect the child's innocents or essence. This freedom in play and unburdened expression, is a natural state for the child. It wouldn't be entirely accurate to describe the child as being or feeling happiness or joy; but rather a profound liberty to be it's natural state of self, untethered and free to express it's nature, but not be bound by that expression.
Neutral is the same as peaceful and peaceful is the same as loving. Peaceful/neutral is not a feeling like our classic feelings, but the absence of our classic feelings, or the basic state of existence behind our classic feelings.
;) Same. But sometimes words help Art too. And some people need words because they're afraid of coming closer to their being by the direct path which to me is Art.
Rupert hasnt experienced that bliss because he was on the path of knowledge...he was not on the path of intense devotion to God...only the true devotees of God experience that Bliss which is beyond words, perception and knowing..which is beyond this domain of mind and logic
🕊️thank you 💖🕊️ Maybe by conscious awareness- authentically living with truly knowing yourself ( Atman) Is happy life possible, happiness is existence in awareness with joy and joy is ananda( ananda mid is produced in brain) for Ananda better wort JOY can next level be bliss ( flow moments, synchronicity ..) Connectivity what all ever Thank you goodness 🕊️ Peace ahimsa conscious State of awareness , that’s not our reality and history but that’s our big home work in privacy and world .
idk man ,i get what you mean by peace ,but when i clone this peace with my character ,when i love the peace with all my mind ,body and soul ,something happens which can be described only as irrational Love for evrything ,or in short... bliss.
*Sat, Chit, and Ananda* can each be experienced either separately or in various combinations. _Spira's teaching only cultivates realization of Chit specifically._ Sat and Anand _can_ arise incidentally with Chit . . . but they rarely do so persistently without specific cultivation of their own. Spira should know this from his Ouspensky background, but he's chosen to ignore it . . .
just one clarification @rupert Spira . awareness of being is happiness - thsts a statement that sounds good, but isnt real the word Ananda doesn't mean happiness. it means the object/location in which you find happiness . real data , awareness (power to descriminate) and preference/reward function / bias is how all neural networks work. basis of understanding itself is being described here. not happiness
Yeah, i don't get it. Isn't that just a mental excitation? I am regardless of how that feels. Try tell the mind that it'll no longer be 😅😅 and that starts all sorts of excitations
🤍Thank Y🪷u for sharing Rupert🌅That lS S a m e Meaning lS As King David has written in Psalms of The Bible :" Thou wilt show me the path of Life: ln Thy Presence is fullness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.🙏

If we separate Experiencing from the object, the object vanishes, however Experiencing remains.
How do you separate the object from Experiencing??
“Nothing at all is justified by being “, Max Stirner: “The Unique and Its Property “, 1844/2017 Landstreicher translation.
just one clarification @rupert Spira .
awareness of being is happiness - thsts a statement that sounds good, but isnt real
the word Ananda doesn't mean happiness. it means the object/location in which you find happiness .
real data , awareness (power to descriminate) and preference/reward function / bias is how all neural networks work. basis of understanding itself is being described here. not happiness

Yeah, i don't get it. Isn't that just a mental excitation? I am regardless of how that feels. Try tell the mind that it'll no longer be 😅😅 and that starts all sorts of excitations

Yeah. Its sooo simple that almost all beginners overlook it, almost all the time.
Nirvana is. Period.
seeing into one's true nature (enlightenment) is not special.
