Nishanth Selvalingam - Buddha at the Gas Pump Interview

[@seankerr9158]

Recently discovered this guy and can’t get enough of him. Brilliant mind, vast learning, already at such a young age. Nish could lead us into a new era of depth of engagement and understanding of Indian sources in the US. Very few have such learning and power of articulation. Not to mention energy! It never seems to flag. Jai Nish! 👏 Look forward to seeing your rise and development. Wishing you best

[@mykolakozak]

One of my favorite interviews in a while time. I feel like he would be a cool guy to chill with.

[@lisacaito2601]

Enjoyed this interview Rick. Thank you! He is a gifted, knowlegable speaker whose mind seems to work very fast. I understand this as my son is very similiar and was also a university debater. This way of speaking can be off-putting to some. However, those, like my son and Nish, who speak quickly are not evil as one person previously commented. Their minds just work differently. Personally, I found him delightful.

[@PureBelovedParsley]

I was thinking about Vata, Pitta, and Kapha…. And I thought, this is a Vata person! Energetic and vivacious! (and not the negative side: anxiety). I wondered… is all this energy natural? No stimulant like caffeine? I’m going to hope it’s all natural. 🙂

[@lbazemore585]

Evil?? How could anyone possible have such a thought about this lovely person? He absolutely fills me with shaktipat to hear him!!

[@user-pk1pc8to3w]

For me the talking was too quick so I looked only a very small part of the interview. It is deep and not easy to grab knowledge and wisdo, I think it is important to speak on a pace that all people can follow. So Nish the Fish swim a little slower please

[@AnaAnselmo-gu4fq]

Thank you Nish for the light of your knowlege that you share with us, with such brightness. Your Joy is healing on itself!🙏🙏🙏

[@ghostlip1]

I hear God speak through Nish every time I watch his videos. I discovered him while cleaning an enclosure of my pet cobras, my phone dropped and started playing one of his videos. And I had an experience of Ma Kali.

[@JohnnyBinyourfilters]

Wow what a impressive motor mouth He knows his stuff and has it at his fingertips The comments say more about your listeners than your guest Great pick!

[@PureBelovedParsley]

This interview is packed with so much information and explanation, which is wonderful if one has been on the path a very long time (longer than he is old!). I will have to listen again and maybe slow down the speed for this aging… brain. 😃😄 I have a similar, “aha” as when I listened to Adyashanti’s, The End of Your World, back in 2010 or 2011?… and Adya described and explained so many of my experiences. Sometimes we need intellectual, Intelligent understanding of things. 👍🏻🙏🙂 Thank you

[@Alykat736]

On top of the great content - i Love his energy!

[@AnaAnselmo-gu4fq]

So much knowlege in such a young life! The world would call him a hight potential,I'd call him a Tulpa! But most of all so little Ego and such pure Joy are the ultimate proofs of his Light !🙏🙏🙏

[@innocenzz]

Only 17 minutes into this interview but wow! Someone commented below that "he is a gifted knowlegable speaker whose mind seems to work very fast" It actually reminds me of a interview of Ramesh Balsekar by a show called "Portraits of Faith" in which Ramesh explains that when he did the translations for Nisargedatta in the beginning the mind had to work in order to do the translation, but at a certain point the mind has been established so to say and he couldn't wait before Nisargatta made his point. He then could clearly see that there is only ONE speaking and that he already knew what Nisargedatta wanted to say. It's when the mind is well established into the subject of oneness, enlightenment or whatever and that there is not much noise or interference left blocking translation, explanation or sharing anymore. In other words the speaker, the words being spoken or the words being heard are all blended into oneness, a perfect synchronicity. The Ramesh interview is here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJ_Cc2SNl5qBiNU at 3:34 he explains he wasn't doing the talking

A disciple asked Ramana Maharishi why he had a tremor. He answered ,that if you put an elephant in a hut the hut will tremble.

[@MGTOWbrotherhoood]

Tremor or tumour?

[@mariolabrooks-mq5yy]

Superb guest!!

[@PatrickCLEMENT-tf6mr]

Impressionnant !

[@kenjones102]

I believe that what he said about that pulsation is reflected in the body, as evidenced by Ramana Maharshi and others in the gentle swaying of their heads. I've seen it friends after they had big awakenings.

[@michaelBodhiBhakti]

It's mind blowing the dissolution of the world that happens once eyes begin to open

Great interview despite the comments ❤

[@sandeshcsheth]

I love this type of introduction instead of reading one out.

[@christinakarlhoff1058]

This was an especially excellent conversation through which learning more about the heart of true spiritual practice is highlighted. Would it be accurate to say that sutra is the law and tantra is the action and mantra is a method of voicing of divine law and action?

[@jacquesboutelet8643]

Lovely ❤talk

[@ravivaradhan4956]

Understandably, the sexual aspect of Tantra is greatly misunderstood. My view is that sexual urge is by far the strongest of all biological urges. Tantra says that rather than looking at sex as an act of sin, first convert it into a healthy activity, by practicing it in a committed relationship. Then raise it to the next level by Divinizing it, by invoking a deep appreciation of the man-woman union as one of the great gifts of life and as a magnificent expression of the universal creative energy.

[@dafa-v2i]

[@bhajandaniel9771]

I don't buy the views on teachers anymore that were expressed in this video. There are dark sides to that as well starting with the problem of overbearing authoritarianism but not stopping there. I can tell you about it personally since I've been through it with teachers in disciplic successions, including in the Ramakrishna order. Think for yourself but forget thinking for yourself if you come into the grip of many of these teachers. Otherwise, great talk.

[@kenjones102]

Rick didn't comment on the mantras given in TM. According to insiders, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi stripped the mantras of deities.

[@Batgap]

In the early days (Rishikesh courses) he told teachers in training that the mantras are associated with deities and explained their mechanics in light of that, but teachers were told that was not something they should explain to the public.

[@kripaharris237]

I question his comments about crazy tantic sex practices being ok and helping someone. My first guru was a tantic master in Calcutta and adamantly warned against such practices as unless you are highly prepared they will degrade you . MataAmritanandaMayi also clearly warns against it .I've heard her say it takes rigorous austerities and preparation to successfully practice tantic sex otherwise it will have a negative effect Just saying ....😊

You are aware, that Rick says in his introduction „ongoing series of conversations with spiritually awakening people“, aren‘t you? Rick hasn‘t the obligation to only interview „awakened“ folks. What does awakened even mean? It isn’t a race or something.

[@ali-karimi1]

Too much meth, or Adderall. Or maybe it's a genetic condition. Childhood trauma could also cause this level of fast-talking if not treated early enough. I wonder how much he eats in a day to meet the energy requirements of talking non-stop. How many meals, how big of a portion, etc Honestly though. Jesus Christ, man.
