Yoga Vasistha – Creation – No. 256

Recorded on 3rd January 2026 with worldwide participants

0:00 Intro
0:11 When grace meets maturity of discrimination then dispassion is generated within the heart.
1:18 The relation between non-dual point of view of the Self – everything is within the Self, and how the mind has started creation with thoughts.
4:15 Why has creation happened?
6:56 Why is it almost impossible to achieve Self-Realization if this creation is just a play of the Self?
11:49 Simply denying the notion of ‘I’ does not mean that it gets destroyed.
14:02 How can the Creator come into an apparent relative existence to create and what is the relationship between karma and death?
17:09 This Creation’s nature is thought, it doesn’t have any materiality.
20:34 What is the trigger point for the Consciousness to start creating at the beginning of everything?
22:18 The Creator was never created but is the creator of everything.
24:30 Shakti is the reality of all inevitable events in the future. What is the role of our efforts in relation to the nature we carry due to this Shakti?
26:35 The creation in the mind is an agitation in the consciousness. How can we prevent that agitation to go on and on, how can we diminish it with our consciousness?
34:04 If the agitation in the consciousness stops us to know who we are, what is the meaning of doing anything in this world that is not related to achieve this?
45:12 Is this state of no-mind and being Self-Realized the same thing, and what does that look like in Bhakti Yoga?
47:55 What is the similarity and difference between Jangama Dhayan and Trataka?
48:52 When all vasanas are dropped, how then is creation perceived as the external world?
49:52 Does Babaji’s experience during Tapas align with scriptural descriptions of cosmic creation?
50:38 How to use intelligence power of discrimination in such a way that it does not bind to ego and judging others, but simply to transcend the unreal and awaken to the real Self?
52:53 Experiences within a dream of being aware that one is dreaming.
