Thanks for the video! The question I've been asking myself throughout the day is "Is there awareness?" Seems to make me aware of awareness and does the trick. 👍
Yea, it's really been hard to find an accessable, practical and meaningful guide to self inquiry...this seems to answer my main obstacles and questions for now. Thank you.
Hi Yash. Thank you brother. I felt like wanting an old buddy around spitting in the wind about real deep stuff. Have been around a lot of drama friends and that’s ok. Not like I’m not use to it … Just it’s nice to sit down with a heart centered easy friend like I use to with my old yogi mentor that I cherish, though left this earth. Self inquiry is great. And it’s nice once in awhile to sit in the silence with someone who just gets it. A nod. A smile. A warm centered heart glow. Who’s loving this? :)) Who’s missing their old friend? Yeah those golden moments. Thank you good man. Subscribed.
For me a great start was trying to notice as soon as possible when you (for example) judge or criticize someone be it aloud or inside your head. Many of us do it, and we do it often on a daily basis, hourly even. Start noticing this and saying to yourself "I'm doing it again, and i have no right to do this, i don't know how it is to be this person, I'm not perfect, no one is, can I put myself in this person's shoes?". There are many things you can think of to say in that moment but the point is to let go of hatred not only for others but for yourself. The way you snapped your fingers when explaining the momentum of the awareness arising is what i use when trying to explain people how you "catch" yourself doing the "bad" thing when you get more experienced with self inquiry.
Huge huge respect for the story in the end of the video 🫡 Definitely “my” reality is too far away than what you described and I start to feel alienated more and more, from what’s happening around me. I mean the behaviours of most people and all drama and unnecessary suffering that’s been created, by such behaviour. This kind of understanding and honesty and integrity, like in the story you shared, is what I live for 💚🙏
Wow dude..where the hell are u??thanks for speaking out..trapped in this western society with a family..your words are helping me free myself from conditioned expectations of duty..
appreciate the flow & the authenticity of the message.. like a pointing self inquiry is very artistic at times allows very natural flow of curiosity i find the mind is perpetually stuck in this constant rooted sense of understanding & boxing & organising concept & experience & blah blah the space is beautiful.. its like a deap breathe of fresh air as u watch the stars or the sunset
I've been doing self-inquiry in the past few days. I remember I felt really bad after masturbation like I can't break free from it. In the self-inquiry session, I was asking "Who am I without these sexual fantasies?". "Who am I", "If these sexual thoughts were gone, would I still exist?" as I asked these questions, I tried to simply be present by focusing on my breath, heart beat, and the weird signals that I hear the more I am focused in the present moment. Eventually, I fell asleep due to too much anxiety and grief from masturbation and after an hour, during my sleep, something wrapped me and made that anxiety disappear and this inner stillness and peace shrouded me like something I have never felt before. I immediately woke up and felt so energetic and peaceful. The next day I fell again into these sexual thoughts which eventually led me to PMO. The peaceful sensation is still here but it is much weaker. I do not know if in time it becomes stronger and more permanent with practice of self-inquiry and I also do not know how to use self-inquiry to get rid of these bad sexual habits.
you’re doing it right. u just start and then this inner power will guide you how to use it. Its a process. u already saw via experience that it has power. just continue as best as u can, but without stress about it or strong expectation for results. Just you do the best u can. We cant do anything more than that. we cant force this thing to happen. it doesnt work.
Sometimes I feel like we enjoy talking about self inquiry so we don’t crazy and our mind takes over. Cause when we lose our mind or say we do it’s not that we lose it’s that it takes over… so we have to talk about this.
Just love your videos man, just love them. This really resonated with me. Self inquiry fascinates me but also eluded me. The way you break it down, I understand. Love the videos keep them coming. Speaking of 'cumming' love your other videos as well. I have an addiction to to that, I feel is a barrier for me to the next level. Can't stop! Sláinte dude 😉
Thanks Yash...very relatable & no nonsense pointing. The elaborate and ethereal explanations on self inquiry mostly confuse me. In my case the purging process started five uncomfortable and all consuming years ago.. Many days I only have bathrobe energy and cant get much done. I want to lighten up around this whole process but can't seem to put it down.
Trust that Grace is using this human life for the highest purpose. The symptoms can be daunting, I know. But trust its all being worked out (ego purification) and is for the best in the vaster scheme of things.
I love your videos! I’ve been at Brockwood in the 70’s, attended many, many Krishnamurti’s talks. He was in a way frustrated in the end of his life thinking nobody ever understood him. But the seeds were spread and I see some people in this awakening process. Unfortunately not my self lol But I just love to hear all these audios, of Krishnamurti, Mooji, Ekhart, Alan watts, yours … I don’t kown your name 😊I’m Denise, from Brazil…
You have a depth that says ‘the Real Deal” to my heart . Have you read the only book Begawan Ramana Maharishi approved & even edited himself ~ ’Guru Vachaka Kovai’ (The Garland of the Guru’s Teachings’) by his enlightened disciple Maruganar, of Shi Ramana’s direct words? , I know, it’s “ just a book”.. yet I Am~ blown away and don’t want it to ‘end’🕉 Subscribed, Thank you 🙏🏼
The more I do formal practice the more spontaneous and authentic I am in the rest of my life. Before I was doing a lot of blaming and criticizing in an attempt to be “right”, now I see how that just makes everything worse. People see the difference but now there’s no need to explain. There seems to be no limit to this stuff. Keep ‘‘em coming 🎉
My recent realisation is that many of these insights or important paths through self-inquiry have to occur on a deeper level, on an intuitive or unconscious level. For example: I can say that "the sky is green" or "water is a myth, we don't need to drink water" or something like that. Your mind can hear these statements, understand them and even believe them on a surface level. But still, you aren't going to witness the green sky or stop feeling thirst because: the mind hasn't actually accepted these things on that deeper reptilian brain level. This kind of deep unconscious understanding cannot be reasoned with, you can't force it or talk yourself into it, that's why it's often difficult. Instead: various practices of self inquiry/meditation/etc through repeated action can help to soften the glue that holds old habits and old beliefs in the unconscious. Once these boundaries are softened it will provide fertile soil for insights to grow, it happens naturally and indirectly.
So the point isn't to actually get an answer? The answer is actually the observation that takes place after the question? I always thought I was going to "figure it out" by staying with "the self" and eventually have an A-ha moment. That seems like a misunderstanding now.
There is no 'answer' - that implies information being received. Simply being aware of yourself rather than projecting outwards constantly into the appearing reality, is 'self inquiry'. It means if something triggers us, being aware of oneself first and not feeding into the default response or reaction of feeling like a victim or 'passing the buck', so to speak. Self inquiry is being with oneself in a natural and relaxed way, observing whatever waves or stillness arises. Over time we learn/see that these things that arise are constantly changing and therefore can't be real. The only constant is that stainless awareness, which has been and always will be as it is - unchanging and without a definitive quality. True self inquiry happens when we are truly devoted to ourselves, when this path becomes the number 1 priority - then it's automatic and unceasing. You won't even have the thought 'who am I' or need to prompt yourself into practising it. It comes as a constant stream of attention into oneself. Even if you get side tracked at this point for whatever reason if something gets your attention outwardly, you'll always come back within without any effort.
@ silverlake : Yes, its true and good what you shared. Most People are so unconsciously identified with the mind that they cant grasp-- what I feel is one of the highest realizations, is that you just let the human evolution run itself, while at the same still trying, but at the same time not stressing about it, and also realizing that your real self doesnt have anything to evolve. Theres so many paradoxes there that the mind cant comprehend it.
Perhaps exploring whether the present is arising spontaneously could allow clarity of what is searching and expecting and who is aware of that, functionally, practically. There is a system navigating itself on this personal movie channel; whether it is quiet or noisy, peaceful or turbulent, whether it accepts itself or is gone berserk seeking change, is it happening spontaneously, in this present?
Jesus said I'm sure that the kingdom of heaven is within you, so yeah we can travel the world seeking what was always right there all along but I guess we feel we have to 'do something ' and go find it.
Yash what are the crystals that the little ones are making for. I am really lost about this. There are shady characters that are stealing from me and I don't know what to do about it.
That’s interesting… If you always watch your thoughts and emotions, how can you be involved? You are always watching from the side. I’ve tried it few times, and I felt very uncomfortable. It feels like you are dividing yourself into two entities. But who is this watcher? Does he have a character?
Yes, the mind will make it feel uncomfortable. (like ur losing yourself) Thats the minds job (its the antagonist). But it becomes less shocking and more natural as time goes on. “But who is this watcher? Does he have a character?” You can investigate that question yourself.
Thanx brother, yes we know it’s the monkey brain that needs reassurance, Your the only person that has simply said what I’m going through is good, it may be as simple as flicking a switch but this memory bank is over loaded with books seminars and them damb gurus 🙏🙏🙏 wait I take those Shanti’s back🤣🤣
Imagine nondual person play rpg game but never get up from chair never touch keyboard or mouse and only talking: This computer and game doesn't exist. How he can be good in this game or in real life?
Yes too much. I did it excessively when living in Thailand because I thought I would get enlightened by doing it. . I dry fasted for more days in 1 year than not. It just ended up disturbing my neurological system. It was too much strain on my nerves. Its ok to do it if one wants to experience it. But I like water fasting better. But the best for me, is living a lifestyle and daily detoxifying diet (but also nourishing at the same time). Ive found this has the best longterm results and has the most balance.
@@spiritualrenaissance did you break the fasting after certain hours or you continued for days? I do both, intermittent fasting has been as healing for me

Yes the practice becomes a natural function because what else better to do 🙂
Nice one, Yash. I've always understood 'self inquiry' as 'self remembrance' - coming back to self always or as much as possible.
Yes same thing
Bro I think the same way you do

i do nothing but cj in❤😊
See I always assumed people knew this stuff. I guess that’s why I’m usually doing things alone.
