Namaskar Dada and thank you so much for your lectures. My question might sound silly, but is there any way that I could get personal guidance by a yogi mentor given the fact that I am located in Greece? Spasiba balsoi 🙏

Thanks for your interest, Vijay!

Thank you, Abhi

Indeed, it is an interesting phenomenon. And the moment we know that what we perceive is our imagination we acquire power over that imagination.

Thank you for your suggestion, Austin.

Let us meditate now and use this attraction to come closer to our inner self :)

We will be very happy to have you as our guest

Wonderful

Thank you, I will

Cristóbal Ramírez he is so smart and humble!

Thank you, Cristobal.

Glad it was helpful!

Thank you, Martha

Thank you, Madhuri. The best way to start is with the basic lesson of meditation at meditationsteps.org, and after 3-6 months it is good to receive a personal lesson of meditation as it will work on all the layers of the mind.

@@MeditationSteps Thank you

Glad it was helpful!

Happy, you are with us!

Namaskar, Shivakumar

Very soon

Thanks for sharing

Today did the first portion, there will be two classes on the topic

I can, but for that, we have to meet in person. The transmission of the technique is not only intellectual, but it is also energy, and for that need an offline meeting of the teacher and student. There are many teachers of the same path around the world, and I can recommend someone near your location. It is good to prepare yourself by scoring 100 hours of meditation with the basic technique, it is good to complete the basic course of meditation also. You can get if for free at meditationsteps.org

Thanks a lot

My secrecy vows would not allow me to do so. You will have to personally come in touch with an acarya to learn it.

I would recommend your girlfriend at this moment to only do dynamic form of meditation called kiirtana (lesson about lalita marmika) and also read spiritual book, perhaps listen to the lectures. This is a certain nod in the karma, it will take some time to be released, for now she needs just to slowly get accustomed to the spiritual atmosphere. Just 5-10 minutes a day is enough.

@@MeditationSteps Thank you my friend and dada. I will update her progress. Much love!

Thank you, Geeta. When I learned myself, I was also very much fascinated to see that these techniques are used in every spiritual path and tradition, though with different names. It gave an idea that actually, in essence, the spiritual path is one, reflected with a different degree of clarity.

When the mind becomes calm, it becomes easy to sit, when you get concentrated, then the brain also secretes chemicals that remove the pain from the body and remove tiredness.

It is a common experience, the nervous system is getting adjusted to new energy, you might experience unusual things in your meditation for sometime until the nerves find their adjustment with the new flow.

You have to strive to keep the ideation in your head during mantra pronunciation.

We will soon open an entire channel with Arabic voiceover

I would suggest the Elementary Philosophy book by Shrii Shrii Anandamurti. The absolute reality is only one, but relative truths are many. What we perceive is a relative truth for us, a bird may have a totally different picture and it will be a relative truth for that bird. Definitely, by altering the state of our mind, we are changing our reality. I see the cloudy sky and I feel sad, is this sadness not real? It is real for me. I see the cloudy sky and say, what a fine and mild whether. Is this soothing feeling also not real? Yes, it is real for me, therefore it is my reality, this is the point.

@@MeditationSteps As You are writing, it is called relative *truth* in the Elementary Philosophy. Truth and reality are not the same, just like energy and mind or consciousness are not the same. To be precise is to use the right words and not mix them up. As Shakespeare already noted: "Truth and beauty are in the eye of the onlooker." So, opinion on what is a truth and who is beautiful is a personal matter. But reality in one. If I describe a matter in physics and mix up charge and capacity I will surely get my calculations wrong and misinform my readers. Truth and reality are fundamentally different like input and output are. They are not even similar. The reality is my input and what I make of it in my mind is my relative truth. It is a difference like fact and fiction is. The mentioned cloudy sky is the outer reality, whereas cloudy is already a relative term and a matter of opinion. and sky connotes, that You are on the surface of a planet and not looking down to the clouds from outer space. In a matter of a chain of action & reaction, by processing the perception of the visible covering of the "sky" by clouds, the individual creates a further internal mental chain-reaction which could lead to the mood of sadness. Here sadness is neither a reality not a truth. It is a mood. The fact is, that the person changes his or her mood according to his or her individual and momentary way of possessing inputs. The relation between the condition of the cloud cover and the emotional condition of that individual is quite far, even though cause and reaction may appear apparently instantly. But this only speaks for the processing speed of the mind and not for input and outcome to be the same thing. Very fast and automated responses are often mistakenly taken for the result of fixed and unchangeable rules rather than processes for which one bears responsibility and has actual influence on the outcome. At times the cognitive confusion is so severe that one holds input and output for the very same thing, actually making the input the only thing responsible and denying ones own responsibility for the output. It is this kind of serious mistake that is responsible for most destructive behaviours and all the negativity in the world. therefore, to make this clear distinction is imperative for human progress. There is also a difference between believing, liking or enjoying a talk and understanding a matter. This makes the difference between follower and learner. Just like the difference between religion or faith and spirituality or science. All those differences are not gradual or marginal but fundamental.

@@Manorainjan If you check in the dictionary, you will find that the word "reality" signifies: the real world, real life, actuality, truth, physical existence

@@MeditationSteps "the dictionary"? Which dictionary? Not that I would want to imply that just any modern internet dictionary should be used to define anything in a discussion about matters of Ananda Marga spiritual philosophy. But if You are to cite a dictionary, it should be a good one: www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/reality "1 : the quality or state of being real 2a(1) : a real event, entity, or state of affairs. (2) : the totality of real things and events 2b : something that is neither derivative nor dependent but exists necessarily" However, in our Elementary Philosophy the difference between reality and truth - as You already cited it - is clearly made. That is already clarified. The remaining question here is, if You are able to learn or if the Satripu pride is in Your way?

ManorainjanDE dude.... really? 😂
