A couple of these discussions ago there was a question about the importance of a Guru and a lineage, and I think I would like to add to that discussion if I may. You see, it’s not just about how well a teacher or scripture can point you to the truth, every lineage with a long chain of teachers has accumulated vast amounts of Shakti in that lineage. In these ancient lineages Shakti is transferred from student to disciple through Shaktipat, where the student can feel the power and teaching of the master even without words. So there is a non-verbal non-conceptual transmission from teacher to disciple that is deeper than words that is the result of accumulated Shakti within the lineage received by a student from an authentic teacher. Newer traditions lack that accumulated Shakti, of course it doesn’t mean it’s wrong to create a new tradition or innovate but it will probably lack that accumulated power.

You're referring to our first part of our roundtable. I think you make a good point none of us brought up (or I don't remember if we did, or it was just in passing): "every lineage with a long chain of teachers has accumulated vast amounts of Shakti in that lineage." Lineage matters. Or, a chain of teachers/gurus/etc of some form matters. I mentioned in these talks I had spent some time studying at the San Fran Zen Center, which was my first introduction to buddhism/zen outside of college religion classes and a few pot smoking hippies (LOL). I was introduced to teachers who had this lineage coming down from other teachers, in this case from Shunryi Suzuki Roshi who was tied to teachers in Japan going back to Buddha. It blew and boggled my mind, and fascinated me. I'd just spent about 3 years in the church world where anyone and everyone could be a preacher if they felt called. I knew ministers went to schools, but they didn't seem to lay any claim to lineage no more than my Bachelor of Arts gives me a connection to the founder of my college from 1893. I occasionally talk about this on my channel. "Newer traditions lack that accumulated Shakti, of course it doesn’t mean it’s wrong to create a new tradition or innovate but it will probably lack that accumulated power." Though, I do agree with this final statement of yours too. There are some teachers out there I would put in the top 1% who don't have a direct lineage, but they got something many who have a lineage may not have.

As Shiva mentioned, meditation is the path to ultimate liberation. This idea resonates with Viktor Frankl, a concentration camp survivor who became a renowned professor. Frankl emphasized finding meaning even in suffering, leading to inner freedom. Similarly, Rumi's poetry often explores the themes of inner peace and spiritual liberation through love and devotion. All these perspectives highlight that true freedom and liberation come from within, through mindfulness, purpose, and spiritual practice.

Team artem. If you really don’t like that he thinks he’s enlightened and you think he’s not, why do you defend Guruji? You can tell Guruji is immature in his viewpoint, mannerisms and attitude and what he says. Yes young people can become enlightened but Guruji is just a kid still because if he were enlightened, his enlightenment would guide his words actions and personality. Frank and artem are completely right when they say you shouldn’t idolize gurus or people, when they say we are just people essentially and not that we’re not unique and special, but at the same time everyone’s just a person, and still not special. I don’t know why you or anyone else is defending Guruji, cause he’s just immature in a lot of ways. Even if artem acted out, really all he did is make you two see who you really are. Jesus also got mad in the temple when hypocrites were running the temple. And artem is totally justified because of that

I don't actually defend Guruji and said that none of the panelists who claimed enlightenment are enlightened. Now, it is up to you how you view Guruji and I think he presented what he is to everyone just like every other participant including myself. Just to add that I did feel Artem was being condescending to Guruji. That is all. For someone who claims to be enlightened, he was rather immature about calling someone immature 'Guruji'! It is your opinion about it being right to not idolize guru or people but in the East, the Guru is given a lot of respect, to the point that it is the same as God because of the wisdom the guru gives. I don't expect a lot of people to understand this. Artem didn't make me see who I am. My Guru has already done that thank you! I wish you well on Team Artem!

@@TheBeardedMysticPodcast the Ten Commandments make it very clear to not worship people “idolatry”. Why is this even being said? Why do you wanna worship so bad lol. Just respect and love the guru. Also like I said. It seems like you’re just not listening to clear logic and are stubborn honestly. Jesus 3 times in the Bible basically did what Artems even doing, and artem didn’t even do much you seem to be blowing up what he did cause it’s not a big deal. Jesus “condescendingly” looked with anger at the Pharisees Mark 3:5…. Jesus got mad at the Pharisees because they were being hypocrites in the temple… in the book of revelation Jesus says he hates the people who call themselves spiritual “Jews” and are not.

Thanks so much for bringing so many briliant people together. I loved the story of Aaron where his friend said I am not going to church anymore. Loss of feeling and emotional connection reminds me of when Rumi also went through the same things and he said mecca is in your own heart. It is not a place that is wholly but the wholeness is within you.

I'm glad you liked my story. I'm not so familiar with Rumi, but great thoughts. The sad part of this story is my friend - who I worked with, rented a room from, talked to nearly every day or saw for many years cause he was my best friend, so I knew him well - is not so good when it comes to self-awareness. Horribly so. That is why I remember this event in our 20+ year friendship so well. Yet, today he still hasn't figured it out that its an issue with emotion. His thing is: I just need to read another book and then maybe ... maybe.

@@hinduismwithpremananddasbhagat Thank you for sharing more about your story. It's very insightful. It's interesting how our paths can diverge in terms of self-awareness and emotional connection, even among close friends. Rumi often emphasized the importance of looking within for understanding and fulfillment, rather than seeking it externally. I can relate to your experience. I also have a dear friend who seems lost and struggles to take proper action for his mental health. It's challenging to watch someone you care about not recognize the underlying issues and continue searching for answers in the wrong places. Sometimes, looking within is all that's needed, and you don't need to read another book. Your story shows this journey of inner exploration and the challenges that come with it. I hope your friend finds his way to deeper self-awareness someday. Thank you again.

@@DrMortezaChalak Learning to balance heart and head, bhakti and jnana, self-awareness and not caring, were probably some of the biggest hurdles I had to overcome in my life. (I'm 47 now, my friend is now 65-ish and he's no where near being self-aware ... sad, cause he's a musician, intellect, will literally give you the shirt off his back, artist, but almost all his friends now take him in small doses as his conversations haven't changed. Its sad.). I had someone once say to me she never met a human robot, cause I had no emotions surprisingly so for someone who read a ton of books and was an artist and musician. She wasn't right, but I tucked them away. I didn't want to be all "feelies" (and this was before that word was in vogue), but also didn't really want to face myself. I wasted a lot of time trying to be something I wasn't, someone that would impress others. Then I moved abroad and suddenly those folks I was trying to impress? 1000's of miles away and didn't matter. Wake up call! Self-awareness I talk a lot about on my channel. ....

A few impressions, always heartfelt: It’s not that we cultivate devotion IN our daily lives; we cultivate devotion AS our daily lives-in every movement of mind and body. We do so until the illusory self (and by extension, all other selves) leave no one to receive love and no one to give it. Everything is then seen clearly as an expression of the divine itself-One without other. 2. Until we see clearly, meaning personhood still “exists,” remembrance, as you say, is fundamental: we remember to stay only with what is real and not be carried away by the unreal. This requires effort-a willingness to stay centered in the heart and bring oneself back to inquiry each and every time we apparently depart. Liberation is possible but not probable for most. Self-realization is an enormous step in the direction of freedom yet in itself is only a recognition that we have falsely imprisoned ourselves. Freedom from all desire and all lamentation is rarely achieved. The path is not only difficult but extremely painful. That said, self-realization is already a very difficult recognition to achieve. Centered in the heart, we discover without doubt the path home. This may be enough for one lifetime! One observation about total devotion to scripture: absolutely no combination of thoughts is ever “The Truth.” All notions are false, and words are folly. There are many scriptures from many faiths. When we wed ourselves to one faith practice, we run the risk of pride, of attachment, to judgment and criticism. The master is ultimately indifferent. All scriptures are left behind. Yes, sink into the scriptures; they often represent the best that words can do. But then it’s time to see oneself AS scripture; and here lies total freedom. We must be very careful not to venerate lest we fall prey to dogmatism and nearsightedness. To kill the Buddha honors the Buddha. ❤🙏

Thank you Dave ji for your insights here. 1. Love your point about devotion as our daily life! Very nice! And i agree devotion is truly when there is no 'me' and no 'you'. This is supreme devotion. 2. Love this point about the remembrance. 3. Yes - for everyone who realizes their true self atleast intellectually will experience some peace for sure. This recognition is certainly important. But i may challenge the 'painful' aspect. This may not be the case for everyone. I definitely had to deal with pain but unless some situation arises in the moment, I don't really find that self-realization or knowing one is Brahman brings pain but in fact gives a joy like no other. A very intoxicating joy. But yes, whatever progress someone makes in a lifetime, is a blessing in itself. 4. I am with you on the total devotion to scripture and agree with every point of yours. Once you understand your true nature, that is the only scripture that remains. In fact, it is beyond sound and silence. Therefore, devotion is to the Truth. Not conceptually but as the living reality that only is. Again, thank you Dave ji!
