I love listening to Rupert =) He has such a gentle and intelligent way about him, and a lovely voice. Its very relaxing.

Meditation is what you are not what you do.👌

[@GeertMeertens]

The person is not what you are. It is something you do.

[@georgeduwors3803]

After two years of working through the transparency of things, treating it as an experiential workbook, I am so grateful for Rupert’s understanding and clarity. What I don’t get is why he feels the need to mock walking meditation. It is a practical tool for bringing attention in alignment with present moment body sensation. The person gets to directly experience some of what Rupert is talking about. And there is ample research documenting the benefits.

[@robmaric]

Sometimes teachers like to have a little cheeky dig at other methods only to make a point - which I'd say in this case is to express that it's important to not make spiritual enquiry a grim duty. Rupert personally finds the idea of being amongst nature and turning that into a mechanical practice unpalatable and is making his point that spiritual enquiry can be a beautiful embrace of life and nature around you. So I'd say take such a response from Rupert with a grain of salt. It's a very Rupert-flavoured response, embedded with his perspective which we've come here to listen to. Rupert has admitted that he sometimes encourages traditional medication practices for certain people. Rupert would also be the first to acknowledge that Ramana Maharshi is a far greater authority on the matter, and he certainly recommended such practices for some people who found their minds too unsteady to practice self-enquiry. Also, you may simply find you are drawn to mindfulness practice - that's also fine. Rupert would no doubt be the first to encourage you to go with the path you are attracted to. He frequently acknowledges the validity of the 'progressive' path (as opposed to only his own preferred 'direct' path).

[@cinmac3]

Robert understands meditation is not what you do or what you do not do, if anyone thinks, mediates is better thinking about your issues all the time. I would like to not be there.

[@schoolofmasteryformindfull1417]

I’m trying to get to that place where there is no irritation arising in me, no reification projected onto another. The suggestion seems to be, when my messages are free of any contrived expectations.

[@krissyramsey3934]

Thank you brother for asking these questions. They are very important ones. Thank you Rupert as always for giving wonderful answers. The book name Rupert was struggling to pronounce is Guru Vachaka Kovai . I would recommend one more book and that is Maharshi’s Gospel. This is book is about Shri Ramana answering very important questions. It clears lots of confusion we have during our spiritual journey. Thank you everyone.

@@rheasnehmoy David Godman a very good interviewer. He interviewed Papaji cleverly which is great to listen and will clear your doubts.

[@rheasnehmoy]

@@anbukkarasimanoharan775 yes you are right. He is an excellent story teller too. When I listen to him or read him it just takes me back in those times. He has done excellent work by bringing all those stories from times of Shri Ramana , Shri Nisargadatta ani Shri Papaji. Hope you have watched his most recent interview. It’s too good. It has all the essence of Shri Bhagwan’s teaching. It’s on his KZbin channel. Thank you friend for reaching out. Take care.

[@yourreflection7590]

i just find nothing beats resting in self, i still be around people but i hardly speak, every relationship seems to small and insignificant and nothing as true love as what i found in myself. So i just sit peacefully and nod, everytime some one wants to drag something out of me, that isn't a question or call for help, i feel uncomfortable to say the least but all is okay

[@GeertMeertens]

That sounds like an escape or retreat, resting in self. Resting in Self, there would be no others. Like looking back on a dream.

[@yourreflection7590]

@@GeertMeertens i love it this way

[@cwilkinsonwck]

I think maybe an important part that a lot of people don't realize is in thinking there are four parts namely thinking, visualization, awareness, and intention or attention. Most of the time we are jumping all around in thinking or imagination. Rarely are most people in awareness state, or know how to get there, or to get into natural resonance instead or intentionally regulation.

[@kellyalamanou5185]

As Nisargadatta has already been mentioned, i would like to suggest an amazing book different from others spiritual classics. "More than allegory" by Bernardo Kastrup On Religious Myth, Truth And Belief. Non-duality, explained from an other ,extremely interesting vantage point!

to be awaken is to be aware of what u are doing, meditation is to practice to hold on to the awareness indefinitely, don't give attention to the world but be aware of the world and don't response to it

@Dean Mitchell Bro rupert is just recycling what Advaita teachers have recycled for last 1200 years...there's nothing new. He belives in Advaita Vedanta. Yes JK is complicated, he was blunt and said the truth as it is. It may be hard but taht is the correct path. This Guru business in India has spread across North America too. You don't need no guru for self realisation.

[@Raj0520]

@@ordinaryguy815 belives in a lot of things. He follows a philosophy that's Advaita Vedanta. All his anologies are just logical fallacies which force you to see things in a different way. He is still a great teacher no doubt abt that...but till the time u realise that there is more than this.
