Ayurvedic Expert Dr Suhas Kshirsagar and Deepak Chopra discuss obstacles and means to Enlightenment from the point of view of Vedanta and Ayurveda.
Dear Dr Deepak Chopra Thankyou for sharing & caring & exposing the opportunity for choice 🙏 what you are doing is so so much Appreciated!!!
The Art of Allowing. A knowing tells me to Absorb this information regardless of intellectual understanding, as a person whom is not knowledgeable of Sanskrit language, it really doesn't matter, but it will come. This conversation shares an abundance of knowledge & grand intention, so all of us who listen can know & grow & contribute to a better humanity. It must be what some refer to as faith?
So much to learn. Infinite. Thank you for posting!
"Every wisp of experience is being metabolized into your biology. Every morning have 4 intentions: joyful and energetic body, loving and compassionate heart, reflective and alert mind, and lightness of being."
This is a brief explanation for "LIFE":
Everything, both visible and invisible, is what most persons call "God".
God is One Reality but just as a knife cannot cut itself, God cannot know itself (or at least EXPERIENCE Himself) and so has manifested this phenomenal universe within Himself. Therefore, this world of duality is really just a play of consciousness within Consciousness.
Apparently, this phenomenal universe was "created" (within Consciousness) with the initial act (the so-called "Big Bang") and from that first deed, every action that has occurred has been a direct or indirect result of it.
Therefore, each of us humans were the result of that initial manifestation. That is the real explanation for "karma" - everything was preordained from the initial spark (or to be more precise, preordained in ETERNITY).
Whatever state in which we currently find ourselves is the result of two factors alone - our genetic make-up at conception and our present-life conditioning.
Because we are temporarily residing within this dualistic universe, we experience both pain and pleasure, BOTH of which can (and usually does) cause us suffering.
Suffering and pain are not the same.
There are five kinds of suffering:
Guilt
Blame
Pride
Worry/Anxiety
Attachment to outcomes/Expectations
These types of suffering are the result of not properly understanding what was explained above, that life is a series of happenings and NOT caused by the individual living beings. No living creature, including us humans, has individual free-will. There is only the Universal, Divine Will at play, acting through every body.
The body/mind is simply a biological machine.
So now that you understand life and why we are suffering here in this (supposedly) material universe, you are now able to be liberated from all forms of suffering, RIGHT?
WRONG! It is imperative to find an authentic spiritual master to assist you to come to the above realization, by slowly undoing your past conditioning.
Even if you follow a competent teacher, you may still not come to a full understanding of life but if you are sincere, humble and dedicated, you will definitely find more peace in your daily life (all of which was DESTINED to occur, of course).
Peace!
🙏
Thank you so much this is amazing and I am so grateful.
By the way, it just so happens I listened to an interview with George Harrison earlier today re this reality ✌(peace sign).
awesome message.........
It is unfortunate that the ads disrupt the flow of the lesson.
All the positivity
is the effect of SATVA GUNA
Why not dicuss this GUNA.
VERY GOOD discussion
Eating up knowledge with no practice takes us away from inner bliss which is our healthy nature. Rather than remembering spiritual knowlege it is about forming a habit through practice and repetition. That action also tests the theory to see if really gives us the results expected.

the observer - the observed - and the process of observing - . might be equal to :" the farther, the son and the holy spirit"? Jet Izabella Thurmann - Denmark
The observer observed and the process of observing, are in our nature is our way of contact with the around, through mental construction. The observer is the cosmic part of your life, the being that has always existed, timeless, not manifest etc. The trinity would be in Rahma's dimension or the ki or the Tao God, that is who he is, Jesus expresses God by seeing himself and the Holy Spirit is the love between the two. The observer has access to God. In our dimension we are a manifestation of infinite creative capacity. I hope it works for you.
The true Path to understanding the mastering the 5 senses is to realize they are manifestations of the 5 Maha Bhutas or Elements: Akasha/Spirit/Ether (Hearing), Air (Touching), Fire (Seeing), Water (Tasting), and Earth (Smelling), and realizing that your Nose and sense of Smell (for example) is directly linked to your Root or Base Chakra (Muladhara) or that your Tongue and sense of Taste is directly linked to your Sexual Sacral Chakra (Svadhisthana). So, mastery of the sense is truly more ELEMENTAL (Jagat) than strictly MENTAL (Atman/Buddhi/Manas). By mastering working with a respective Element, you will master it's corresponding Sense completely from multiple levels. For example, by working with the Fire Element in your Solar Plexus Chakra (Manipura) in various ways, you will first develop subtle plane Clairvoyance, which will give you a very powerful dream life with lucid dreaming ability, remote viewing ability, the ability to see into the 4th dimension of the Astral Plane (or Celestial World or Antarloka in Vedic Terminology), where those that have passed through death reside, where many of the Spirits and Devas reside etc., and the ability to work with Elemental Forces on their natural plane as well. You will gain a deeper gnosis of Primal Nature, the nature of Maya, and the method of how things manifest on Earth from this next ontological level. Later on, that Clairvoyance will become more in-depth and will invade your very Physical Eyesight, and you will be able to see the actual layer of Ectoplasmic Substance (that is filled with Prana) all around you on the Physical Plane, the very matter around you will seem to "light up" from within and seem almost holographic, Human Auras, Animals, etc. will also light up and you will see them clearly, and so on, and son on. On the other side, the Clairvoyance will also move "upwards" towards the Shivaloka or Causal World, and you will have various visions of colors, light, darshana's of Devas, Gods, Goddesses, Angels, Archangels, etc. etc., and THAT is when you know you're REALLY making progress! _"The Astral Plane is a universe of light and color composed of finer-than-atomic forces, i.e., vibrations of life energy or lifetrons. Every being, every object, every vibration on the material plane has an astral counterpart, for in the Astral Universe or World is the blueprint of our material universe. At physical death, Human Souls, clothed in an Astral Body of Light, ascend to one of the higher or lower Astral Planes, according to merit, to continue spiritual evolution in the greater freedom of that subtle realm." - Yogananda_
THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN SPIRITUAL AWAKENING, LIBERATION AND ENLIGHTENMENT:
AWAKENING:
Any person who has experienced a state of cosmic awareness can rightly be called a "Buddha" (awakened being).
This is a relatively common phenomenon. In fact, there are most probably MILLIONS of persons currently on earth who have had some kind of awakening experience, where they directly perceive themselves to be more than a mere body-mind complex.
Unfortunately (for spiritual-seekers) there are a multitude of awakened or partially-awakened persons who mistakenly believe that they are somehow enlightened masters and proceed to embark on a teaching career. The truth is, many (if not most) of these bogus gurus are actually afflicted with a demonic mentality and ought to be exposed for the fraudsters that they are.
LIBERATION:
"Liberation" means "freedom". So a liberated soul is a person who has become free of the five kinds of suffering (pride, blame, guilt, expectations of the future and anxiety).
ALL enlightened beings are either fully liberated from suffering or at least mostly free from suffering. However, not all liberated persons are automatically enlightened (at least not to the degree necessary in order to be labeled as such).
It is unnecessary to have awakening experiences in order to be liberated from suffering.
Obviously, a liberated soul is scarce. There may be a handful of such persons alive at any given time.
Unfortunately, rather than gaining a congregation of disciples, such liberated sages are mostly persecuted by society, just as Lord Jesus Christ was during his short preaching ministry.
ENLIGHTENMENT:
Of those who have experienced a state of "oneness" and are free from mental suffering, there are EXTREMELY rare souls who are spiritually-enlightened.
If I were to approach a rocket scientist, I would expect him to fully understand his field of expertise. He would understand advanced physics, chemistry and know precisely how to design and launch spacecraft into outer-space.
Similarly, an enlightened sage is he who understands life. He knows how this phenomenal word came to be, how the law of action and reaction actually works, how to become liberated from temporal sufferings and should be able to logically answer any question posed to him by a spiritual seeker (what to speak of highly-intelligent members of the scientific and philosophical communities).
An enlightened person is almost invariably a member of the Holy Priesthood (a prophet, to be more precise) and necessarily possesses a genius or near-genius level of intelligence.
It ought to go without saying that an enlightened person adheres to a strict code of morals and ethics such as avoidance of pornography, illicit sexual activity, gambling, intoxicants and animal products.
Out of a billion persons, there may be one or two enlightened masters. These world-teachers are almost totally shunned by society for, as Lord Jesus once proclaimed: "I am the enemy of the world because I am telling the world that it is evil".
Peace✌🏼
