385. Bhagavan Ramana Satsang - Choose your Path and Stick to it.

4th May 2022
These recordings are from live Satsangs at Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi Centre in Melbourne, Australia. All the pointers during the Satsang are compiled by Dr Vidya Narasimhan.
Satsang is a Sanskrit term derived from two roots: sat meaning "true’" and sangha meaning community, company, or association. It can be translated as "associating with good people" or simply "being in the company of truth," and refers to the act of gathering with Sattvic-minded, uplifting beings, especially spiritual seekers.
Satsang is different from any course or lecture because the energy field in it allows for clarity, stillness, and expanded awareness to be experienced by those who seek it.
Whenever something increases your awareness of the Truth, it opens your Heart and quiets your mind.
Satsang is one of the most effective means of transcending your mind and staying in the egoless state which can be called enlightenment, liberation, freedom, moksha, nirvana or simply abiding in Self.
We call our Satsang lovingly as Bhagavan Satsang as they are all due to his grace, Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi.
According to Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi Satsang means only Atma Sang(Association with Self). Those who are trying to be in Self can come in the company of realized beings/Sadhus/Saints/Sages and that is also Satsang. Those who come in the company of Jivanmuktas also become Jivanmuktas.
Bhagavan explained the importance of Satsang by quoting Tayumanuvar, Suta Samhita, and Kaivalya Navanitam.
Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi is widely thought of as one of the most outstanding Indian spiritual teachers of recent times. Having attained enlightenment at the age of 16, he was drawn to the holy mountain of Arunachala in southern India and remained there for the rest of his life. Arunachala mountain itself is considered to be self-manifested Lingam, an incarnation of Lord Shiva. Just by looking at it with reverence liberation will happen.
Attracted by his stillness, quietness, and teachings, thousands sought his guidance on issues ranging from the nature of God to daily life.
The philosophy of Advaita or Non-Duality has become, along with Buddhism, one of the most popular spiritual paths being pursued by those interested in enlightenment today. During the past three decades, Advaita has become more widely recognized in the West through the ever-growing popularity of Ramana Maharshi. His point of view has for its aim Self-realization. The central path taught in this philosophy is the inquiry into the nature of Self, the content of the notional 'I-thought'. Carl Jung wrote of Ramana: “Sri Ramana is a true son of the Indian earth. He is genuine and, in addition to that, something quite phenomenal. In India, he is the whitest spot in a white space. What we find in the life and teachings of Sri Ramana is the purest of India; with its breath of world-liberated and liberating humanity, it is a chant of millenniums.”
Om Peace Peace Peace.

Thanks for this teaching. I follow Ramesh Balsekar who was always clear like yourself. You showed such love and compassion to Simon i his questions . Ramesh would say that enlightenment happens by the grace of God and the questions end. The direct path you teach is the simplest teaching that needs nothing else …thank you Sanjay. Ramesh would often say at the beginning of Satsang to just listen and not try and grasp the teaching as often this grasping will result in the ego who thinks it is a doer will jump in and try to argue. I just love your simple delivery. Thankyou

THE NOBLE EIGHTFOLD PATH Right understanding (Samma ditthi) Right thought (Samma sankappa) Right speech (Samma vaca) Right action (Samma kammanta) Right livelihood (Samma ajiva) Right effort (Samma vayama) Right mindfulness (Samma sati) Right concentration (Samma samadhi) Listening carefully to James, near the end, made me think of the 8 fold path. Also, Paramahansa Yogananda said that even atheists can and do practice deep concentration. They also can and do perform many good deeds. (Karmic actions) But this doesn't make them Yogis. Many Westerners do feel activity is needed and it is also part of a Christian background to do "good works". I can see how to let go of actions, even good deeds, and sit and do nothing can seem a waste of a human life. This is one of many recent audios I have listened to on this channel. I am deeply grateful for the patience and effort the speaker puts into conveying the teachings. My guru is Jesus and yet it took me decades of searching in Eastern teachings to undo my childhood Christian upbringing. What I read in the scriptures was not what I was told was the teachings. It was always action, action action to the point of exhaustion. The more exhausted one was, the better Christian one was. Eastern teachings took me back to the core of Christ's way of life. That Peace within radiates without. To do no thing is still doing but in the form of "being". Be still and know ( I am ) God. These lectures have been deeply insightful and resonate so very deeply with me. 🙏

BRILLIANT talk

[@jamesjosheph3006]

Avoid Doership....Be a witness....Sir, you are right only. In Indian terms, Yadruchya, accidentally if a karma is required, do it. Minimum Vasanas good . Yes sir, things happen, not we do them.

In pure awareness we become fearless, egoless… pure freedom and bliss. Deep gratitude for this absolute ultimate wisdom. Namaste🙏❤️🕊

[@Acode7940]

It is my understanding that the second Secretary-General of the United Nations, Dag Hammarskjold, was a karma yoga. He probably did not label his later life that way. Even befoe being asked to be Secreatry-General, he was as a thirty-something man a very accomplished one--President of the Bank of Sweden--but not attached to that. He was, however, "empty, forlorn, adrift." In the process of saying Yes to be S-G and in doing that office his whole life changed, He lost all fear physical or psychological, performed with the kind of excellence only so brilliant a man with a photographic memory could, who no longer feared the slings and arrows of others, and, for the first time in his life, enjoyed and attrached people who worked for and adored him. In his words, he had said "Yes," unequivocally, to something. Worth reading about...

[@Progenitor1979]

I love Osho and thereby follow him. He and Ramana make a beautiful pair!
