Only God knows which action to point out as a completely moral or immoral action. Let's imagine I am doing what everybody would consider as an extremely moral thing even advised by spiritual gurus : Planting a tree. Yes, it's no doubt a very good things to do, but imagine a coconut falls from a tree you had planted after a few years, falls on a weak man and kills him. Now, is your action right or wrong? The answer is, it doesn't matter. What matters is your intention and your level of consciousness while intending it. A highly conscious person will be able to see through the results of the consequences and can make the better choices. He will be the least biased and makes a rational decision for the overall welfare of the world. He makes sure his actions cause the least suffering overall for the world. He won't expect anything in return or take pleasure for his actions, and hence remains unaffected even if the action results in unintended consequences. A low conscious person will be ignorant and hence his action also remains selfish and immoral. He will be suffering the consequences for his actions as well in the name of karma.

Easy when you are enlightened!

Great video! Now I know why you call yourself a lion, both of you look eerily similar, lol. Coming to the video, I liked all your points, but the one point you mentioned, which is yoga, should be the number one point in my opinion. You have mentioned just the surface with regard to this point, I would suggest you to dig deeper and you will find numerous ways to increase the consciousness levels.

Look at their eyes and you will connect with their soul.

Don't know about other benefits of a guru, but a guru helps us to remain humble by being devoted to him. If somebody misuses that devotion, then hr cannot be a proper guru

I agree with this and the other statements, but here's what I believe a better way of making the scale and means to achieve it: Level 1 - Chasing short term pleasures - Being lazy and ignorant ( Scale 0 - Misery, depression,etc. leading to extreme suffering) Level 2 - Chasing pleasures - Working hard for our desires but being selfish ( Scale 1 - High suffering ) Level 3 - Chasing pleasures - Working hard for our desires and passion but making sure those desires don't affect others ( Scale 2 - Low suffering, low happiness) Level 4 - Chasing peace - Reducing our desires but being inactive ( Scale 3 - No suffering, no happiness, but leads to boredom) Level 5 - Becoming selfless - Working hard for a selfless goal, with expectations( Scale 4 - Happiness and bliss) Level 6 - Becoming truly selfless- Working hard for a selfless cause, breaking all attachments and expectations ( Scale 5 - Bliss) Level 7 - Becoming egoless - ( Scale 6 - Ecstasy) Just a fun exercise in classifying the levels of consciousness!

Going by strict definitions, language means human communication like speaking, sign language etc. It will be a better comparison if language is replaced with the word communication.

I too love to use the word bliss, but I know strong in my heart that unconditional love definitely leads to that blissfulness.

Unless you immerse yourself completely in a video game just like you are doing in life!

I would describe what many here call as Love as the positive feeling you get when you are at your highest conscious state. Conditional love, compassion, kindness are veiled expressions of the so called Love.

Then get ready before going deeper.

Don't think it's not effective to pray before sleep as well.

True words, but what is higher consciousness and what is lower should be learnt or known

Don't get angry or your curse might manifest and you might regret it later. Don't worry though, the universe takes care of the balance, you're just a tool. Save your karma for something that you love.

True, prayer is something everyone must do, to their favourite god. Devotion helps I become smaller and hence become larger.

Doesn't every animal possess instincts from the time they were born? For example, the cry of the baby when seeing the light. But what if the baby was trying to communicate through her cry? Instincts are more fundamental I believe, hence they should have come first

Here are some from my mind: Good: 1. Praying 2. Having hope during difficult times 3. Compassion and kindness Bad: 1. Superstitions 2. Egoistic pride 3. Following set and unchangeable rules

Wonderful discussion

Great! But what do you do to fill the void with love? Or do you feel it instantly?

Everything converges towards the truth, no matter if it is devotional, moral, spiritual or rational.

The rules are the ones which enhance the experience of life, and creates the possibility for a beautiful journey, from one that of lust and pleasure, to that of bliss, from that of fear to fearlessness, from that of an animal to that of a god, from that of ego to that of unity, from that of a slave to that of a master, From that of brahma to that of Brahman.

You can do it with hardcore meditation, mindfulness and using dispassion techniques. What makes the difference is the amount of effort you put in achieving the same. You have to dedicate atleast an hour everyday for meditation, and try to be mindful throughout the day, no matter what you are doing. ( Includes pooping too). But an excited and imaginative mind compared to a peaceful one has perks of its own, giving you the adrenaline now and then. Try to find the balance and your life will be fine.

What do you mean by light and love? How does it feel? Does it feel pleasurable? Does it feel like you loving a person? I know you have spent a lot of time out there, so try for the sake of me to describe the feeling of that as best as possible with words. Also, how do you differentiate the feeling of emptiness without heart and it filled with your heart?

You may be right, looks like the world can't get free of yin and yang. Personally, I believe what you mention as a non dual experience is simply the extreme polarity of yang or the light or the bliss.

@Breakingthewall How would you differentiate such a blissful feeling from other emotions, including love?
