He is a PIMP! Yea, I understand that he was running a brothel in his ashram - yep, he was caught red handed in that he was frolickiing in bed with two women! yes, he has a mystical point of him the dirty bugger!

[lookmeyaar]

he is truley inspiring....hari ome

[Unh0lymystic]

Do any of your people realize that this guy has been brought up on charges of molestation? He has been put in Jail because of this...

All these things he speaks of are regurgitated ideas and formulations by old Indian masters (Rishi's)

Stop being so blind to Swami's PEOPLE! Do some research. There are plenty of Great masters in India, unfortunately this guy is not one of them.

He is a charlatan!

[snoo333]

@Unh0lymystic this may be the truth that you are speaking, unfortunately, even the when the worst person in the world speaks of universal truths, it rings true in the hearts people.

people have to realize that all is in you. the reason you understand this is because none of us is higher than others in understanding the universe inside.

I feel sorry for this man if he used his spiritual powers for sex. BEWARE, when guru's of any kind tell you that you cant make it without them.

if we only have just one corupted brain in the usa government we would be fine,,,lol

[threetunes]

how to bring the thoughts down to zero? thoughts comes without one wanting! -- moments of danger, sex, Death of loves ones shock the mind to a point of thoughtlessness; but only temporary; If they are to last, one need to reach the present state consciously; science of tantra, zazen, yoga is of importance I believe; Thought created this restlessness and that knowledge acts as a shock absorber; obviously awareness is key - but what is it?

[ykinkin]

@threetunes :

Efforts 2 bring down thoughts 2 Zero level is like Dog trying 2 catch own tail.

or Man running away from his own shadow.

Thoughts r 2 b observed in detached way, so that slowly it will settle down 2 Zero level. And u need thoughts 4 your daily life, living, loving and laughing. Do not be averse to thouts in daily life. Let your self fully attend to thoughts as the life situation demands.

U learn 2 sit in meditation n watch thoughts come n go. slwly learn to let go thoughts.

[vasant85]

haha, he made us realize that the key to enlightenment is "sex".

[quantum1field]

Is there more after part 2? Where can I find the entire program?  What is the name of the DVD?

[prajnama]

this is from the Atma Spurana Program (ATSP) which Swamiji conducted on His world tour 2007. He will conduct it in the Inner Awakening Program as one of the workshops upcoming in December. You can also order the book, 'Follow Me IN!' from the lifeblissgalleriadotcom, which is taken from one of the ATSP workshops He conducted.

[iamforumm]

thanks ^ ^

[netelsg]

No, I'm an Engineer but now not working.

Do you understand what I've explained?

Are you the speaker of this video?

[netelsg]

The seeing and manifestations are one. All is Buddha Nature. Seeing a flower and the manifestation of the flower by the buddha nature are one (your buddha nature). The hearing and the sound you hear are also your buddha nature.

[netelsg]

Below is a zen koan by enlightened master.

Before I practise Zen, I saw mountains as mountains, and water as water.

When I arrived at a more intimate knowledge, I came to the point where I saw that mountains are not mountains, and water are not water.

But now that I have got its very substance I am at rest. For it's just that I see mountains once again as mountains, and water once again as water.

Anyone has any view?

[Pranananda]

before practise he saw moountains through the mind, according to his definition.

then he came to know, that all mind creation is maya- illusion, and that it only exists in mind.

after enlightenment, after coming to zero tps, he finally sees the world as it is, not through mind.

before he saw the mountains according to his mind definition, after enlightenment he sees the mountains as they are, without mind interferring.

om shanti.

Statement #1 is referring to what normal people (unenlightened) is seeing when they are looking at FORMS. FORMS are objects that have appearance, like mountain, trees, birds, cloud, cars, rivers, buidlings, etc... Human in samsara has attachment to forms, thus they see FORM as FORM, mountain as mountain, water as water.

[netelsg]

Statement #2 is when someone has understood the true nature of all phenomena and dharma as "emptiness". Mountain is seen as mountain from afar, but when one walk up on the mountain, mountain is just accumulation of sands, stones, rocks, mud, grass, etc... When all these sands, stones, rocks, muds, grass, etc are removed, there is no such thing as mountain.

Thus, with true understanding of form and emptiness, one sees mountains as not mountains, waters as not waters.

[netelsg]

2nd stage is a stage where one has no attachment to form. i.e. seeing things as it is without deluded thoughts. Seeing things at the present moment. This stage is still not enlightenment.

[Pranananda]

then what stage is enlightenment? according to you...

[netelsg]

The last stage is enlightenment.

This last statement is when one has realised, enlightened or awakened to one's self nature.

He will discover that all mountains, water, clouds, birds, cars, trees, flowers that he sees are just manifestation of his Buddha Nature. Therefore he'll "see mountains as mountains, and waters as waters".

[Pranananda]

thank you. do you see the world like this?

[netelsg]

Yes, everything I see is manifested by my Buddha Nature. Everything is ONE (buddha nature). If you see everything as one, then it is enlightenment.

[Pranananda]

but who is seeing all this? is there a separate watcher watching the oneness? then still there is separation and not oneness... please explain. thank you.

[netelsg]

Everything that you see right in front of you is manifested by your buddha nature. Because it is not your eye that see. Your eye is like the optical lens of a digital video camera while your buddha nature is like the Display Screen of the DVC. Can you understand ?

[Pranananda]

yes, thank you very much.

are you a teacher?

[freedombeyon]

Something so simple as stopping,doing nothing, can be so hard. This is a wonderful talk. I love it.
