I've recently started using only ayurvedic recepes everyday. I've changed every meal I had now into a very delicious, healthy and exiting meal It's like eating in a fancy restourant everyday and it cost just as much as ordinary food from market. I remember this feeling when you go to a store and you think "damn there's nothing to buy here, everything is unhealthy or smth" Now when I exhanched my recipies with delicious ayurvedic meals I realized how sad and boring my food used to be Here's an inspiring article and salad recipes you can try with simple easy to find ingrediants https://isha.sadhguru.org/global/en/blog/article/century-of-salads?fbclid=IwAR1j-CXtFhl3h1Fi92ID7g4zsYHeSviL4Bn8_plZjiVRo-awCMSX1Ct9hEU I'm sure if you experience the pleasure of one new recipe you will want to make every meal like that. Btw, i took all my recipes from isha kitchen "taste of well being" so it's also very scientific way of preparing food

Why is it important to have a silent mind to do self-inquiry?

Are you doing kriya?

Yea, that's true. The selection of food is so poor in rich countries. What a paradox Tho I was able to make more then a half of the recipes in the book. I had no idea they were selling things like that in my store till now

Amazing I didn't think anyone would actually try it, thank you

As long as you interpret It's not the Truth All your life is just an interpretstion of what is happening. 1000 people watch the same movie but all of them experience it differerently. As long as your mind is not empty like a plain mirror, it will not show you the truth it will only show you a distortion, an interpretstion of truth doesn't matter if you're on chemicals or sober.

Yes because the source matters. You learn self-inquiry from member on this forum or you learn self-inquiry from an enlightened master face to face makes enormous difference. And the effect it has on you wil be totally differerent.

Because it creates pleasent sensations through the body. I remember you sayed that vippasana meditation used to create a lot of suffering for you. It's because you didn't close it with love meditation. It's important to do it to avoid that. Is this watching the sensations caused by the breath? It's a good practice but if you want to brake the compulsive cycles better shift to body scan. It's made exacly for this purpose.

Vippasana should help you. It removes cyclical compulsions like the one you have now. Just not in one day maybe. 20min is enough. I've tried it, it works. Just be sure to close your sessions with 5min loving meditation, It's important.

When sadhguru says something he doesn't just make radom statements and says believe it. He gives a solid bullet proof explanations why psychedelics won't liberate you. Instead of trying to win a debate, try to look for truth.

Haha nice

Nice yes, i had the same insight before that this is almost like self-inquiry itself

@Chi_ Well maybe you're smarter then me but it took me 2 years to get the point of that story Here's another funny joke that took a long time for me to understand 6.20 @Devansh Saharan

I think the argument that sadhguru never tryed psychedelics is also ridiculous because he can produce his own 5meo from inside. Like he says human body is the most sophisticated chemical factory. It can produce things that no external imput can ever comapare to it.

I feel like he really went deep here but you missed most of it if you want to understand what sadhguru is saying then you need to know what is karma and what is liberation. Only then you'll understand what sadhguru is telling you when he says " if you think you're going to get Liberated by psychedelics, Best of Luck." His answer has nothing to do with the audience in this case. Even if he spoke with monks he would still say the same thing that psychedelics play no role in dissolution. It becomes very logical and clear once you dive deeper into sadhguru's teachings. It's okey... There was one joke sadhguru told about Fish smell and vasanas. First time i read it it was about 2years ago and yesterday I was walking the dog and it suddenly hit me, I saw the point of that joke so clearly. i thought.. Damn sadhguru is genius. That's how he teaches. Once he says something even if you don't understand anything the seed is in you. One day when the time is right it will sprout into huge wisdom. "If you get the joke you laugh, if you don't get the joke, you become a part of the joke" #sadhguru

@Chi_ yes, It's very funny. And deep and smart also, some videos I can't even understand what it wanted to say. Dan Harmon is a brilliant thinker! Too bad he's not into meditation

Maybe if you liked rick and morty then check out "community" . Same creator, same high quality content.

Death is imaginary but the imagination is real.

Volunteering is called karma yoga for a reason. Because it dissolves your karma, meaning it disintengles you from your attachments. You don't need to use your logic here, just try feeding the pigeons, you'll see it will burn you so much!. But it's okey, that's not the only way, There're many other ways to go about it https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=389731201621819&id=20781959145&anchor_composer=false

Vipassana S. N. Goenka, Sadhguru Inner Engineering, selfless activity, volunteering.

It depends on what you do. If you did some practice that is designed to dissolve compulsions, usually it is called "dissolving karma" type of practice like vippasana or samyama or even shambhavi for example. Then you'd come out of it in a very short time. There are many types of meditations with differerent results and goals. You can meditate to raise your awareness or to raise your kundalini or other 100things you can do with meditation. But unless you do the practice which dissolves compulsions you will not get anywhere. You can do a 100years personal development and you'll still have the same compulsions.

@Aldo volunteering maybe clean your living area or smth @Sick Boy nice

Maybe It's not that present moment has no duration but that it is eternal.?
