Prosperity is better than poverty because we have options , opportunities. But wealth comes with good deeds , rich people turn to spiritual path because there is nothing to turn around to anything . It’s blessings for rich people to have opportunity to go to god . AIR is so happy and so joyful

[@santosh.k.n]

It is otherwise. Those who have much more accomplished they have more difficulty to leave but those who does not have anything they are blessed to accomplish spiritual blessings as they have nothing to loose!!! All great spiritual leaders are born in poverty and they attained enlightenment in poverty not at prosperity.

[@kireetikon]

i think the best video from curly tales is this one.curly tales started with food which is pleasure to liberation of mind-moksha. He is the living embodiment of our Upanishads. i would like to appreciate you for getting the most happiest person on earthy to this show.

[@parimalbhogale8331]

I can relate ... enlightenment experience in 2022...only those who experience this can relate ...else it will be difficult to digest . This is 💯 percent true . Great show .

[@ShivMathur]

No enlightened person claims openly that he is enlightened. He is simply basking in the glory of his material success and living a lavish lifestyle all by himself and created this aura of enlightenment as with money many create this aura of guru and spend on branding themselves

[@aastha466]

Only intelligent comment here.

[@MrNaishadh]

True

[@SankHar4]

Exactly! There is a huge market for pleasure spiritual sellers.most people need the material success as per their own benchmark relatively though they are financially independent. Because of those problems they suround themselves with spiritual shit.

[@papiasaha4322]

It is necessary for awakening rich egoistic people

[@Randomest_Stories]

Which truly enlightened persons are you referring to? Buddha also claimed enlightenment and he set up a Sangha and system and preached for next nearly 50 years. So .....can u give the examples u have in mind. Ofcourse even that joker MSG Baba Ram Rahim claims enlightenment. In a marketplace you find diamonds and fake diamonds ....u should know the difference.... because if u don't know how ...all that will happen is u will get fooled

[@pramildadsouza5425]

Almost related .. I achieved everything at my 45.. l was introduced yoga n then everything is changed in my life.. yoga, meditation, spirituality… really its eternal peace 😍

[@Raj-mw9gb]

One can say all this because he has all the financial security in life. He doesn’t have to worry about filling his stomach. Ask any person who is sleeping hungry on streets and will he care for spirituality or filling his stomach.

[@Gauthamkumarshriyan]

True

[@kalpanabhat3513]

Poor people has to do good karma to realise wealth later they will take up spirituality on their own . This is called transformation , from poor to rich and from rich to renounce

[@user-ob8yn2mx9t]

That is not very true. Your creator will always fulfil every man’s needs ( When I say this, I am aware there are people in the world still dying of hunger. Perhaps they have fulfilled the objective of this life & have moved on to the next ) . That does not mean you sit at home & meditate 24/7. Be selfless & work for a greater good & also be cognisant of your responsibilities towards yourself & your family / dependents . Trust me on this, you will be cared for . When the fruit is ripe, it will just separate from the tree on its own & fall down. When the time is right, we will all go through the “ light bulb moment ” . By a combination Karma- selfless service to the community , Bhakti - devotion to your God , Meditation & yearning for spiritual knowledge and love for all beings and surroundings will lead you there sooner. God Bless.

[@brizhnev]

​@@kalpanabhat3513 wealth is not realised .. wealth is created ... Poor People had to do good karma ?? As if Rich people don't have to do bad Karma 😂😂😂🤦🤦

[@sivaram8671]

For a hungry person food is God.

[@xxxzzz3501]

There is a great deal to admire in this person.Being in business is very hard and competitive.He has a great deal of positivity about him.He talks well and generates excitement.I wish him well

[@bhaktinsargam]

such a nice video, i cant imagine curly tales did such a good job, i am on a spiritual path too and this is my 4th year doing bhakti yoga. to listen from him has strengthened my path manifold and i m going to show this video to all the people who oppose my path. haribol! and to the tycoon person, welcome to the eternal family. i will surely join his zoom later tonight. haribol

[@damodarsharma9191]

Only Sh Ravi is authorized to speak n tell whole nation n humanity about this transformation It is natural

[@dsvikas]

I don't want to judge this person as I have not done 1% of what he has. Only thing I can say is May God bless him.

[@arvindsheral6857]

अहं ब्रम्हास्मी, तत्वमसी! How simple and from the bottom of heart this "Enlightened soul" had conveyed to us. It's just Mesmerizing, Awesome and out of this world! Thanks Kamya for this amazing & " Wise" interview, where most of the time you kept MUM.

[@brizhnev]

If you have Mind there is No Peace If there is Peace there is No Mind Thats Osho statement ❤❤❤

[@anita-lb4bw]

Osho had mental health issues. He screwed up thousands of people and orange City when he was arrested by FBI. He blames his disciples . That. He don't know where he is going in private jet. 😢 . Sheila was his disciple And both blame each other 😢.bunch of idiots under one roof. In the name of spritualty. 😢.stay away from These kinds of thugs. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@mili765]

Yes. KempFort was near our house. The famous Lord Shiva Temple is there. It's the main prominent place. From 1996 we came to Bangalore, we shop from Big Kid's Kemp. But once in a year. As we came to know that Big Kid's Kemp is a very costly mall. But both my daughters loved to shop their sarees from there. Ty so much curly Tales for sharing this most inspiring interview. 🙏

[@Nityanand-ro5ft]

Do you still have those saarees...my cousins saaree given to Air India Air Hostess in 1975 is still going strong...

[@karnamniranjanprasad735]

Big Kids kemp is a very big name in those time's, we used to visit the shop only to see from the outside, because we used to feel it's very costly inside and it's only for the rich, reminds me of Maslow theory of hierarchy which is one of the few things which we remember from our school day's. Life from a different perspective-angle, good to share.

[@clodhopper-dodo]

He is quite rich. His dogs, garden are posh and need expenses. The only thing, he wanted to live life with certain idea. He is able to do it. But ideas don't make you free. But I am certain, he will soon get bored with these media people, story telling aptitude etc. If he is not bored, he is entangled into another money minting game and fooling us.

[@john7777903]

Its like a eye openeer for people like us ,when we heart testimonies of big tycoons like him ,we understand one thing tht the purpose of life is happiness i wanna quote from the Bible it says like this "As for the rich in this present age, charge them not to be haughty, nor to set their hopes on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy. They are to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share, thus storing up treasure for themselves as a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of that which is truly life."

[@mohanlalrampersad490]

When u have money you can do whatever you want. You have happiness. You can even buy spirituality. 😀😁😂 Money gives aanand. .

[@UPAKHOSALA]

😅😊😂 an Loaded with Sandalwood compares it with bagfull of Coal

[@UPAKHOSALA]

Spirituality starts with SPIRIT. it cannot be bought

[@mohanlalrampersad490]

Ha 😀😂 Money can buy anything. Spirituality, enlightenment and even a guru.

[@kashishshunyam]

Opening up Charity, too may be a sign of show off ! Show off is done to get someone's attention !

[@dr.m.gopichandgopichand7214]

Not always

[@kashishshunyam]

​@@dr.m.gopichandgopichand7214 If not always, why don't children do charity ! (out of their own will ) ? Isn't doing charity taught to us ? Just like making money is taught to us ? -or- just like being spiritual is taught to us too !!~

[@UPAKHOSALA]

​@kashishshunyam u may be Very fortunate to have lots of money 💰 given by ur Wealthy guardian how many kids have the power to do charity? is theory in school applied in life ? do u apply everything u learned in ur schooldays ?.😅😊

[@kashishshunyam]

​@@UPAKHOSALA Ofcourse No !! Buddha did not do any charity ! Charity may be done in order to support the Ego ! ~ Kids do not do charity, they do not have any money ! All they have is Joyfulness, and Cheerfulness !~

Everything and everybody around you is you ................. God chose to display your mind on the bigger screen and called it the "world" And he is the one watching it behind this eyes........... When you turn back You see the 'I' (the divine) That see the world With the 'eye'

[@drmohit21583]

When you have achieved life goals much early, it's easy to talk about spirituality but it's not possible for 99 percent who are still to achieve basic goals

[@kalpanabhat3513]

Extremely wise Ravi ji . It’s so soothing to life by listening to Ravi ji . He has attained utmost wisdom and clarity . I thinkRavi ji is enlightened KARMA YOGI

[@ngupta0101]

very true and aptly said.. bliss is everywhere, you need to realize

[@sunderj4774]

The ultimate matter is he has taken Coaching classes from Sadguru Jaggi Vasudev.I had visited his Business outlet Big Kemp I was astounded to see a Salwar Kameez sold for Rs 3500/_ probably twenty years back..Now Spirituality is the country Number one Business in India.The Saddest fact in India is the institution B.C.C.I which is the Richest body in the world don't pay any tax since they are registered as an Charitable institution.

[@karthikrs2848]

Sir, spirituality has always been a business from ancient times. In early times students use to pay a teacher and God in service and servant hood, in this day where social structure has changed they pay money. If Spirituality comes for free it looses it's value. And everybody's time and effort is valuable a Guru or a priest do not have to render their service to anyone for free. In India our problem is we want everything for free or a cheap price but when it comes to our contribution we want people to pay us hefty amounts as a salary or compensation.

[@KrishnamurthyManjarabad-cb2zv]

He had found a great guru in Dada Vaswani and knew when to stop from whatever he was doing and discovered a path of bliss and happiness for himself ; he is doing lots of chartible work besides spreading the purpose of life through his books and talks, great going and persons such as him are a blessing to this world !!

[@ShivMathur]

Curly tales is super greedy. They told me that they will do an episode with me but I will have to pay Rupees twenty lakhs for that upfront in advance. Everything is a big business. They make money from views of the videos. Are people so desperate that they will pay to be interviewed by some star interviewer. Wonder how much did AIR (Mr Ravi) the enlightened man paid to get himself interviewed

[@bishnudash8656]

Is it?

[@ShivMathur]

@@bishnudash8656 yes that’s the business model

[@ukdas5197]

What a nonsense marketing?

[@ShivMathur]

@@bishnudash8656 yes it is like that

[@ShivMathur]

@@ukdas5197 it’s desperation and frustration and someone is making money out of it. This is kaliyug

[@ferozsultan2804]

Best video of curly tales, all the spiritual masters say the same thing in their own way. Turning inward is the way.

This guy was always like … his guru was amazing his show used to come 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@lolo-gn5tr]

I tried reading a book written by this person. Bought it in Sringeri. It was one of the most repetitive and generic books I ever read. Not to sound rude, but Mr. Ravi seems to just quote some popular and prominent phrases from the Upanishads without internalising them or even relating to them through his own experiences. Neti neti, tat tvam asi, aham brahmasmi... Very, very, very profound phrases. They should not be thrown around lightly. They hold and lot of weight. They're, in fact, said to contain in them the essence of all the Vedas and Upanishads. Obviously, not all enlightened persons sound the same, but his tone and speaking speed are still too intense for me to take seriously. If any of you are looking for a proper explanation of such philosophies (especially Shankara's Advaita Vedanta), please check out Dr. H.S. Sinha's two videos on the same. Cannot describe just how effortlessly he explained such nuanced and complex ideas. He backed them up with examples, stories, and even writings of Western philosophers.

[@sheejaeldo9311]

Fantastic show. Thank you AIR and Curly Tales. Monk and Monkey mind thought was so enlightening. 🎉

[@hanishpatel7040]

Really appreciate Curly Tales for such amazing personality 😘

[@shivaraml5692]

Very good episode. There is something truly special about him.

[@lakshmipolukonda9176]

Very good message ,everyone should try to know the purpose of life, and try to bring smiles on others face.

[@Presidency23]

he is talking all in AIR.. too good to be true

[@ChidiyaKiKahani100M]

Whatever he is telling after wandering so much is what Brahmakumaris tell in just 7 days free course.

[@aaaa4086]

What a simlistic way of defining enlightenment. His eyes tell you that he is not enlightened. He is like modern politicians creating nemonics from soul. anyone who has achieved eternal happiness has control over his breath, this fellow doesn’t have that.

[@megbahadurgurung148]

What a beautiful podcast. Thank you❤

[@varunom]

Great conversation. Ravi indeed sounds as enlightened. Creativity flows when Devi's grace is upon you. Like Veda Vyasa wrote several scriptures

[@basureshbabu6962]

Very intelligent and relevant questions were presented to explore the man and his vision. Congratulations to both of them. ❤

[@sanjoyghose1952]

He who has understood the path to self knowledge, does never give any excuses for opting spirituality from materialistic life for self advertisement.

[@ShivMathur]

Same story as mine, except that he has made a lot of money so he has been not able to see the struggles of material deprivation and that is a different situation all together which if he gets to experience he will realise. He goes on frequent retreats because his mind is still wandering and seeking that happiness. Once you actually realise than all the wandering stops in the true sense. Right now his mind is still very agitated

May be he should try living in poorest of poor lifestyle and then preach sprituality ans finding purpose of life...after making money he is living a lavish lifestyle and doing time pass...he has built the easiest business ....business of selling spirituality to people who are unhappy ...given up worldliness 😂 he is living the best of best life. He is enlightened 😂😂😂 this interview is borderline hilarious ....no idea how the interviewer controlled herself

[@bammabo7780]

wow❤

[@meerasingh2327]

You can only understand the purpose of life when you have money in bank and it is growing. True spiritual people stay still and silent ; because they have nothing to boast about. They have a divine world in themselves and rest of the world belongs to the creator ( Parmatama. ) These people understand that they are also a part of the creation.

[@ranjanaamar3168]

Good question from you

[@rishi505]

great

[@vh2906]

Best video

[@Sristi-py6vx]

Dharma for me is not the caste or religion. But it is something that describes the way of life. So all dharma for me has the same final destination the moksha "ultimately knowing my identity?" which is not related with my name, designation parents etc. Just knowing the "Truth of life". But it is really hard to go to that spiritual path, when as a human, we are still not sorted with our basic needs, which indirectly depends on money.

[@geetashetty1834]
