It seems that this is the story* of "Krishna and a cow" by Adi Shankaracharya that Rupert mentions: "Adi Sankara was walking through the marketplace with his disciples. They saw a man dragging a cow by a rope. Sankara told the man to wait and asked his disciples to surround them. “I am going to teach you something” and continued… “ Tell me who is bound to whom? Is the cow bound to this man or the man is bound to the cow?” The disciples said without hesitation “Of course the cow is bound to the man!. The man is the master. He is holding the rope. The cow has to follow him wherever he goes. The man is the master and the cow is the slave.” “Now watch this”, said Sankara and took a pair of scissors from his bag and cut the rope. The cow ran away from the master and the man ran after his cow. “Look, what is happening”, said Sankara “Do you see who the Master is? The cow is not at all interested in this man. The cow in fact, is trying to escape from this man. This is the case with our MIND. Like the cow, all the non-sense that we carry inside is not interested in us. WE ARE INTERESTED IN IT, we are keeping it together somehow or the other. We are going crazy trying to keep it all together under our control. The moment we lose interest in all the garbage filled in our head, and the moment we understand the futility of it, it will start to disappear. Like the cow, it will escape and disappear.” *from: www.sanskritimagazine.com/what-is-freedom-short-insightful-story-from-adi-shankara/
The plan was to take a peek at this video and then return to it after eating breakfast. The video is over. The food is cold. My heart is so full.❣️☮️🌄❤️🔥 Thank you so much, Alan❣️ you truly know how to compile the best Rupert meals! What a divine chef❣️❣️
Another great video! Especially loved peters, story and Rupert’s response to him. Thank you so much for continuing to post. They are very very helpful.
wow..this spoke directly to my current situation..everything is taken from me! whats next? thankfully I've listened to rupert and other great teachers over the last few years and have built my "house" on Jesus proverbial rock .there is no storm that can move conscientious
Thank you Alan ... a wonderful one ... to realize that all my past has place in one thought ... what a profound understanding.. All the best. I love your work !
I feel so worn down by the expectations of the world, to pay this bill, that bill, struggling on SS I have a hard time just being!!! I love this teaching and have found peace at times. I live alone with very little support from my family. I'm sure because of my behaviors from years past. Behaviors I no longer cling to. I am almost 72 and found myself fearing getting older. Who will be there for me?
Dear Alan, thank you so much for presenting it this way. Listening always raises my frequency and makes me feel light and totally at peace. Love and light. ❤🙏🕉
I came across an article, I think it was National Geographic magazine many years ago. A remote tribe in the amazon had been contacted. I remember the description of how they all squeezed into a hut in the evening and simply sat in silence together for probably an hour....just being.
Yes, being is being. Neither experience nor entitlement affects it. That is truth. Ignorance eclipse it. So understanding or Sadhana is to remove ignorance of mind. So that is the balance.
I am - That I am knows this turmoil, but it never itself is the turmoil. Turmoil is made out of that open and pure being. No experience is ever really affecting it's essence or making it becoming something else than it is. It is still, it is present it just is, and everything that we long for resides in there, or is what we are. Let the changefull continue it's changes, but remain as the changeless knowing.
Very important for me to remind myself this, because I consciousness have developed a lot of habits during my life to think and feel myself as all of that which I am aware of instead of being aware and sometimes I apparently come to you Alan, to watch some Rupert videos and get myself out of that hipnose 😂 of course after all of this I see, that I was and am always that which I am and all of that was just an illusion and not the fact and I am just intact. This is so crazy my brother ❤️😂 but I am also very happy that the truth found it's way to me. Blessings to you. Do you have similar experiences or are you more stabilised in the truth of what you are already?
These recordings are are simply trmendous...🙏 I fall asleep listening...wake-up and listen some more...😊❤
The man asking the question sounds very kind and sincere 🙂

As usual beautiful compilation ❤

Wonderful! Thank you Peter for sharing your question and thank you Alan for compiling this video. It's just what I needed today❤
This is true. There is peace in pure awareness.
Only being is enlightened. Only being is aware. Only being is happy. No person is ever enlightened because they doesn't exist in the ultimate analysis
Rockin it as always Alanji!❤
That was incredible ❤❤❤
Thank you deeply for your love and your great help.
With all my love and appreciation. Rosario.

Thanks as always, Alanji. I so resonate with Rupert's kind, patient and wise way of being, and his insight that "No PERSON becomes enlightened."
I am - That I am knows this turmoil, but it never itself is the turmoil. Turmoil is made out of that open and pure being. No experience is ever really affecting it's essence or making it becoming something else than it is. It is still, it is present it just is, and everything that we long for resides in there, or is what we are. Let the changefull continue it's changes, but remain as the changeless knowing.
