Brilliant video. Could you please answer my question I left for you in this video? It’s right underneath your comment ua-cam.com/video/HvivvGZydFA/v-deo.html 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
the preceding line is crucial here - "Every sin is an attempt to fly from emptiness." Humbly suggesting one follows the other as written for its full impact. And ties in with the earlier descriptions of 'attention.' A powerful piece SJ has provided for our contemplation here. Bowing deeply.
En when "the wrong direction" is beamed with & soaked in ignorance, the more sinfull the sin manifests. 😔 I 🙏 for humanity, in its entirety, to "feed upon light" Thank you, Jaysara for yet another wise reflection! 🙌 💕
@@maryseokley6061 The word "sin" certainly has become a loaded term - and is commonly misused these days. The original meaning is, "to miss the mark." In this context, with this definition - sin is not an egregious action but simply a mistaken action that can be corrected when one sees the truth. If I believe I am separate from God, I am living in origin -al sin. But perhaps I am not understanding your comment here
This channel is a goldmine. The content, the voice...everything is just so soulful. It heals my heart everytime I listen to this beautiful voice. ...it calms me down instantly. Makes me feel like I am the only one in this Universe and God is talking to me. Thankyou ❤❤❤🙏🏻
Perfect comment, I feel the same, we're so "fortunate children of noble families" (as some Dzogchen teachings would start) to be here, as everyone that finds this channel I am sure is reaping some good karma.
"Human existence is so fragile a thing and exposed to such dangers that I cannot love without trembling." Spoken from her first-hand, immersive experiences. What an extraordinary person.
Le "détachement" reste très difficile à appréhender pour un occidental, il est même anti naturel. Car il se confond avec "l'indifférence" voire "l'égoïsme" ou encore "un non engagement" de par notre conditionnement éducatif. C'est donc considéré comme négatif. C'est une barrière de plus pour parvenir à se libérer de notre pesanteur rajasique et de la souffrance associée considérée comme rédemptrice et donc positive voire souhaitable. Un changement prendra encore beaucoup de temps... si toutefois il est seulement possible. Merci pour cette lecture juste et ce choix judicieux. Merci pour la beauté et la lumière.

Thank you, Samaneri Jayasāra, for your readings. Since sitting with them, I have noticed much more love in my life, and am often in the spirit of giving that love to others. It’s rare I have been affected like this by someone I have never met. Your impact and generosity inspires me.
Compassion, directed towards oneself - is true humility 🙏 Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions. Reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached. Do not allow yourself to be imprisoned by any affection. Keep your solitude.. The day, if it ever comes, when you are given true affection, there will be no opposition between interior solitude and friendship. Quite the reverse - it is even by this infallible sign, that you will recognize it.
A philosopher is a player with words, and she didn't.. Her expressions, word and deed, do not have boundaries, not by countries, not by politics, not by religions or what we call the world. :-)
@@iasnaia-poliana , you are right, thoughts don't accept it, in the whole world they don't. But a Mystic doesn't use thought to 'see', a philosopher does..

Thank you for introducing me to this wonderful woman. As I listened to her I couldn’t help but think how similar her way of expressing truth resembled that of Eastern teachers, especially those of the Buddha. Then I read your summary of her and found that she was well versed with the Eastern mystics and their philosophies. She has transformed and presented their ideas perfectly. 🙏
Yes, she certainly read far and wide but the essence of her wisdom and teachings were rooted in her direct mystical experiences and suffering. This is what made her a genuine mystic - it was far from mere intellectual understanding. Albert Camus called her "the only great spirit of our time."
@@SamaneriJayasara So, I understand. (Not sure how much I would take notice of anything Albert Camus said - but I take the point!). Anyway, I have found her so intriguing that I have ordered an anthology of her writings. Seems to be a very special woman. Thank you again!
Merci beaucoup ..... votre voix est Divine 🌹 chaque votre lecture est une merveilleuse meditation ..... vous une cadeau de l'univers pour nous tous 🙏🙏 Beaucoup Amour ❤️❤️ from Montréal Canada 🇨🇦
I follow you since the beginning and have loved your work, the width of your selection and its quality. Now you have just read one my dearest philosopher and mystic, I have to say thank you, thank you, thank you. Your work is highly profitable to many, be sure of that.
I have listened to this many times and I learn from it each time I listen. The passages you chose and the way you read are perfect, as is the music. I really thank you.

Thank You so much, Jayasara, to bring this words, again into this world. They wake up so many i think, as it helpes me, to wake up more and more. And this thougths go deeply in my cells and make me stronger to live the life, I feel deep inside me , I have to live without fear. You are a blessing ... not only for me ... Its Amazing Grace, that I can listen to it 🙏🙏🙏
A day later... having listened to this brief clip ...over and over... I am driven to TEARS...she had her second great EPIPHANY at ASSISI...and seems ...according to rumor to have fasted herself to death... at the age of 34... ? following the example of ST FRANCIS ?
What a wonderful surprise this was, completely new to me, so much food for (no) thought and inspiration! Many thanks as always, I wonder my dear Samaneri how did you get to know of her, was it a kind suggestion from a precious member of this Sangha or from somewhere else? In any case I'll keep digging and waiting for more treasures, kind regards to all here.
great video! hope you will one day do one with pseudo dionysius, since this person was wery importhant for the evolution of the negative theology in christianity.
This 'Grace' is not made by thought, or memories..which ' being grateful, being elegant and being kind' all is. It is not an urge or whish. It is not a continues sense and cannot stay if you like. I would say; Grace is the fullness of unconditional Love, taking over the 'me' up to it's last particle, including what I see..and feel. But hey, words are just images, who cannot express the Real. Not in your language and not in mine. :-) Enjoy!
@@SamaneriJayasara Samaneri, may I ask what program you use for your readings? And how you go about having the music in the background? I wish to do something similar like you in my native swedish language. But my skills with tech is non existent 😵🙏

Most beautiful meditation I’ve ever heard
“Sin is not a distance it is a turn of our gaze in the wrong direction” woow
This is true for all the good religions

You’re right there my friend, “I Am” is indeed the only One and God IS talking to you most certainly; Within You, Through You and As You! XX
So true, she is a treasure. So grateful to have found her. Peace to you🕊🙏🏼
AGREED!
"Love of God is pure when joy and suffering inspire an equal degree of gratitude."
How aware of her sensitivity she spoke out!
(I wonder what would appear in us, if 'of God' became 'un-directed'..:-)
These are some hard pills to swallow.
