1. Awakening the Soul: Diksha - True Spiritual Initiation

[88Sublime96]

This happened to me, I think. I was laying down and my mind was wandering and I was practicing focusing on the present moment. Every time my thoughts pulled me away from the present I would suddenly catch myself and focus on my body again, and each time I felt ...Peace, or presence overwhelming my body. And before I know it, I had one of these "Projections" as he says it seemed like a dream but felt so real, it was ultimate peace, it was.......amazing.

Is the tree not just a projection of our mind, or will we see that it is not a projection at all but it is real from all other things? (That is, if it is our master.)

Acharya Shree is enlightened?

[dericktriped12]

I am very confused if you cannot find a guru then I should surrender to the universe or a maybe a tree. But how can a tree react to my mistakes?

[stonergeo33]

@dericktriped12 The Universe is your guru. Just let it be and find it inside yourself.

[adam4810]

@dericktriped12 everything is god, anything will do, you could surrender to the air, or even your own fart lol. just surrender to god, but use your heart, mean it, and shout it with your heart in your mind. your emotions...

[MsSpiritual07]

can initiation happen wihtout a Guru, to a person, on his own?

when he doesnt want to live in illusion anymore and wants to know the truth.

[adam4810]

@MsSpiritual07 maybe not escape reality, or existence, or the experience, or your computer lol.. but.. yes

im really looking forward to getting more in touch with my spiritual side.

This is inspiring to watch.

One who is an earnest seeker, will find the true Guru coming his way. The fastest path is Kundalini Yoga, but 0ne needs a Guru. The safest simplest path is Bhakti Yoga (Devotion) To find a true Guru, read Sandeha Nivarini published by the Sai Baba trust. Any thinking person will realise it's worth. I'm very well read and experienced. This man on video is not a Guru. Pray sincerly to God to guide you and HE will bring a true Guru to you.Love all, have no hatred and you are on the way.

smart450,

If you are so well read and know the "right path" , then why are you here watching Acharya Shree's video? If you don't know something yourself, then don't merely make statements from your borrowed knowledge. As far as who is a "true" Guru, you should leave that on each individual to decide for himself/herself.

[smart450]

sizeyes, I know what I'm doing, Searching out pseudos who mislead people. A realised person will never condemn others, Their good works will be known by the masses. I taught spirituality to many since 1973. Till today consider myself a senior student not GURU which in sanskrit means he who has the power to remove ignorance, and in Hindu terms "there is no difference between Guru and God. (Sri Guru Gita) Sincerely everyday, ask God to help you find the right path- "ask and you shall be given"

[milamo123]

dear smart,

you cant get there by thinking

Meditation it is not what you think

[kmichael212]

@smart450 Asking a god that does not exist wont help your life problems.If your a Guru than you can remove your own ignorance.If you taught spiritually since 1973 ,than I guess you dont need to ask for help to god.

[ObsidianImages]

@smart450 Odd, you said a guru dosent condemn, and you proclaim yourself a "senior student", yet you still come here, preach and give advice, then you go about condemning this guy, saying he isnt a guru. Maybe you need to pull your head out of your asshole?
