I'm not aware of being aware of anything...absence or otherwise. This sounds like a play on words to me.But I fail to see how awareness of NOthing can be considered superior to awareness of bliss.Otherwise enlightenment be no more than sleep....or the conceousness of a stone for that matter.I cant feel much love for that prospect

@@randybackgammon890 I am sorry...I dont want to be rude but I find hard to explain on you tube all the questions you seem to have because I would have to start from the very beginning-you need to start with the basic which you seem to totally ignore.

@@bildencarlia6924 well your entitled to your opinion as much as I am. But I still stand by every word of that entry. The literal meaning of nirvana is extinction(sic)....not exactly a mouth watering prospect to top many lifetimes of struggle.I want to to be disireless because I,m satisfied with the ultimate eternal sweetness(if such exists). Not because I've murdered my appetites for everything

@@randybackgammon890 You nailed it. Calling Awareness of Nothingness as Enlightenment is akin to saying zero and infinity are one and the same ! or better still, it is like saying that ignorance and ultimate knowledge are one and the same thing. This "awareness of nothingness" theory is plain hocus pocus play on words for the consumption of the gullible. Sheer nonsense.

@@randybackgammon890 I’m trying to figure this out just like you but let me try to address your concern. It seems to be less about whether ‘nothing’ is superior to ‘bliss’ but more about discovering your true nature. The Absolute Truth. Your True Self.

Try that for a day... Most wounderful experience that i ever had. !!!!

Hahaha will not work man . Enhance your inner experience . Give him respect and try what papa Ji says . Don’t do bullshit of hahaha

@@rakeshmadan8907 do you call happiness bullshit? I am happy for what he says is so true...it is respect.🙏 You might feel more respect yourself for calling it bullshit to an old woman.. It is not up to you whether I laugh or not. 😷

Yes blessed you are you are awareness

@@takelsdi8931 🌺🌹🍀

Can anbody explain me what is the difference between emptiness nd consciousness ?

@@vijayalakshmimahalingam9335 😄

Papaji satsang will give you answer

But you couldn't exist as a you if it was non existance....think about it

Yes but that is the opposite:)

You can not arrive at understanding this through thought, ...and it is done through Grace.

It's not simple ,mate. If it were everybody would have awakened .

I agree.Maybe only obvious to an awakened person.It seems though the only barriers to awakening is that it's so simple. I think that's why so few get it/have got it. If we continue to think there is anything to get we will never get it,because it's self evident. We are it.

I know right

You don't have to like anyone....if you don't that is

I do not. I think he was a charlatan.

@@josephoutward From what Ive seen I find him creepy.But I could be misjudging it

Yes it's soooo subtle

I dont see it that way. I dont have anything but a gap in my memory a blank spot during deep sleep. Nothing else. Nothing magical. And as the body and brain wake up your consciousness comes back online so to speak. And the first thing the consciousness does when waking from sleep is to take in all it can to assess risk. Simple and beautiful. No need of some god or eternal state of being nonsense. No offense.

@@josephoutward Joseph, papaji has explained very clearly in this video about our true self. The very knowledge of absence of absolutely everything in the sleep even after you wake up, during your waking state, proves that you were not completely unaware. I get it if you find it hard to understand, because my family too doesn't understand this thing even after I tried explaining several times & I think this might be because of the reason that one needs to contemplate very deeply so as to understand this. I too understood this after watching hundreds of videos, reading several books & definitely after spending several hours contemplating over it. Every realised master says the same thing but in their own different & unique way, using different words. So if you are not understanding the way papaji is explaining then watch videos of others, you might understand more clearly the explanation of some other master. This has happened with me, hence I suggest. And Joseph I did not mention anything about God in my above comment as you are assuming. Also you appear to have misunderstood when you say the consciousness comes back online after body wakes up, that means the consciousness is the product of the body, which is not true. Consciousness is not the product of the body. Infact, the body is the manifestation of the consciousness.

@@josephoutward exactly! A blank spot of no time, space, or time was seen.

🙏

@@pratapagadi7219 If consciousness is not a function of the body then how can one become unconscious when an injection of anesthesia is given to the body ? The declaration that "consciousness is not a product of the body" is more a statement of faith and belief than factual experience. The feeling that one slept well in deep sleep, is not memory of an experience of blissful emptiness but instead is an inference that comes due to the feeling of freshness and wellness that one experiences upon waking up. A physical body can exist without consciousness. Why not ? If Consciousness is defined as the ability to experience perception, sensations and thoughts, which it truly is, then consciousness does not exist in deep sleep. Why can consciousness not be a particular state of the physical body ? We can very well say that Deep Sleep (Shushupti) is that state when the physical body exists and keeps working without producing the inner subjective sensation of an ego or "I". When it switches to the Jagrut state, the ego or I returns and starts drawing inferences on its existence in deep sleep when it actually did not exist. What is wrong in that view of things ? That view is much more truthful fact of experience than the imagining that consciousness is some super state which exists even in deep sleep and we fail to recognise it as such !

You are god

@@midhunthomas7365What a cocept

okkad 9 of course he did. He told there is no-thing. No Space, no time, no person, no concept, no thinking. What do your mind want to get here? There is no-thing to get 😄 You cannot put it in words, when there are no things. But you can somehow feel it, be it.

@@sTeVe-vl3nh Intellectually, we can only assume we are the same seer of the bundle of memories and body than when we went to sleep and we have no problems with it, we don't suspect we have been exchanged over night. Therefor, we can only extrapolate or conclude we are equal to any consciousness living with us and thus before or after us or when time is no more. The consciousness over there has different memories and a different view and body, but that's about it. Nothing else is ever different. For me, the key here was that whatever brings unhappiness is somehow linked to an object, be it physical or in memory, while just being in deep sleep or seeing who we really are leaves us happy. And then the loving ways of Papaji... makes me happy too.

Andreas Delleske perhaps we can say, that every thing is linked with a feeling of unfullfillment. Because if there is a thing to observe, there must be an observer. And that observer is the seperation. He always seeks completing his lack of fullfillment, he wants to get whole. But of course he never can get fullfilled. Because he is already wholeness and his separation was the dream. So when he is dissolved in emptiness, what means, he doesn‘t exist anymore, then „he“ would be in peace. That’s the whole illusion, that there is someone. There already is no one, no-thing, appearing as persons, chairs, everything. There will never be an enlightend person. I know you know it already, but i like to hear me blabla 😅

@@sTeVe-vl3nh > every thing is linked with a feeling of unfullfillment. Hm. You may mean, I attach every thing with a feeling of unfulfillment? Observe a tree: Is there a feeling of unfulfillment? I would say no, I would say it is possible to observe "by immersion", while not carving objects out of anything. We can even observe the observing and then let it go, still we will not fall blind, you know?

Andreas Delleske yes my formulation was unfortunate. I just meant separation. If there is a subject/object relation. Watching a tree, hearing the birds and breathing the air is kind of loosing myself in wholeness, what is very satisfying. My question is: to whom? 🤔
