Otherwise, it just stays silent? 6:48 The Truth as that which never changes, and which has always existed. 7:29 If a Yogi is in Supreme Peace all the time and free of desires, what motivates him or her to move or to act? 8:17 So, for a Yogi, the only motivation would be to help other people become Yogis? 8:37 "One who still has the ego-sense of 'I' acts even when not performing actions. The one who has no sense of 'I' does not act even when performing actions." 9:13 The Yogi spontaneously carrying out activity, as a witness, witnessing the whole thing? 9:48 A person will never become eternal, but they can realize they are Pure Consciousness, or Eternal Existence.  10:36 Verse 29, Babaji's comments. 11:06 Verse 30. "The consciousness of the liberated One is neither troubled nor pleased—actionless, motionless, desireless, free of all doubt.”  13:14 Is ignorance just the belief that consciousness is a body—that our existence is a body? 14:07 We are aware we exist even without thinking. 15:44  "Pure Consciousness exists in itself." 20:22 Are there any thoughts that can give liberation?  22:18 Verse 31. "The consciousness of the Liberated One has no aim to be meditative or to be active; it simply becomes meditative or active spontaneously." 23:36 If you had to give an identity of yourself, just for the sake of words and understanding, what would you say? How would you identify yourself? 25:26 "The Yogi remains quiet and does not experience any destiny mentally and watches as a witness." 26:46 Most people’s mind have something going on all the time, like imagining and remembering. 27:43 So, being involved in your thoughts constantly you're unable to see your Self? 28:58 Can a yogi have a desire? Could he wish something for the world? 29:57 The world is not because of our own desire or making? What produces it? 30:26 Verse 32. " On hearing the real truth spoken, an unreceptive, dull student might become bewildered. A more qualified student might withdraw his mind's activity as instructed, and might thus appear like a dull fool." 32:20 Verse 33.  "Those who are perplexed constantly practice concentration and control of the mind; but the Wise—abiding in the True Self —do not find any actions needing to be performed.” 35:19 Everybody nowadays has a means to post on the internet to tell the world about their mind, and it can get pretty bizarre. 36:12 So many mixed messages and gurus cropping up in today's world. 38:01 Verse 34. "Ignorant people do not attain peaceful happiness by either action or inaction; but for the Wise One simply knowing the Truth gives peaceful happiness."  38:18 What constitutes knowing? And can thoughts liberate a person? 39:14 The only way to know that Truth is to become Truth. You are that Truth. 39:47 In the gap between the relative and the absolute, knowingness of the Self can happen. 41:22 An unrealized person might think the absolute is a state of zero, but in fact it's a state of infinity? 42:20 Meaning of Satyam Shivam Sundaram. 42:53 Why doesn't the Self completely pervade our mind in spite of our ignorance? 45:30 How do I navigate the world knowing that it's all a lie? 48:14 How a Yogi shows compassion. 50:11 Is time also an imagination? 52:57 What is the purpose of God and this creation? 54:13 Can Yogis time travel? 55:00 What does one hour of perfection in meditation look like?  56:15 Why you must avoid moving the body in meditation. 57:53 Meditation without an external anchor. 1:00:02 Is it just time and meditation which helps to heal agitations, to forgive and forget? 1:01:40 If there is no time, there can be no time, even for imaginations. ___ Website: http://www.srby.org Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/shivarudrabalayogi Twitter: https://twitter.com/SRBYmission Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shivarudrabalayogi/ Register your free place for the live online meditation and Q&A with Babaji: https://www.shivarudrabalayogi.org/en/online-satsang  Website: http://www.srby.org Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/shivarudrabalayogi Twitter: https://twitter.com/SRBYmission Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shivarudrabalayogi/

How to overcome this? 45:25 What secrets of the mind were revealed to Babaji in Tapas? 47:08 I it possible to take the spiritual journey that Babaji went through, without being in Ashram life? 50:21 Is it not good to put insects in a safe place away from danger, as if they are killed they will go to heaven? 52:16 If we help homeless people for instance, do we take on their karma? 53:24 How to remain in the awareness in meditation outside the practice? 54:06 Is meditation the only way to come out of the illusion?   ___ Website: http://www.srby.org Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/shivarudrabalayogi Twitter: https://twitter.com/SRBYmission Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shivarudrabalayogi/ Register your free place for the live online meditation and Q&A with Babaji: https://www.shivarudrabalayogi.org/en/online-satsang  Website: http://www.srby.org Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/shivarudrabalayogi Twitter: https://twitter.com/SRBYmission Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shivarudrabalayogi/

It never actually stays in the middle, on the Self. 15:37 If it's beneficial to a larger cause, without getting mentally involved, the wise yogi does work mechanically. 17:37 There's no longer an individual imagined self? 18:18 What is it that makes a yogi to act if they are in supreme peace and always free of desires? 20:07 Once the yogi becomes aware that they are the Self, is the body's action just being carried on by the karma of the world, or of the creation? 21:18 You've liberated yourself, yet your body continues to serve humanity, by to trying to raise the consciousness. So isn't that just an act of the Self continuing to use your body? 22:12 Verse 21.  Easily, a yogi will have acceptance for the things that happen. 23:01 Verse 22.  "A yogi moves in this world without the universe registering in their consciousness." 24:11 There is neither joy nor sorrow, so what's left? 25:32 You are the space, but You are beyond the space? 26:45 Verse 23. Yogis have no resolutions in the mind. 28:17 How do you strength your faith? 28:56 Verse 24.  That One is not affected by either honor or dishonor. 29:49 Nothing really registers in a yogi's consciousness - but Babaji seems to be the most conscious and the most responsive person. 34:38 Verse 25. Consciously, A yogi never gets involved in the doership or undergoes any fruits or results of any karmas.  35:52 Verse 26.  Though they are simply acting, and in reality are not in this world's scheme. The yogi also never claims that they are acting. 39:20 Verse 27.  "Tired of thinking about many different things, the consciousness has settled peacefully, and neither thinks nor knows nor hears nor sees." 41:12 When the Self is fully realized, Self-Realization is complete and permanent a yogi can't fall from that state. Is that true? 43:23 At what point in your tapas had you reached the state of no return, the state of permanent Self-Realization? 44:55 During your tapas, Swamiji was taking you through celestial lokas and said, "Be careful, don't get attracted to any of this, or you could be here a long time". 48:22 When the acceptance and love for Swamiji was so strong, what could have been the ego that Swamiji was trying to get rid of in Babaji? 51:14 How does a guru realise there is ego in the disciple? 52:09 A feeling of when there is nothing to pay attention to, naturally it goes to the space. 54:05 When the thoughts go away in meditation, then what? 55:40 The mind merging with the Self. 56:18 Does Babaji as the guru operate differently to Babaji the man? 57:28 I fear that the last step in gaining enlightenment will never come. 58:33 When I concentrate between the eyebrows I get more thoughts.  If I concentrate on the space, I have less thoughts. 59:37 Before doing Tapas did you still have a sense of 'I'?   Website: http://www.srby.org Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/shivarudrabalayogi Twitter: https://twitter.com/SRBYmission Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shivarudrabalayogi/ Register your free place for the live online meditation and Q&A with Babaji: https://www.shivarudrabalayogi.org/en/online-satsang  Website: http://www.srby.org Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/shivarudrabalayogi Twitter: https://twitter.com/SRBYmission Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shivarudrabalayogi/

Is there a science underlying all of creation and the Truth itself? 37:23 How did the ancient sages know how to realise the Ultimate Truth? 40:30 At the level of Parabrahman, are the supreme consciousness and supreme energy are also imaginations? 41:52 What is the relationship between attention and imagination? 42:31 How is it that we can concentrate in between the eyebrows in meditation? 43:48 Where does the idea that we are all made of the same material come from? 45:30 When we are completely quiet, how does the Supreme Consciousness communicate with the individual imagination? 48:22 If everybody has come to play a role in this world, is it the soul's plan or the Divinity's plan? 50:11 When people make wrong choices in their life, is that their pre-birth soul's plan? 50:48 After this lifetime, does the soul think that I have accomplished what I wanted to do, even though it was wrong? 51:32 When I am sitting for long in meditation, my head drops and interrupts my meditation. 52:15 If consistent meditation can lead us to samadhi, then what is the purpose of Tapas? 53:19 If the Self is non-dual and non-duality is the reality, then what is the point of anything anyway? 54:27 When something arises in the mind, how to not get involved in it again? 55:26 It seems challenging to quieten the mind. 56:12 Innumerable thoughts and concerns are in the mind - would it be necessary to come out of the complexity of the external world to achieve samadhi? 58:50 Difficult to stay in a community when practicing disciplined sadhana. ___ Website: http://www.srby.org Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/shivarudrabalayogi Twitter: https://twitter.com/SRBYmission Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shivarudrabalayogi/ Register your free place for the live online meditation and Q&A with Babaji: https://www.shivarudrabalayogi.org/en/online-satsang  Website: http://www.srby.org Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/shivarudrabalayogi Twitter: https://twitter.com/SRBYmission Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shivarudrabalayogi/

When there is ‘I,' there is bondage. 27:43 You realize you're just the watcher, the silent witness to what the mind is creating and projecting? 31:07 "I assure you, you can never make yourself disappear." 32:46 If you remain quiet in your mind, that is Pure Consciousness, and being in the Self, that is the nature of Self Realization - story of Rama and Ravana from the Ramayana. 35:51 "When the body urges of hunger, etc., happen, it appears as if they're happening to us. This is because consciousness is stuck into the reflections of the brain.." 41:54 It seems that every being has come into this world with ignorance, so there could be no one who is Self-Realized coming into the world. 44:28 The Divine is supposed to be all peace, and supreme peace. So why does it incorporate suffering into its existence? 50:33 How do we know the difference between the intuition and the ego? H 53:28 The terminologies Mind, Supreme Consciousness, space - are they all one and the same, and you use the nearest analogy to help? 56:12 When we ask for grace from the so called Divine. Is it we ourselves that are giving us grace? 57:02  Is it because normal human beings hold onto the past and present that they suffer more mentally? 59:08 How to practice to see everything you see outside of you is nothing but you. 1:00:19 Advice for when age advances and memory and knowledge falls away. 1:03:49 What happens when a desire is binding. How do you tell if a desire is or is not binding? 1:04:30 How to not be overpowered by a person or a situation and keep centered in spiritual power. ___ Website: http://www.srby.org Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/shivarudrabalayogi Twitter: https://twitter.com/SRBYmission Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shivarudrabalayogi/ Register your free place for the live online meditation and Q&A with Babaji: https://www.shivarudrabalayogi.org/en/online-satsang  Website: http://www.srby.org Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/shivarudrabalayogi Twitter: https://twitter.com/SRBYmission Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shivarudrabalayogi/
