Anxiety seems to have become an art and a science. Imagine having no resistance to what comes up, and no fear of the future or the past! Moments of living without the drone of anxious energy poisoning the whole system - a worthy imagination! Thank you for this selection - wonderful.💐
actually, it comes from the subconscious and is a permanent part of the Primal brain. the problem is identifying with or as it. the world is invested in feeding the Primal brain, so it is appears to you like others also suffer as you do, which is a perception. 🙏🏼 edit. I did not read the other comments here pertaining to the subconscious and agree.
If you have a dream that you are wrestling with a bear, wether you win or loose, is irrelevant. Because in the morning when you wake up there will be no bear to be found, no victory to be celebrated or no defeat to be sad about, because it was just a dream. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 Maharaj, this man had made me realize the life we are living in now is a very big dream, and wether you recognize it or not, it doesn't change anything at all. Now I'm on my way of waking up from this actual big dream. Just don't know how much time it'll take. Thanks again samaneri for the sharing, All my love to you !
"If it needs time it is false!" ~ Nisargadatta. It will take no time - as time is not real - this is the illusion. The waking up happens only here and now. Reality is timeless and always available to us to recognise and realise. Of course, all the veils and vasanas may take "time" to drop at a relative level, but at an Ultimate level it is only possible to be free from the illusion NOW. 🤗🌺
Him and his disciple Sri Nisargadatta has put forward the most potent pointers to the truth in the simplest form. It must of been a great blessing to see and meet Maharaj in real life.
...wow...this could not come at a better time. I have t listen to this on loop! (anxiety f 50 yrs everyday)...I too listen to ur reading as I sleep...thank u...
3:35 I love all analogies between the waking and the dream state; while in the latter, the moment you realize the nature of the dream, fear subsides, and when you're again caught up in the dream action and you lose consciousness, fear (and all the rest) arises through the attachment with the illusion. I am left to wonder how a similar, profound insight about the nature of the waking state would transform one's life...!
Because they dont want to let go sometimes. All that build up for such a let down. Im lost. I feel the build up to ripping me out of this cage and I've experienced so much more than this. It isn't ever worth saying. I can't even articulate it. But yet I am happy. Forever.
@@sumandas9487 I don't think letting go of everything is suicide. If you let go of the desire for life or longing for death, that would he the real letting go in my opinion. Then you may continue to live another 50 years, or die tonight, it wouldn't bother you. What would the guru tell you? That you are already the unborn, ultimate reality. Since you were never born, you neve die. So who could commit suicide and to what purpose, since you are already it.
My guru, who left his body a decade ago, sometimes visits me with his energy. Ill wake up and at 3 am meditate in witness consciousness. During these times, i see the ego and how its more like an echo the more into witness consciousness you are. There is almost no fear there (almosr because its still a bit of a back and forth struggle) That being said, in those moments i realize how silly anxiety is. But then so easily i then go back to sleep and wake up and go about my day. Even today ive been having crippling anxiety. I know why. I know how foolish it is. But its really, really hard to dis identify from it in the hustle and bustle of life.
The outward breath The final breath The silence that is present after the outward breath That is the eternal peace Everpresent Even available while living Right now Arunachalashivaye
Anxiety arises dependent on illusion, just like the fear of the monster under the bed. Anxiety disappears when we turn the light of true knowledge on and look to see the monster was never there.
Anxiety is also a response to our fight, flight, freeze nervous system so it has its uses. With out any at all we wouldnt have that ability to save our self. But yeah letting it becone an identity is not ok. Equally it is normal so feel anxious if there is a threat
Thanks for all your Videos. I Really lovely to listen to them as I fall asleep 🥰. If may ask a question..not expecting any answer. I've struggled for many years,quitting my career...trying to design a personal project. It's been Beyond Procrastination Hell. 😀 I've also during this time (A few decades) read up, listened to, practiced and enjoyed all the Eastern theories. My stumbling block has always been, in a slightly Nihilism type way...how can I do Anything...if I drop my Ego and Mental chatter? I feel doing anything Mentally based... Is ego / attachment based? If a teacher writes a book, or creates anything...that is surely based on a thinking mind. Emptiness has been great, but I'm starving and need to work / do something. Is it Egotistical to want to be successful in my ambition... But isn't any Action ... craving? A Buddhist Monk writing a book...isn't that Desire / attachment for it to be written correctly for others to benefit from? I can see why many became Ascetic and simply Stare at a wall. I am love the Zazen approach personally. 😀 I guess the answer... I know deeply would be Ethical Work..Simple Life..or to join a Buddhist/Hindu ashram. All I've heard about is dropping the Persona/ No desire etc. I've never heard much about how to integrate that Mental framework into a Pursuit which requires Thinking. I guess Enlightenment / Emptiness can also be seen as Desire. Any Action is in some way Attachment. How to achieve a Purpose, and be Egoless? Anyways... Im blabbering on. Thanks kindly for all that you do. Ps. My project is all about the nature of Reality, created Virtually. Experienced in Video Games Career for 20 years....so I guess I've opened a Pandora's Box all by myself. Gulp. 😀
When you understand that you are not the doer, then you will know that no one is doing the act. The act is happening, a body is working, a mind is working, but none of these are yours. There is no separation between ego and selflessness. These are things that the body and mind just experience. Let the body and mind do that which feels natural. Don't make them who you are. Siddharameshwar's student Nisargadatta (and a guru himself) ran a corner store and made and sold cigarettes for a living. Be that which Nisargadatta is, and not his actions.
Thanks for sharing these questions and dilemmas in regards to this issue as I think it is a common one. When we take up a spiritual practice and start to read books and hear stories about the exemplary practices and life of the Masters, we may then imagine this is the same level of perfection that we have to attain in order to be ‘spiritual’. We struggle painfully to live up to these images and ideals of perfection and some get on a spiritual trip that is full of delusion and denial. But these are simply ideals and ideals are not reality. We have to be willing to be honest and meet ourselves as we are in this moment without all the ideals and concepts of spiritual perfection running around in our heads, as we can never live up to them as you have intimated. When we look deeply within ourselves, we see all the delusions, confusions, and self-deceptions that are present that are the very fabric of our existence in these human forms. But this is where we have to start. We have to be authentic, genuine and real in order to move beyond ignorance and come out of suffering. When the ego constructs are seen through more and more, then we can just live our lives without too much planning, manipulation and pontificating. Things can just flow and unfold - and they will do so differently for each person as we are all unique and have individual karma. No two individuals’ life energy will express itself in the exact same way. Hence, the reason why we should not attempt to parrot and superficially copy somebody else. As spiritual practitioners, to be honest and humble and to live an ordinary life without a load of ambition is fine, is it not? But if life takes you on a wild trajectory of fame, fortune, and success due to one’s desires and karma then that is fine too; but it means one has to face and deal with all that entails. There will be lessons to be learnt whatever way life expresses itself and unfolds, but the outward expression is not really of much importance. What is important is the inner work and wisdom and insight that needs to develop in order to deepen our understanding and release ourselves from this illusion of being separate selves. Hope some of my ramblings also help.
@@dorjevajra Brilliant stuff. Thanks kindly for your Superb reply and wise words. Funnily enough I do remember reading about Nisargadatta a few years ago and he definitely made an impression on me with his trade. A very apt reference that you gave me.(I'm currently chewing Nicotine Gum) 😀 Thanks kindly again for taking the time to reply with your wisdom...and my very Best wishes sent your way.
@@SamaneriJayasara Thank you very much for taking the time to give me your Fantastic reply. It's Hugely appreciated. The Wise words hit home, and have given me much to contemplate. It is true, that To be Honest, Humble and live an Ordinary life sounds blissful to me. My life has given me this project for a reason and i will figure out eventually what to do regarding it...and who to hand it off to, so I may be at peace one day😀. Speaking of peace, I spent today in the park listening to your Natural Wisdom series on my headphones whilst walking in the Sun for hours. I've had a full day of your teachings and it's been brilliant. To have your personal advice on my own predicament tonight was a luxury I wasn't expecting.😀 You have been very generous and kind to me today. Thank you very much.
The mind is like a calculator you must gain control over it not it over you , then you become its lord .That's why Sri ramana maharishi' techniques are useful , of distinguishing who is the thought and the primordial" I".Stop focusing on thinking too much on things but where do your thoughts come from when you "see " your thoughts as separate from you will see they are not you .A stage will come when you can separate thoughts from the voice of intuition, sometimes they mere by intuition or gut feeling is distinct. Read Avatar Meher Babas discourses specifically chapters on the provisional Ego .With regards to what someone else said on nisargdutta maharaj's proffesion ( running a corner store ) , masters such as him are in varying degrees or completely beyond the grip of maya , hence aping the masters is not advisable , meher babas famous dictum was "do as I say , and don't do as I do ." " A Perfect master is beyond the normal bounds of maya and sanskaras , his activities are beyond the scope of one's limited human understanding."
The trap of worry., once you are convinced you need something to help you.. some safe life, some regular food, cloths or even a roof from the cold rain.. then I guess there will be worry. I feel that to have worry you must feed it by having a care about ‘what may happen’.. Is it that important? Will you let it go?
You have to worry about how to live in this world but you do not have to worry that you are born and will die. Realize this and worry you have will disappear.
Sorry but my guru says anxiety is also an illusion neighter good or bad... So it is not a poison and alchemy is when we accept for being anxious and become aware of it and love flows...

Thank you, Peter. What you wrote is so very helpful and clarifying.
actually, it comes from the subconscious and is a permanent part of the Primal brain. the problem is identifying with or as it. the world is invested in feeding the Primal brain, so it is appears to you like others also suffer as you do, which is a perception. 🙏🏼

And what a pupil he produced
Thank you
To give up all attachments, is liberation 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭. This is so true. Why can't everybody comprehend this ?
Because they think attachment is only to things and not life and death, pleasure and seeking itself.
Because they dont want to let go sometimes. All that build up for such a let down. Im lost. I feel the build up to ripping me out of this cage and I've experienced so much more than this. It isn't ever worth saying. I can't even articulate it. But yet I am happy. Forever.

If you are asking yourself why you are here, the answer is in the question. Ask and you will receive.
🖤
Anxiety is a lifeless thing, just like a table or a chair. Only awareness has Life.
Living without attachment leads to misery, poverty and dependency. We cannot avoid attachment if we are to love, and life without love is death.
Attachment is not love. For those who awakened, and told/tell us about it, the experience is one of bliss.
You are deeply confused
@@pandawandas do continue
Anxiety arises dependent on illusion, just like the fear of the monster under the bed. Anxiety disappears when we turn the light of true knowledge on and look to see the monster was never there.
Once you arrive st the golden day , it makes certain things less exciting when interacting with those who cannot yet see
Anxiety is also a response to our fight, flight, freeze nervous system so it has its uses. With out any at all we wouldnt have that ability to save our self. But yeah letting it becone an identity is not ok. Equally it is normal so feel anxious if there is a threat
