How to be wise

I’ve learnt a lot from deepak chopra. There’s no doubt that he has a lot to offer in health and spirituality. But some of his claims are really hard to believe. For example, when talking about siddhis, he mentioned that he was once in a train station with a yogi, and chopra had to go because his train had just arrived. But the yogi told him to wait, promising him that he won’t miss the train. After chopra and the yogi spoke for about 30 minutes, chopra ran to the train platform, and to his surprise, the train was still there. It was waiting for 30 minutes! The yogi used his powers to keep the train at the station. No matter how trustworthy one can be, it’s really difficult to buy such a story from them. The only question is, why chopra would make this up? And if he lied in this story, how much of what he says is really true?

@Blackhawk I became enlightened after 2 years of self inquiry. So yeah, I’m curious why Leo couldn’t do it in 7 years.

@Leo Gura You’ve been doing spiritual work for 7 years. The real question is, why aren’t you enlightened yet?

@Leo Gura You said previously that ‘understanding’ is a function that goes beyond mind, and that it was a facet of the absolute. Do you still hold that view?

Isn’t ‘finite mind/body’ a product of infinite consciousness?

Meat is one of the healthiest foods you can find. Just accept it.

They are tasty because the manufacturers went to such great lengths, adding in many unhealthy ingredients for the purpose of making them tasty.

I wanted to put up an ad for my freelance business, so I went to yell.com to put it up there. The guy on the phone spoke passionately about the success of my business if I used this website. But to post my ad on the website, I must pay for an entire year, nothing smaller, and there is no cancellation allowed. Of course there was no free trial. After the guy spoke to me for an hour, convincing me that I would succeed, I signed up. It cost $350 per month, for one year. It’s been four months, and I haven’t received a single phone call. Other websites which were free gave me traffic, but this one, nobody called or inquired about my business. And now I have to spend eight months watching them take my money, knowing that I won’t get anything back in return.

@asifarahim It depends on what you mean by ‘emotional mastery’.

Self-inquiry.

This shows the ego’s power of creating reality. You must now uncreate it.

@asifarahim No, I stopped doing Kriya about 4 years ago. I tried it for a few months after Leo’s videos on it.

@Olivia24 I would question whether it’s really true that he killed himself to begin with. The past is an egoic illusion being created NOW. It’s not real. Wake up from the illusion!

@Zen LaCroix There are many. I did The Work of Byron Katie for several years, it worked really well. There is a section on Leo’s booklist for ‘emotional mastery’. The books there will help you.

People kept thinking I was a woman. @BipolarGrowth Beige is a set of values, which is for the body to survive at all costs. The values have nothing to do with nature.

Then so does suffering. The two are tied together.

@BipolarGrowth Beige has nothing to do with nature. Beige is a state of extreme low-consciousness.

@iboughtleosbooklist Sleep is not a break from suffering. With the ego intact, there is no break. The ego must be dealt with. No other way around it.

@sara373 @hyruga Can you love me if I kick you in the back, in front of your friends, and call you a whore? Probably not. Because the ego is blocking that love. Without an ego, your love would be uninterrupted by such events.

‘Crazy’ is a societal label. It’s not real. It’s a label that the ego uses to survive.

@BipolarGrowth Is the church aware of enlightenment/non duality?

@sara373 The ego will not allow love to exist. Therefore, the ego must be destroyed first. When the ego is dealt with, love will come by itself.

@Leo Gura Please update us on your health issues. We are waiting for another blog video on that.

Many people have told me that I need to put a lid on something I’m microwaving, otherwise the radiation will somehow affect your food in a bad way. Is that true?

I don’t agree with many things Ben Shapiro says, but it’s hard to disagree with him about this. He is attacking the barbaric and medieval aspects of Islam, which is definitely quite welcome. Ayaan Hirsi Ali is also doing a good job in attacking and exposing orthodox Islam. For once Ben is up to something useful.
