Freedom is the only characteristic in life. Freedom from everything, freedom from your external masters and more important, freedom from your own conditioning.
You live when there is something beyond physicality to live for.
Freedom from associations what makes you come alive❤ And it doesn't mean being a loner, it simply means not being a slave....🙌👏
Congratulations for 1 million subscribers🙏🙏🇮🇳
Namaste Acharya Ji.🔥🔥🙏
*Freedom is not mean a "Loner".*
*Freedom is mean “Not Dependent* *on Others”.* 🔥🔥🙏
One of the best question asked by the girl & answer by Acharya ji.
Really thanks 🙏
Great wisdom of Upanishads shared in a lucid way to befit the common man of this time. That's the greatnesss of Master. This video is nothing but a waking call, Alarm or sprinkling water on the face. fsshhh....fsshhh.....Wake up.
No qualification can give you such wisdom as this girl asking this beautiful question.
Wisdom is seldom in these times most of us are just like sheep caught up in this endless loop to compete and ultimately Die.
Always greatful thankful Acharya sir 🚩🌠❣️
Gratitude Guruji ❤️🙏
This was great - that entire “comprehension “ and “understanding “ bit would have been helpful sixty years or so years ago, when one enjoyed the first without the second. 😢😅
The ego wants disassociation and not association but the more it associates the more it strengths and thus the paradox. The ego wants freedom from itself because of its incompleteness it chases worldly objects and thus starts associating with that object. But the more it associates with it, the more it suffers as it becomes dependent on the object. Now the object becomes the master and thus the dictator of life. All bodily pleasures are mental hunger and mental hunger mostly is nothing but ego so the thing we have to pursue is to start negating the worldly objects (tyag) not in the sense of really throwing them away but actually being peaceful regardless of the object still in our association or not. This is freedom. Absolute freedom may not be possible because nothing absolute have ever been achieved by human atleast even in the physical world. But the thing is, it would be still more beautiful to have as much freedom as possible to live the life that you want without the regrets. Thank you acharya ji, I hope I have atleast comprehended even 1% of what you said correctly. Because even small improvements matter (that is what I believe).
How to live
Not just survive
What is meant to just survive
It means to exist for the sack of body
I just try to put some technique term.
Fir explaination
If most of ur time is spending to sustain ur body,
U have only 10 to 12 hour left in a day u just spending 80-90 percentage in just pursuit of physical sustained and physical survival .
, just taking care of our livelyhood or just taking time for physical plesure.
Livelyhood is the thing so that u can maintain ur physical
. Why u work soo much . Physicality’s is common ,
Why u workings soo much is there joy in ur work is it ur mission ur working for is there any substantial change within u or in the world , or if the answer is no , then say no we work for our desire our family our ambition that we are working for just survival most of my efforts just taking care of my body my clothes
My accommodation and the remaining part the excess amount that I earn I spent that on my desire.
, my plesure.
This is mere survival
A fellow earn lets say 100 rupees a month 60 to 70 rupees is spent in what he called of fixed expenses if the remaining amount the fellow spends 20 in pleasing himself and rupees 10 he keeps in the bank . To please himself .
And this must have begun to sound horrible to u and this is how 99 percent of humanity leave merely for survival just for survival
What is real life than. Real life when the body the physicality is not the end but the mains to leav to feed the body is much the same as but he a car to keep refusing it . What does the car do ab buying a car to keep refueling it . What does the car do it goes from
The home to the fuel station and comes back to the home
The car moves so that car can be fuled, the fellow goes his office so that his stomach can be fueled.
He goes office so that he can have enough for his stomachs both th stomachs the physical and mental.
What’s the point in buying and maintaining such a car it takes u nowhere there is no destinations it
It can bring to you
Similarly what’s the point in having this body if the entire life have to be spent just servicing this body and mind. If the entire life ur working to feed the body and mind .
How does the body demand to be fit
Through food, cloth and shelter
How does the mind demand to be fit infinite apetite unending desire both of this keep demanding,
Old feed us mind say that next thing have to be achieved and life is that we have to servicing body and mind complex
Be #Minimalist, live a life causing least amount of harm. Be #Vegan
World is full of problems , better you know your "Ikigai"..passion with compassion 🙏
Nice to listen this session
Yes we are living for our body and mind, not know about what is higher in our life but now I start learning about these things because of you
Congratulations 👏 on 1M milestone acharya ji.
Freedom is to dissociate yourself from your dependencies whereas the ego is constantly clamoring for more and more dependencies. 🙏
I don't have any word to comment. I am speechless.🙏🙏🙏🙏
Khalsa free from any other world order only he follows is Akal purakh waheguru... concept given by Guru Gobind for which thousands gave life live with freedom
Thank Acharya ji for this speech
Do you understand the difference between comprehension and understanding? To understand is to live it. When you understand freedom, then you drop your bondages and you start living freedom.
Background music is so peaceful 🥰

To live to feed the body is much the same as buying a car to keep refueling it and taking it to garage for servicing.❤️🙏
The body is the car car don't own you you own the car.
What is there in life that qualifies human being to be called alive .
And that something we need to have .

What does it mean to live and not just survive.
It means to exist for the sake of the body.
If most of your time is spent in pursuit of physical sustenance or physical pleasure, then you are just surviving.
The mental stomach is hungrier than the physical stomach.
How does the body demand to be fed? Through food, through clothes and through shelter. These are the three things that the body wants.
How does the mind deserve to be fed? Infinite appetite. Unending desires.
Life is not about eating, breathing, sleeping, walking. You cannot be even called as living if all you do is eat, sleep, breathe walk, take a bath, and gossip.
We have been physically programmed to fall in love. There is no consciousness in our love. It's just material repulsion and attraction like iron pieces to a magnet.
Some blind force has taught us to respect something, to chase something, to value something, to live for something, and we are blindly obeying the commands. Like a clerk receiving dictation.
One mark of ignorance is that it suffers. When you are ignorant within, you suffer. And when you suffer within, you become violent so you can make others suffer.
When the society is ignorant, it suffers. And it makes everyone suffer.
Suffering, bondages should not be labeled as responsibilities, as virtues, as sanctimonious stuff.
You must question all the definitions that have been fed to you. You must figure out what is really sacred in life, what is important and what is not. On your own. And then you are free. Or at least walking towards freedom.
Do you understand the different between understanding and comprehension?
Comprehension means, I know what those words imply.
Understanding means living. Comprehension simply means intellectual translation.
There are so many people who have so much knowledge, but it doesn't change their lives. But to understand is to commit to what you have known to be true. Now that I have understood it, I am living it.
It is possible for you to beyond your programming. Do you choose to understand?
Freedom is a choice. Bondages too are a choice.
Gossip makes the ego feel alive. Oh I exist! Otherwise, there is the danger of inner death. Obviously a false death.
We are born with the sense of "I am." It is this sense of "I am" which works all our lives to gain fulfillment. We choose fulfillment from the kind of fulfillment which will fail to give fulfillment.
We want at all moments to associate ourselves with a certain identity in the hope that that association will bring freedom.
Freedom is to disassociate yourself from your dependencies. Whereas the ego is constantly clamoring for more and more assets.
Freedom comes from disassociation. Freedom simply means that you depend on your car for your identity.
The more you chase, the more you will be disappointed and suffer.
हम असल मायने में जीना ही तब आरम्भ करते है। जब हमें शरीर से परे हो जाते है। हमें अगर शरीर की भौतिक जरूरतों पर ही बहुत ज्यादा ध्यान देते है। तो हम जानवर से अधिक और कुछ भी नहीं जी रहे है जीवन। जब हम शरीर से आसक्ति हटा लेते है तो वो उस क्षण में मुक्ति का अनुभव करते है।
when the society is ignornt it makes everybody suffer young people must be cautious suffering shouldnt be labelled as resposibilities as virtues as sentimonious stuff we must queston all the def that has be fed to u u must figure wht is imp wht is not on ur own then ure free or atleast walking towards freedom whteher in ur lifetime ull come towards absolute freedom irrespective of how lucrative bondages appear reject them it doesnt matter if ure wearing respectable chnages even if ur fitters are made of gold just drop them thats what a robot cannot do robots can comprehend but not understand to understand is to live it when u understand freedom u drop ur bondages but to understand is to commit to wht uve known true it means ure lvining it humans can go beyond programming there must be beauty and then ure inspired and then u move and then u fight fightig requires a lot of spirit
freedom from inner and outer bondages
Of what use of life then if all u ve to look for is physical mental security and fulfillment of blind desires?
U live when there is something beyond physicality to live for.
Do u ve that?
Acharya Prashant
Just what buddha did or Mahavira did and what jain do when they know their aim in life is completed and nothing more to do wither leave the world or keep going on doesn't matter.
nothing to say! On the way to freedom
Just like a robot is programmed in a certain way he can't go beyond what he has been programmed for, we humans are also physically programmed in a certain manner , with our physical tendencies and desires, if we spend our whole life in just satiating this desires we will be a slave of our body, to live is to be free, freedom should be our utmost priority.
People tend to live in bondages because our society (including so called loved ones) threatens them constantly..right from the birth.
Ego of the robo is totally in bondage and therefore choiceless you could either say that robo has no ego and that would be perfectly correct or you could say the robo has an ego a sense of i what is ego a sense of i the robot has an ego that cannot choose . We utter i we utter i exist i am and this imness could either be robotic or real . It is robotic when your imness is dependent on other and if u feel threatened that if the Other disappears or withdraws the imness itself will disappear that's the slave ego for ex i am rich the what is the ego the i am thing is the ego and if the ego says i am rich and if the riches vanish for some reason . A stock market crash let's say the fellow says oh my god i'm gone because who was i the rich one and the riches have gone so i'm dead i am rich now strike out the word rich what remains nothing that's false ego but most of us choose to live in this kind of falls and dependent ego. Real ego is self dependent free it does not find it necessary to identify itself with something It does not experience a kind of vaccum that it must compulsorily fill up with something anything some trash many of us for ex might be finding it difficult to just sit silently and listen because in the moment of silence you have to say i am in fact you don't even say i am there's just silence and that's a threat to the ego Because the ego must say something i am x i am why so they go chooses to say i am gossiping now gossip make the ego alive i exist otherwise there is a danger of inner death obviously a false death no real death actually do u get this the way we are the way we are born we are born with the sense of i am . It is this sense of i am that works all life to gain fulfillment being unfulfilled is our condition right since birth but we choose because of ignorance fulfillment from the wrong kind of not even wrong useless kind of sources we choose to be associated with something that will fail in delivering fulfillment so i am rich or i am traveling I'm a tourist i'm a husband i'm hindu i am male i am female we want at all moments to associate ourselves with a certain identity in the hope that the association will bring fulfillment that Association do es not bring fulfillment becausw it is an exercise in the wrong direction we require not association but actually dissociation that is called freedom . Freedom is to dissociate yourself from all your dependencies would you remember this freedom is to dissociate yourself from your dependencies whereas the ego is constantly clamoring for more and more dependencies even the things that you call as your assets actually become your dependencies for ex i own a rolls royce in language i seem to be implying that i am the master of the car but tell me one day the rolls royce isn't visible something has happened and you need to go from place a to place b and all that is available is a humble hero splendor what will happen to you think of your condition now who's the master and who's the slave who is the master were u the owner of the car no the car became so important to you .
You got dependent and now when the car is not there the car is not sufferings you are suffering so who is the master car
The car is the master.
The ego chooses to associate achieve obtain accomplish thinking that all these associations will give it fulfillment no they don't freedom comes from dissociation and dissociation does not mean that u throw your rolla royce away. Freedom simply means that internally you are not dependent on the car for your identity. The car is there.
If it needs to be i don't think mostly it needs to be there rolls Royce kind of thing but even if it is there it is at your periphery mental periphery it does not become so important to you that you keep it at the center of your life. Similarly with persons idolizing someone you call someone as your role model and that person becomes so important to u or because i'm talking to young people u fall in love and that person becomes your entire universe. If not the entire universe at least the center of your universe that's the way of the ego to depend to constantly experience A hollow and look towards the world to somehow fill up that hollow can this fill up my hollow i want to attain this sk i'll work very hard to earn money to have this hoping that this will reduce my feeling of being unfulfilled Rolls royce a higher degree a better paying job a bigger house a new boyfriend all these are in the same category. The ego is using them to somehow get rid of its state of incompletenessbit these efforts do not succeed what the ego really wants is freedom not association.
More association will not make you feel better freedom from association is what makes you come alive .and freedom from association does not mean being a loner. It simply means not being a slave
To teach this Osho kept rolce royce mocking at the new world American corporate madness.. Not one 99of them just like toy cars for a child
🔅If most of your waking time is spent in pursuit of physical sustenance or physical pleasure then you are just surviving.
🔅Real life is when the body, the physicality is not the end but the means. To live to feed the body is much the same as buying a car to keep refuelling it.
🔅Of what use is life then if all you have to look for is physical, mental security and fulfilment of the blind desires. You live when there is something beyond physicality to live for.
🔅Life is not about eating, breathing, sleeping, walking. You cannot be called even living if you just eat, breathe, sleep, walk, take a bath and gossip.
🔅One mark of ignorance is that it suffers. When you are ignorant within, you suffer. When you suffer within, you become violent so you can make others suffer.
🔅Young people must be cautious. Suffering and bondages should not be lablled as responsibilities, as virtues.
🔅 I do not know whether in your lifetime you will ever be able to come to something called absolute freedom. But life is made worth living by striving for freedom at all costs, at all times.
🔅Irrespective of how lucrative bondages appear. Reject them. It doesn't matter that you are wearing respectable chains. No.
🔅When you understand freedom then you drop your bondages and you start living freedom.
🔅Understanding means living. Comprehension simply means intellectual translation. Intellectual translations never help anybody.
🔅Freedom is a choice. Bondages too are a choice. 99 times out of 100 we make the wrong choice.
🔅There must be beauty in a young person's life. If there is no beauty, then there is no inspiration. Why will you move when there is ugliness all around.
🔅Somewhere you must see greatness, brightness and beauty, and then you are inspired and then move and that's when you can fight your slavery.
