YOU try to deny all your interests? There's your problem. Some dumb motivational speaker told you to pick yourself up by your bootstraps and own yourself. Give your discipline and self control back into the hands of God and the issue will be solved. Or be too proud to listen to me and keep hurting lol. It's up to you.

TM or transcendental meditation as taught by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi is the simplest way to experience that silent deep pure awareness Ie the thoughtless state. It’s an effortless technique .you use a mantra which leaves the mind undirected so it settles into its source. Other thoughts may come and go but they aren’t distracting. One feels expansive silence and the benefits are innumerable. I learned this in 1970 and spent yrs in tiruvanbamalai I’m a great lover of Bhagwan. I’ve spent many yrs doing Srkf inquiry, vippassa.,the work of Byron Katie’s, many visits to Ramesh balsekar and yrs w my sat guru Am,avhi and many other practices but with out the initial TM instruction ,all other practices would be hard and a Strain or force of the mind. With Slow benefits I can’t recommend TM technique highly enough,

It is not Self investigation. That sounds like you are a detective looking for something. This is misleading...... It is Self attention. You simply attend to yourself. And then there is silence. It can be done immediately. And then you just practice staying there. That is all!

Thank you for this Dhara talk. I want to investigate a detial in what you have said in order to better undertand how I am to apply ātma-vichār in my practise. At arround [5:55] you said, "we are turning our attention back towards ourself we are thereby depriving thoughts of our attention that they need." My understanding here is that we do not turn our attention back to ourselves, we turn to that from which the thoughts arrise from." This then is the "I" that Bagwan refers to that is the mind or ego, and ourself or thru nature. As Bagwan called it, the true nature that is ultimamtly oursleves where he sued the term "I - I". For me, if I already had my attention on the "I - I", I would already be awaken. It thus appears to me that you have either missed a step or maybe poorly descibed ātma-vichār, the process of oberving the source of the thoughts. Furthur, that final relaising true nature will be a result only of the death of this "I" or source of though, ego-delussion. Please kindly explain as I am very interested in ātma-vichār as I have misunderstood this first step for a long, long time. I must ackowledge of course the limitations of our langauge now and of the language that Bagwan used. Your attention to this matter will be greatly appreciated.

The path of gentleness is my take away and I thank you Bhagawan. I got several messages from my son concerning the political situation in the U. S this morning. My interest in this could have gone on for quite a while. However, this video popped up immediately, and it drew me in! It turned me around in such a gentle way😂 Thank you Michael❤

@bernhard1071you care more about politics than about the path. That fact you actually say "sleepy joe" is telling about how much you care about truth.

Just because you love God more than anything doesn't mean that you're going to be purged of all your inferior interests. You'll still love the things you don't love as much as God.

@bernhard1071 it's not supposed to take many life time's. If you truely cared, it would have happened. Salvation isn't going to happen in the future. In what way should an election deter your attention. In what way will that help a devotee. You thing you know a lot about Bhagavan's teachings. His teachings are simple. There is no complexity to them. It is simple; no one wants detatch themselves, to commit the ultimate suicide.
