Self-Realisation – Q&A, No.233

Recorded on 14 October 2023 with worldwide participants

0:00 Intro
0:08 What is the achievement of Self-Realisation?
5:37 The Self as the permanent thing which does not change.
7:53 Is it right that the droplet has got involved in the imaginations, but the Self has not got involved?
9:54 Is there an awareness of ‘I’ when the droplet merges with the ocean of the Self?
17:08 In everyday life should we be careful not to be attached to things in the world?
19:14 When a Yogi’s body moves in the world does it simply happen mechanically?
28:30 Where does the yearning to go on the spiritual path and achieve Self-Realisation come from?
36:03 Babaji’s devotion to Swamiji wiped out all other desires and made the mind quiet?
36:40 The meditation practice to ‘just watch’ is so you can be quiet and become aware of your true nature?
38:05 Is each individual body a droplet, or is the whole universe a droplet?
38:36 The line ‘Bhoota Pisaacha Nikata Nahi Aawai’ from Hanuman Chalisa.
39:14 How to motivate a younger sister to meditate.
39:34 How does a small mind caught up with ego change when Self-Realisation is achieved?
42:40 How can a family person cultivate a yearning to spirituality?
44:06 Can we chant a mantra within our mind during daily chores?
44:26 Contentment not coming in meditation and the feeling that everything is pointless and without purpose in life.
46:47 Are we getting actual glimpses of Self-Realisation when we experience bliss in meditation?
48:10 Are these glimpses useful for us?
48:36 On the way to Self-Realisation, when peace replaces misery and they can accept everything but they still have ego, what does such a being experience?
49:49 In meditation there is stillness and silence, but the yearning or emotion is not there. Am I on the right track?
