  1. One wrong question will lead to another wrong question. Awareness is absolutely devoid of any subjectivity or objectivity. Awareness is total – total subjectivity and total objectivity as a single phenomenon. It is difficult to jump from ordinary, unconscious action into awareness. It is possible but arduous, so a step in between is helpful. If one begins by witnessing conscious activity, then the jump becomes easier – the jump into awareness without any conscious object, without any conscious subject, without any conscious activity at all. This doesn't mean that awareness isn't consciousness; it is pure consciousness, but no one is conscious about it. There is a further difference between consciousness and awareness. Consciousness is a quality of your mind, but it is not your total mind. Your mind can be both conscious and unconscious; but when you transcend your mind, there is no unconsciousness and no corresponding consciousness. There is awareness. Awareness means that the total mind has become aware. Now the old mind is not there but there is the quality of being conscious. Awareness has become the totality; the mind itself is now part of the awareness. We cannot say that the mind is aware; we can only meaningfully say that the mind is conscious. Awareness means transcendence of the mind, so it is not the mind that is aware. It is only through transcendence of the mind, through going beyond mind, that awareness becomes possible. Consciousness is a quality of the mind, awareness is the transcendence.
  2. Whatever you are looking can't be awareness. Neither you feel it nor you can sense it. It is the awareness which witnesses the feelings and sensations.
  3. I was non-vegetarian earlier, my journey towards meditation changed me.
  4. It makes difference to those who are committed to grow into a meditator. They can feel the difference.
  5. No, death will not make you enlightened. After death during the bodiless existence, the interval between two bodies, the experiences and impressions of all previous births remain with the soul in seed form. As soon as the soul acquires a body, they will become active. It is like taking away a car from a person who has always been driving. Now he cannot drive a car or press an accelerator - because he has no car. Neither can he apply brakes to slow down. But his experiences of car driving remain with him. He is out of the car, but his experiences of driving remain with him in seed form. If he acquires a car after some years, he will be able to drive it as soon as he puts his foot on the accelerator.
  6. It is not about health, some foods if taken in right quantity make meditation easier.
  7. No. You want easy solutions for such a big accomplishment, first become a tough guy.
  8. "You are what you eat", If you are a meditator and a vegetarian, try non- vegetarian food for few weeks on regular basis. You will clearly observe what difference it can make.
  9. You must be enforcing celibacy by eating less, without doing enough physical exercise. This will make you cold, not a real celibate.
  10. Unless you become completely idiot, it is not possible. Join army or martial arts and try to enforce celibacy, always keep yourself busy. You will turn into a beast.
  11. Tibet has been occupied by china. The only country in the world which has devoted all its genius to the inner exploration is Tibet. Its findings are of tremendous value. But unfortunately, Tibet has fallen into a darkness. Its monasteries have been closed, its seekers of truth have been forced to work in labor camps. The only country in the world which was working -- a one-pointed genius, all its intelligence in the search for one's own interiority and its treasures -- has been stopped by the Chinese invasion of Tibet.
  12. It was from Ramana Maharshi. http://www.speakingtree.in/blog/cow-an-enlightened-animal-ramana-maharshi http://www.cowism.com/holy-cow-that-received-enlightenment.html
  13. Which question ? Get some medical treatment so that you talk like a sane person on a public forum .
  14. Do you forgot to take some medicines ?
  15. Which animal told you that they do not look for fulfillment in external objects ?
  16. From where did you learnt it ? from Vedanta ?
  17. I was talking about deaf and dumb people, who can neither hear nor speak, can't learn any complex language.
  18. If a person is deaf and dumb since birth, he will not be able to learn any complex language, still he will have an ego. Language is not the single thing we learn from society.
  19. Is it sarcasm ? or now animals ego matters you ?
  20. Does absence of phone and therapists prove that monkeys have no ego ?
  21. Is it your own experience ? or imagination ?
  22. Experience of what ? animal ego ?
