Experience? How do you experience time?

Is time an illusion of mind? I know we have a clock to measure time but what is time actually?

@Truth this is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for finding the video

@Leo Gura I wish leo you could take a video about this topic. I know you have already a ton of videos about enlightenment and related stuff but those are deep topics a common man may not understand to begin with... your thoughts ?

@Truth I get what you are saying because I am a spiritual person and following Leo’s videos for 3 years so I fully agree but to a common man who ask me this question “why do I need god?” I am not sure how should I answer him. this is where I am stuck.

@Truth so we need god to awaken us? So what’s the use for me in my daily life? I still have to do my stuff and god is not going to help me so why I need him?

@Truth so what is your answer to “why do we need god?”

@Joseph Maynor a common man may not think your way right? All he needs to know is why do we need god? What should I tell him

One of my friend asked me a question “does god exist or not..tell me yes/no” ..since he asked this question in a casual way I don’t want to give an elaborate answer so I asked him back a question “why do u need god in first place? God is not going to help you do your work and you have to work for everything you want to achieve in your life so what difference does it make if god exists or not?” after I asked this question he was speechless so I am I ...why do we need god ? I know my egoic mind is making me to ask this question and I am curious to get answers from this forum what each one thinks

Is this topic appropriate for this forum? Guys, please think before posting plz.

@Monkey-man Honestly, The first thing that came to my mind when i read your post is "what.... is this an issue in first place" ...Later i realized, each person emotional state is different that even small thoughts like these may bother them like hell. This is my recommendation everytime when you get this thought Imagine yourself that you were born in a poor country (say in africa) and starving for food or imagine kids dying in africa because of lack of food/water etc So now compare this situation with your current situation...does it not sound silly? you are just knocked down by one thought whereas people in real life face a lot of tough situations day in day out but it is possible they may be relatively happy compared to you....for e.g the starving kid in africa will be happy when he gets his food and all his focus will be on his basic needs..thats it.... since your basic needs are met, you are getting affected by things which are actually not that important. Your problem is acceptance. everybody grows old and dies one day and you have to accept that in a deeper level. Once you accept that you have to live in the present as much as you can because thats all you have throughout your life. So make the most out of it instead of thinking past/future. Extract the max juice out of life and you can do that by being in the presence. Your importance to your age shows how much power you have given to your EGO. It reminds me of one of the spiritual masters saying "In the vast cosmos, the physical is probably 1% only and in that our solar system is a spec and in that our earth is a micro spec and in that you are super duper duper micro spec but YOU THINK otherwise" that is a big problem. Take things easy man...Keep your mind busy with full of positive thoughts, Live your life.. This is not an issue at all

@Wyatt no don’t give up until it becomes a habit..any habit is easy to start but after the initial few days the mind tricks you to go back to your old ways...if you feel low, say to yourself this will change soon and it will in a matter of time. I read the book and it was so wonderfully articulated and it did have a deep impact on me. Remember one thing “reading becomes useless without practice” i read power of now 3 years back but never put it to practice and I regret that ..I am now practicing for the last 2 months sincerely and it keeps me calm and focused.

@lmfao can you tell me what is your daily routine? I have a suggestion but before I give one I need to know your routine

@Elton How are you doing now? How is your meditation practice going? Quit smoking permanently?

@hinawashi Remember this everytime you are trying to hurt others, you are investing your energy. The more you invest your energy, the more you get depleted. Treat your internal ENERGY like MONEY. You have only certain energy from morning to night and you have to use your energy wisely so that you are very active throughout the day till you hit the bed. If you get such revengeful emotions, just acknowledge it and say to yourself gently in a calm way that "I am not going to waste my energy on this person/situation etc" and that's it you can let it go..Now that you have analyzed your behavior and asked this question here shows that you have taken the first step and the next step is just to be aware and let it go. It is very simple and you trust yourself you can do it and you will.
