Simple hermit: Vegetarianism, celibacy, etc...

[laughter644]

Um, the twitches and facial expressions are actually signs of a totally sane person. If everyone were in fact sane, that is were in fact in touch with themselves, they would have these kinds of facial expressions. They are beautiful.

[chrononator344]

All of you people are so funny, trying so hard to figure out what is going on in the video, his facial expressions, if he is on drugs, or whether or not hes insane. It only speaks to the amount of fear that it is in your heart, why can't you be satisfied with a beautiful teaching the universe has had the grace to present you with? I guess you're all just so caught up in your own drama, its sad

[duckotaco]

Another hippie poser fag. More evilish than anything divine, the smile and eye contact make it clear to those who aren't easily impressed.

[duckotaco]

WTF are the twitches and out of place smiles. Drugs? Schizophrenia? Lies?

I agree about following your own body, but there is something called discipline and acquired taste, too. One should find a balance bewteen the two. Sometimes restriction 'a 'la Gandhi IS good. Otherwise Gandhi would have not practised it.

[PowerInSolitude]

I can think of nothing nobler than a chaste and sensitive individual who acknowledges that chastity and sensitiveness are not for everyone. I'm a little sad after watching this video; I feel as if I just met the best campfire talk companion I'm never going to have. Whatever you're doing now, I hope it's blissful.

[joelnarbaez]

i respect u and i have to disagree with you on eating meat. i dont think that you can become a spiritual person and kill animals or allow them to be killed. Brother i am a hispanic male in the bible belt. i am the only vegetarian in may family if i can u have no excuse not to. eating meat is giving into killing that is the danger. dont make the mistake that thinking it will be easy. u seem to just say to give into your desires.why not exercise your higher facalties and expand your mind not ur..

[tubeyou9878]

when you are alone you see the back end of a deer you might get thoughts. Priests they claim are suposed to be celibate. The beautiful woman confesses her vaginas throbs because her husband does not perform oral sex on her and his penis is small. The Priest reaches down and grabs his massive manhood which at this point is throbbing. If he can hold back from giving this woman the pleasure she desires, then he has willpower more than a crack addict turning down crack.

[duncstuful]

I love you, buddy. I think you should send some cover shots and resume to the Ford agency in NY-you could do a couple of shows on the runway during Fashion Week and fund a year in Nepal from just 20-30 hrs. work. You have the presence and looks-use them.

[xxemir89xx]

this man speaks the truth

[AnnastezhaaMC]

I agree with most of this. However, When one looks deeply, it becomes clear that a genuine compassion and desire to help others is natural. A diet and lifestyle that is not based upon the torture, enslavement and murder of COUNTLESS Non-humans is one that fulfills this natural compassion. people become TOO concerned with their OWN interests in being themselves, they do not stop just to think about the unthinkable pain and suffering they are causing by not following a vegan diet.

[effekt59]

Wonderful thoughts, this is so true!

[jKRAMER001]

this is so true, everyone has an entirely different experience within the ONE, so naturally everyone has entirely different paths to self realization. what works for one person may not work for others. thanks

[Sterlacea]

if you follow your natural instinct, you will regress to your natural state, the animalistic cave man.....this is not enlightenment

[jKRAMER001]

@Sterlacea enlightenment IS our natural state

[GG74K]

Seek yourself, i am here right now, this moment i exist...what in the hell do i need to seek myself for...you people could complicate a cup of coffee, just more mind crap.

[1543fiitl]

Vegetarianism is not some to practice, it is the decision one makes because one is aware of the suffering of all sentient beings. If you really took refuge in the wild, and to attain enlightenment, you would not mutter false words which you've no experience of and claim all right being wrong. Mediocre words parish when one is fully realized with cognition and logics. I'm a VEGAN because each year about 60 Billions animals are slaughtered for your greet and hunger, I' deeply saddened by your idea

[OloKipZee]

@1543fiitl you can be aware of the unnecessary suffering of animals and respect that, but also be an omnivore. If you consume an excess amount of meat, then you are doing something wrong, but if you are not consuming ENOUGH meat for your unique body, then you are also doing something wrong. Respect must be paid to the animals that are killed for consumption. Animals kill other animals for food, for survival. If someone can survive without meat, then great! But if they can't, then don't judge.

[SubconsciousDweller]

great message brother! much light and love to You!!

[thepraying]

that's the whole purpose of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, changing from with in.

[stormiphoto]

I think it matters more , not what people are doing, but WHY they are doing it . yes yes yes, what ever you eat or do , if you LOVE IT, it will be like food for the enitre being, body mind and spirit. if you eat something and be thinking , this is bad for me while you eat it or do it, then it will be. i am celibate for ten years now,i move this energy through a higher level with in me and focus this desire toward spiritual things, its ALL ENERGY, we can shift it and not be controled by it

[easeglider]

No celibacy.... Hmmmmm..... Then come to mama cute guy. Haven't I seen you in a Ralph Lauren ad? Cute people can do anything and get by with whatever they want. Oh Boy!

[swamisnyc]

This is the standard "delusional" modern adviata advice. Oh, I'm beyond do's and don'ts, I just do want what happens naturally....what a crock. What if you "feel" like eating twenty pizzas or doing herion. Fine. go right ahead. Dude, stop posting videos, you are just a nice half baked psuedo yogi...

[Zarat818]

@OdeToNecrophilia Haha you missed the point, staring at the background. this guys talking true spiritualism.

[Zarat818]

@OdeToNecrophilia yes you miss the point completely. Because you are looking for a mistake or something to show your Awareness. But you are blind to the actual meaning of this video. Just staring at the background and not listening to the words coming out of his mouth.

[Zarat818]

@OdeToNecrophilia its simple, enjoy your life, and don't let others tell you whats right and wrong. you wana eat meat eat meat. you wana have sex have sex, of course that is as long as you don't hurt others in the process of your enjoyment. because people who are repressed have many issues. People that are free are happy. thats pretty much the message.

[AllahConsciousness]

Celibacy, fasting, meditation and prayer only serves a purpose when the individual is ready to transition to such levels of consciousness. It is irrelevant when the illusory byproducts of duality decide to let go of the duality, because whenever that is, every conscious state must inherently be part of an infinite percentage of an infinite, cyclical, conscious continuum. My hypothesis is that there is only the illusion of evolution within the static over-continuum of Singularity.

[momskid]

yes, you cannot rip an onion skin off. Sri Sri Ravi Shankar once said, " celibacy is a happening."

in other words, when you have eaten the whole pizza, you are no longer hungry. the hunger is gone. it just "happened"

[bijosn]

I dissagree somewhat, outward activities affect the inner and vice versa. Eating a diet rich in meat does affect you differently from a prolonged vegetarian diet. Also forcing yourself to not engage in sex or masturbation for a while diminishes the need for it after a while. Its about dopamine and neuroplasticity. If you want to weaken a vehement drive\vice abstaining from it for a while is a way to weaken and controll it.

[zezt]

ALL nature become erotic! ;)

[MrXSpeaks]

As a side note I would say that a person can be a vegetarian without being a VEGAN. Vegan is "I will be more extreme than you, therefore I am better than you" and as such it turns a positive into a negative.

[MrXSpeaks]

I have quit or reduced many vices and I no longer eat meat. However if a person is self righteous or judgemental about it then they have completely missed the point, and they will not get the full benefits.

What is worse, their negative energy will deter some other people from following the clean path.

[ThatOneNamlessGuy]

Great hermit advice jesus XD

[madcyborg]

Thats deep

It takes me 5 joints to get that philosophical..

[Fr3aK11812]

i think im in lovee

[carlwal01]

thank you 4 your advice jesus when did you come back :) lol

[Plutozium]

natural is not necessarily good. death is natural. heroin is natural. cockroaches are natural. the kingdom of heaven is within, it's not without. "that energy", that you keep inside, and then manifested in different ways... that's called sublimation. the whole point of spiritual practice.

[thewayoutisin]

You look so calm and peaceful in the video. Good job.

[FeatherRay]

True message! Many people fight with or deny their desires & in doing so, ignore the lesson that desire is trying to teach..Be gentle & kind to yourself & listen, just listen.

You have echoed my thoughts perfectly :)

Thanks for posting

[computermaster]

celibacy is important in the spiritual life, if you are masturbating quite a bit you can't attain self realisation.

[kapohn]

@computermaster with love, speak for yourself

[JNathanK2011]

@computermaster Yah, the modern assumption that excessive masturbation is good, simply because of one over-published study about how older men who masturbate less have lower prostate cancer rates, is potentially dangerous, as it undermines thousands of years of traditional consensus that transcends many cultures. Those excruciating lustful thoughts that come to surface that make you horny is feedback you should be reflecting on, not ignoring through masturbation.

[mike4567843]

I wanna stop smoking...can you help?

[thewayoutisin]

Friend, I started smoking when I was 11 and quit the habit 2 years ago. I tried to quit smoking by using differen mothods including nicotine patches. None of them worked until I came up with my one simple method: I would allow myself to crave it, smell it, imagine myself smoking it, look at cigarettes and let my mouth salivate, but one thing I would NOT do is touch it or hold it for anyone. It worked. I allowed flexibility in my attempt so the quiting wouldn't be so scary. Try it. Good luck.

[mike4567843]

Thank you!

[elora1654]

thank you for this video.

[AGNARAD]

Your body is the temple of the Divine, if you wish to call It the Divine. How can you treat your body as a public toilet, by denying what is natural? sex, fear, joy, illumination, death, they are natural things and they have to be accepted. So, I agree with you , keep it up

[fyleckie]

SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU WANKER!

[DamonBoykiw]

jesus christ, you own the audience with your eye contact! fuck. this intensity is rare and gets your attention

[ripptjeans]

Wow, what a message... totally awesome !

[MysticHoly]

The Birds there sing different than the Birds here.

[EgoTailTRAILCIRCLE]

The more i know myself the more I see noself.

[skinfected]

new born osho

[chester4120]

thanks for your thoughts

[LilaSakura]

But eventually to attain liberation, the greater joy of Divine, make one walk away easily from the sense pleasures?
