Dialogue with Death #47: Realising this Truth 30.09.2020 28:35

Just like peeling back the layers of a flower, if one can slowly peel back all the layers, the Atman will be revealed. The body, mind and intellect are covering it yet with self effort, through detachment and discrimination one can uncover this Truth and revel in bliss. Any being who strives to live like Nachiketa can also achieve and realise this Truth. YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/Chinmaya...

Dialogue with Death #46: The Culmination of a Seeker’s Journey 30.09.2020 29:26

At the start of a spiritual seeker’s journey, desires have to be given up with will and effort. For the realised person, the desires leave him without effort. When a seeker is prepared and the knowledge takes place, the bliss that remains removes all desires. Kathopanishad instructs one to cut the knots of the heart. When these knots of ignorance, desires, actions are cut, this seeker realises he...

Dialogue with Death #45: Meditate and Realise 30.09.2020 30:13

Having heard the means of knowledge, listen to Swami Tejomayananda expand on meditation. Meditation is withdrawal of the mind and turning the mind’s attention towards itself. When the senses, mind and intellect become still, the mind is not wishing for anything, the senses are not perceiving and the intellect is not judging. It is not the same as deep sleep! It is a conscious withdrawal. Once a pe...

Dialogue with Death #44: Listen, Reflect, Meditate 30.09.2020 30:41

Although the Atman is unknown to us now, is it unknowable? Can we experience it via our senses or through perception? The Atman does not fall within the range of our sense perception. Kathopanishad shares the method of gaining this knowledge; listening, reflecting and then meditating. The student needs a purified mind and to have gained knowledge from a Guru. When a qualified student approaches th...

Dialogue with Death #43: No Time Like the Present 30.09.2020 30:10

One lives as though life will last forever. Yet we have no idea when we will face death. Knowing this, one should focus on gaining knowledge in this life and not wait until the next! Even if the efforts do not lead to realisation, the results of our efforts will lead to a purified mind and gaining knowledge. Devotion to the Guru is a perfect way by which to purify the mind. Don’t wait. Do it now....

Dialogue with Death #42: The Cause Behind the Effect 30.09.2020 30:34

The whole world, the forces of nature, our bodies, they all function in harmony with the laws of nature. By seeing the effects of the laws of nature, we are led back to the cause.  Samsaara is likened to the tree which can be cut down, through developing vairagya and viveka. This Samsaara we experience is only there because of our ignorance of our true nature. Once we see that there is a caus...

Dialogue with Death #41: Is this knowledge for me? 30.09.2020 24:53

Swami Tejomayananda states clearly that there should be no doubt about whether one can experience this Truth. Instead of asking “can I experience this?”, ask how can I experience it. Try to understand this Truth instead of simply thinking “I don’t understand”. By knowing It, does one find fulfilment in life. YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/ChinmayaChannel/

Dialogue with Death #40: Everlasting peace 30.09.2020 30:12

What is the result of gaining knowledge of the Self? That person experiences abiding, everlasting bliss. Regularly, we get what we want and we experience some short term peace. Yet the peace and bliss gained from knowledge is everlasting. The more we look for this peace externally, the more we struggle and the more we are keeping ourselves separate from it.

Dialogue with Death #39: Seeing the Atman through a balloon 30.09.2020 29:31

How to explain the nature of this Atmatattva (essential nature of the Self)? Swami Tejomayananda gives a number of vivid examples to remind us that this Atman is everywhere. It is not energy, it is consciousness which manifests as life. Air does not have any particular shape, it takes the form of its containers. For example, when you blow a balloon, you breathe in air which is transferred to the b...
