0:00 Intro from Babaji
0:56 What does the word purushartha mean?
3:34 How do we put in efforts to know Oneself? What is the process?
14:37 If there is a single thought within the mind does that mean we still need to put in efforts until eventually the mind is purified of all imaginations?
19:09 Some people might think that spirituality is something mystical where a power descends on us and we can immediately achieve Self Realization. Does it happen like this?
32:06 If the guru is not physically there to scold you, how do we catch that grace? Is it through faith?
36:10 Does daily meditation help us to not get too involved into the world?
41:11 Can we use the mind to create our reality through imagination, or does everything just naturally unfold and we should simply let go and remain a witness to what is happening?
42:24 If destiny is acting against us, how to exercise purushartha?
45:04 If we want something to happen a certain way, we pray to the Divine or the Guru – is that ok, or should we accept whatever happens?
46:03 While meditating do we need to stick our mind to god’s name or chant god’s name?
47:50 Shravana, manana and nididhyasana
48:27 Outside of meditation, we can analyse?
48:48 Is worshipping with form easier than worshipping without form?
49:42 Ultimately do you have to give up the form?
51:47 Can purushartha lead to a better destiny?
52:14 Does the word Niyati, as used in the Yoga Vasistha, mean destiny?
53:05 We have to put in purushartha to achieve Self Realization, but at a certain point we need to have acceptance that it has not happened yet?
53:49 When doing purushartha, I notice things come up in life with more intensity, stress and pressure becomes worse. How to stay motivated and inspired to continue?
56:50 When I am quiet internally, how to have discernment on how to respond to things externally?
57:58 Why does good and bad exist when the Divinity does not have discrimination and is all-pervading?
59:34 How has the identity of the mind happened?
1:00:49 Does the mind have a unique identity after the body dies or does it merge with the consciousness?
1:01:57 Does the mind with vasanas have an identity?
1:02:47 When my family go to wedding parties, my meditation routine gets disturbed – how to deal with this?
