we drifted ..... like alot from the actual topic

this is one of the appropriate comment on feelings

@Waken exactly ... suppression of feelings can bring no benefit

@Waken absolutely true ......

@SamueLSD true

@IAmTheHolySpirit ok brother i will try surely....

@IAmTheHolySpirit thanks buddy

@IAmTheHolySpirit i respect your ideologies , but sorry i don't believe you . i believe that you have just heard these concepts and now puking out what you have heard(no offence) .Even born siddhas like krishna and janak took some practice to remove vrittis from the chitta and become pure conciousness (chitta). even for @Leo Gura it took years of practice , and still he keeps coming up with new and more profound experiences and awakenings ..... PS :- no offence so thank you for your response....

@IAmTheHolySpirit First of all , i respect the path that you have chosen ... how do you know that you will transcend the higher truth ? have you experienced it ? The Buddha also gave a extremely simple , straightforward path, but it is a very slow process and for a few people it may take many lifetimes to experience the truth . However , the Buddha himself did not follow that path , he reached the higher truth through yoga which he learnt from sages in India at that point of time . So ..... the same can be said about you . Are you 100% sure that your way or the "pathless path" is the best way possible. Sorry to say , I think you are just being ignorant . No... but this is just like saying "is the way more important than the destination?" it may not be more important , but certainly it is necessary. the truth has been revealed so many times by great sages , rishis ,yogis , and maybe even @Leo Gura , but to experientially know the truth is something else , and i dont see the experience happening just like that .... ramakrishna paramhansa used to say there is no right or wrong path but one should not think that only his religion or path is the right one PS : - I respect your POV ... no offence

@IAmTheHolySpirit you may have discovered the truth , i have not . i need to discover the truth for myself through the path i chose . i respect your path in the pursuit of truth , but the path that i have chosen requires more than just simply being aware of being aware

@BjarkeT thanks for the advice

i just wanted to know how many of you are really conscious of your spine , how much time do you keep your back straight (excluding the time during your practices)?

@Moon thanks for the confidence boost!!!

i am a sikh who has long hair , beard and wears turban , is it possible for me to get a hot girlfriend. is it possible to get a girlfriend without doing anything with my hair

@Hardik yes brother

@Leo Gura Thanks for the advice man !!! hahahaha well I'm certainly not going to the club smelling like curry

@Elton Thanks for the amazing tips brother .... i am definitely planning on reading and researching on this topic from actualized.org and from leo 's videos . i am not interested i marriage and ultimately want to pursue enlightenment . i just want to fulfill this desire by being in a high consciousness relationship and if it works out maybe even marriage . but as leo suggested in his 65 core principles to live a good life , that we should satisfy our base needs so that they don't pull us back during the process of self actualization .

@Elton i know brother , but i live here in the US and here is a very different culture than Punjab ..... and i still think many confuse us (sikhs) with muslims , which automatically makes us a target for islamophobic people

Leo in your new videos , you said that after your recent enlightenment experience you doubt if many spiritual teachers are actually enlightened to the fullest or not ? i want to know what are your thoughts on sadhguru now

@dimitri thanks , i saw this , but honestly i want to see what leo says

First of all if all you want is to lead a so called "good and happy life" you don't need to be awakened ..... because frankly you are not ready for it yet .Even deep meditation and samadhi experiences can put you in a tranquil state and joyful state. However , if someone is in samadhi , he may not be awakened or enlightened . To be awakened or enlightened does not mean that you will always be in peace ... it means to know the full nature of world and reality . it means to realize (experientially) that you are the Brahman yourself .....that you are god yourself (according to vedanta ( non duality)) , and let me tell you that if you are enlightened ... you dont need to be in heaven 24/7 , because for the one who knows the true nature of reality ....joy and bliss are just "emotions". But if you want joy and bliss , you can pursue the path of sehaj samadhi or yoga.. if you achieve sehaj samadhi , you will not need material things to make you happy , you can be happy under a tree but being enlightened is the best thing one can do in this life because he just realized what is reality.
