How to be wise

@Sahil Pandit Leo in the video said that you have to work for 10-20 years to achieve emotional mastery. Bullshit. With The Work, you can do it in just 1-2 years. Try it out and you’ll see!

@searchingserenity the book ‘Loving what is’. Also if you can listen to this podcast it would be very helpful:

I know that mooji is an enlightened master, but this much devotion from this many people is unseen since osho. How did he make those people so devoted to him? Watch from 1:53:28

@Bobby of course I’m talking about the author.

@tsuki let’s look at this another way. Say you were feeling pain in your hand, and just for a moment you were distracted by something very flashy, that you forgot about the pain in your hand? Where did the pain go in that moment? The fact is that pain is created by mind. Everything is mind. The whole world, your body, everything is mind. This is something you will be directly conscious of in an enlightenment experience. You don’t have to take it up as a belief.

@tsuki Wrong. The body doesn’t have any problems. It doesn’t care whatever happens to it. The mind is the one with the problems. The mind is the one which projects all pain to the body. For example, once a man had felt pain in his chest. He was feeling that pain for a few weeks, but he didn’t really mind it that much. The pain wasn’t that intense. He went to the doctor to find out how to cure the pain. At that point he was calm and easy-going, because the pain didn’t bother him that much. The doctor looked at a sample of his blood and came back to the room with a grim face. He told the man that he had cancer, and was a very serious condition. All of a sudden, this calm man became everything from frantic to pain-striken. He suffered from intense pain, intense fear and intense hurt. All because his mind became frantic over the fact that he would die. The mind is the one that feels pain, never the body, though it may seem that way to you.

They’ve been rather successful so far. If you can convince a person to engage in a spiritual practice then your chances of success will be even higher. How did you get to enlightenment? Wasn’t there a spiritual teacher who had to speak your egoic language to get you motivated to become enlightened? An enlightened person has experienced the truth. Ofcourse you can’t make him believe in the egoic stuff again.

@Faceless we meet people where they are. Not because it’s not an illusion, but because of love. You love the people, so you speak to them in their terms. But inside, there’s nothing that anyone can do to make you believe in it.

@Joseph Maynor unfortunately there are too many un enlightened people around. We need to speak their language. But the point is, most enlightened people who speak in ‘egoic language’ will not believe in the words they’re speaking, so they will be detached from it on the inside, but will still speak it so as to communicate with other people.

@Nahm In the world we live in, you will face plenty of situations where people will be angry with you. So you better not worry about it, or you’re looking at a whole world of suffering.

@Nahm you better not. That’s the world we live in.

@Nahm it’s a joke dude. Don’t worry. I’m not angry with you.

Namaste ? ????????????????

@Nahm your posts are too long. Who do you think will read all of that. ?

@xbcc when sadhguru says you have free will, he is meeting the audience that he’s speaking to from where they are. The audience, who are probably not enlightened, clearly believe that they have free will. So sadhguru is talking to them in their terms, and not in his own experience. It’s called ‘relative truth’. It’s the truth of the un enlightened person.

@Nahm lol, do you think anybody will take some time off to contemplate just because you tell them to. You know better than that.

@NoSelfSelf Lol buy Leo’s booklist. You need more research before you start practicing.

When I first listened to this audio a year ago, it changed my life. Enlightenment isn’t just about realising absolute truth. It’s also about realising experiantially that this reality is perfect as it is, and living it so that you are joyful every moment. It’s a long audio. But very very worthwhile. Can you stick through this to the end?

@Martin123 you misunderstood me. I am surrendering my mind more and more in my inquiry practice. I’m surrendering it permanently, so I can live with it. Right now I can’t surrender my mind fully to reality. Which is where inquiry comes in, to help me to do that permanently.

@Martin123 I surrender my mind during my inquiry practice, not when watching videos. I watch videos for information that could help my inquiry practice. P.S. Kahn can’t enlighten you in his videos. If you’re not getting some sort of information or inspiration from his videos for your PRACTICE, then you’re wasting your time.

@Martin123 I guess that’s not my cup of tea. I don’t feel anything when watching those gurus. If they have fascinating techniques and a clear cut goal I listen. Otherwise I’m out of there.

@MM1988 The only reason why Leo appeals to logic is to convince you to wake up from it. Since you understand only logic, that’s the only thing he can speak with you guys of. But ofcourse logic is another concept, and is false. To wake up from the dream includes realising that.

@Martin123 Matt Kahn’s videos are impossible to watch! I tried watching several of them, but I could never go past 10 mins, because I can’t figure out what he’s trying to say. He just rambles on about love. What does he teach in his videos?

@Outer LOC 768. Although I don’t agree with him.

@Barry J Read Ramaji’s book ‘1000’. It’s basically a model for how enlightened you are. Of course some people are enlightened, but the question comes to who is more enlightened than who. That’s what this book answers.
