Please visit punjab acharya ji....Punjab is in dire need of you in this times

[@priyankaverma7068]

You are born to be liberated, you are not born to follow the commands of the body.🙏 ~Acharya ji🙏

[@joyetahazra2864]

Between the body and the consciousness all human beings prefer to be the consciousness.

[@sksuma8427]

"we have to rise above our physical nature", wow

[@joyetahazra2864]

What is good for the body, bad for consciousness is not acceptable. Fear is something that is good for your physical survival, fear is an evolutionary tool, fear helps you live a longer life but it is not good for your consciousness.

[@shriharichitnis1966]

Exactly

[@saikatroy9182]

Fear is good until we don't harm our fellow beings (humans as well as non-humans).....

[@sharmilachowdhary4582]

Greatly n thought provoking explanation . Pranam Acharyaji 🙇‍♀️

[@arunashankarkumar6462]

It's always satisfying to start the day with such videos which are good for consciousness. Amazing take off from fear!

[@akashgoswami7840]

Very lucid explanation 🙏🏻 Body is the medium to go higher ..we have to listen our consciousness not the body .

[@renusingh1043]

Lokesh asked a great Q ☺️☺️☺️ Consciousness is the big thing in front of body we r not like animal 🤗🤗

[@vinaygirigiri330]

The highest lesson of my life. It's only with your grace I could learn this. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@gurushanthaiahms2121]

Mind blowing

[@Surya-23]

"WHO AM I" the basic and fundamental question...🙏🙏🙏😊

[@sneha37931]

Tomorrow morning I've exam studied nothing left it for last night Going to follow what's good for my consciousness and study whole night. I will sleep after my exam will be over.

[@FoodTech4U]

Pranam Acharya ji 🙏

[@rachitpipraiya4915]

When every single cell of the body is begging to stop , it's the consciousness which says NO The body must listen & obey to the consciousness . Let the consciousness decide the purpose , and let the body be the vehicle & tool . By far the greatest revolutionary of India 💯

[@gurushanthaiahms2121]

You are not one but two. The body and the consciousness. Animalistic nature or prakriti serves the purpose of body.But you are more than the body which no other species is gifted with I,e consciousness. Evolutionary instinct of fear may help to preserve the body but is it of any worth to live a long life of fear,lust,comfort . Fulfilling bodily needs give you pleasure. Fulfilling needs of consciousness gives joy. Falling to your own body leads to pleasure. Commanding your body as a tool towards liberation leads to joy. Pleasure is momentary and there is a danger of creating stain on the mind where as joy is everlasting and does not create stain rather enhances your mind. For example David goggins strongest human on Earth talks about neuroplasticity of the brain when you keep extending your bodily limits. Come on guys let's fight this battle of body vs consciousness . We are destined to fight this. Victory may be elusive and difficult to attain, but battle is worth fighting!!!

[@anitastrend8535]

Glad to watch u everyday sir 😊

[@anilanilmahto4716]

Very good

[@joyetahazra2864]

We are not animals, so we should no do the stuff that prakriti designs us to do if that stuff lowers our consciousness.

[@joyetahazra2864]

The body of the human being as well as the body of the animal irrespective of whose body it is, the bodily needs are the same. So whatsoever is there as a bodily mechanism is something animalistic.

[@1234fazermann]

Waking up for the exam vs sleeping. I think both of these things are bodily desires/wants. Studying will only lead to financial security which ultimately leads to protecting/elongation of life. So what's the difference?

[@soniyag8684]

Right so we have to think first that weather we are waking up to make any difference in society or to help the mother earth or doing something above the body needs or for our intelligence and not for the sake of money n all then only it will make a difference else both are same bodily thing

[@socialawareness3997]

We are not animals ,remember that always

[@aa145ful]

We can' not allow our body to rule us...

[@Gamer_2048]

Am I the animal or the consciousness? One should always ask himself this.

[@aa145ful]

We are not animals ..we have " Chetana"

[@saikatroy9182]

Animals too have chetna like we humans.....difference is humans have more intelligence and have their hands free thereby making it possible to complete higher tasks.....

[@myrmidon8008]

Is IQ a part of consciousness or body? I am confused. Please someone clarify.

[@raakshas5547]

YES

[@abhishekthechoudhary]

IQ has been used in this explanation just to get a hang of things, to make it easier. Relatively characteristics of the face are related to the body, and IQ is relatively more realted to consciousness for an example. Kindly see the relative comparision between the two, not the absolute one. As far as facts are concerned acharjee has himself in one of the videos told that a certain configuration of matter/body is related to consciousness. That's why a living body has certain consciousness, and a dead one has lost that configuration and has lost consciousness. Again, see the relative comparision. Because the absolute consciousness is the one about which nothing can be said, nothing can be explained, the eyes cannot see, the senses cannot touch it.

[@arunashankarkumar6462]

Are you using your intelligence? Use it, so simple.

[@gurushanthaiahms2121]

IQ is intelligence quotient belongs to domain of body. My reasoning ;people having greater iq still live a medocre life due to procrastination but where as hardworking people even with less iq reach greater heights due to commitment to the goal. Higher iq may develop nuclear weapons where as lower iq may fight for peace . Consciousness and iq are two different things.

[@abhishekthechoudhary]

As an objective fact you are spot on true. However Acharya Ji has used the example in the context of giving importance to relatively conscious aspects of our being than the animal centre. For that he said 'What hurts u more, your face is ugly, or you are stupid' obviously the latter one ( for most of the people) So there's no point debating if IQ is physical characteristic or not. Acharya Ji has already pointed out in many videos about the wrong usage of IQ for destruction of the world.

[@pawantomar2162]

Who decided this, animal or consciousness??

[@abhishekthechoudhary]

Neither the animal, nor the consciousness, because the animal already satiates itself through means of survival and procreation. The absolute consciousness is already free! So ego which has attached itself to things here and there, that wants a permanence in satisfaction. That's elusive, that's being destroyed through Upanishads.

[@digital9028]

Of Animal, CHETAK was consciously conscious

[@kushal3801]

No animal has ever washed its face.

[@sumitss6lite286]

Hello sir, please stop creating more. Your already existing video list also needs to be revised. If I try to revise them, a new video pops out and I am bound to watch it. Many peopls might have faced this problem. Your videos are beyond any categories and it is required to make them organised.
