Comment: CD ‘Gifts of Life’

Elisabeth, Netherlands

In GIFTS OF LIFE it becomes clear that as long as the ego thinks in terms of what is the next step to do, is foolish, for you would have realized everything has come to me, and what is yet to come to me will come to me. What is the next step is what the ego always looks for, because it is convinced it is the doer and it can do in life. One can never say what is the next step, nobody can tell what the next step will be. You will come to know what the next step will be. The force of  life will dictate what will happen, the force of life will bring forth the response. You will respond, not react. Life will disclose to you what is the next step. Once everything becomes precious to you, you will realize everything happens in life. What a beautiful satsang in which so much is shared.

 

Comment: CD ‘Seven Wonders’

Elisabeth, Netherlands

The seven wonders of the world enumerated in the visual ‘the Seven Wonders’ shown during the satsang SEVEN WONDERS are present in all that we think we do. If the seven wonders are not present in it, it can never happen. When you do anything, you got to see, you got to hear, you got to touch, you got to smell, you got to feel,  laugh and love. You are told the seven wonders, they happen every moment. Anything which man does is a wonder, it is not brought about by individual will, efficiency, effort or what not. It is a miracle as how the other miracles are in this world, not made by man, but happened through man. With deep gratitude.

 

Comment: CD ‘Moment (2)’

Elisabeth, Netherlands

When did man begin to believe? For present day man there are so many belief systems. What is the strongest belief in man’s mind, present day man, which never leaves him alone? The belief that I can do, I must do, I will do and I shall do. Man does not make anything happen. Everything happens to  man. Life happens to man and man thinks he can make life happen, and that is because the thinking has happened to man by life that he can make life happen. We claim to have done, we claim to have planned. Ego is a claimer of beliefs. Life will flow only in one way. You cannot fight life. Very much enjoyed the satsang, Guruji, you say, when light begins to shine through the mind and light begins to shine through sound, that is the place where your understanding happens. At the back of it is pure light and intelligence. Namaste, and wishing you well from the bottom of my heart.

 

Comment: CD ‘Failure’

Elisabeth, Netherlands

What is it that we want to succeed in life? And why is it we always end up in failure? Because we think there is success and failure we are confused. Failure is a distinct illusion of life.  Our root conditioning is that we are imperfect, that we should be great achievers, otherwise you won’t achieve, you will fail in life. Because we fail continuously we are confused. Success is an illusion because an endpoint is never reached. Life does everything for us. We are trying to prevent life happening to us. Success is an illusion, so too is failure. To watch life with clarity, not with confusion.  There is nothing called failure in life. You have concluded how life should be.  Very much enjoyed the satsang.

 

Letter: to Dr. Shankar

L, Canada

Dear Dr. Shankar, I have been enjoying listening to your cd’s and reading books of yours.  At this time, I am reading what am I?  Today I read where you explained how everything is light and how light strikes the seen and creates a sound that is inaudible to the mind and then further enters the eye as many light waves that become perception and as it strikes the retina of the eye another sound is made that cannot be heard by mind and at this point transforms into words and meanings. if this is correct, then I thought about language itself and it appears to me that man became familiar with light wave patterns over time and that  he then translated these inaudible sounds into words and these words, ...were they the original languages of Sanskrit or Hebrew?   were these original words more true to the inaudible sounds? And is there a value in this? It makes me think of mantra that they appear to have  a vibration that is more harmonious .and beneficial, I have a past history in mantra meditation that I found helpful, although i now wonder was it the repetition of these mantras that were of value? I have a keen interest in understanding it all.  this inquiry begins to paint a kind of picture of man’s evolution through time. I am understanding this optical and auditory illusion somewhat more than before. yet, at this time, it appears to me that even  more inquiry needs to awaken within to really live the way that you describe it. I thank you very much for all your efforts to shed the light of knowledge upon us.  I warmly remember the time my friend and I spent in Houston at your talks a year ago. And I thank you for sending a copy of your film.  I do pray that we meet again.
Response Dr. Shankar: Light reflected from the seen enters the eye to strike the retina and transform into words and meanings. These words and meanings evolved as primitive languages which further evolved as Sanskrit and Hebrew over evolutionary illusory time. Repetition leads to familiarity and to the belief of harmony for the duration of time it is repeated, and it is so till date. Every word is beneficial for it is an opportunity for man to understand that word is a transformation of sound and not man made. Mantras are helpful for it quitens the mind for the duration of repetition, because during the period of repetition words that disturb the mind are absent. This gives rise to the belief of harmony, which is time limited and not permanent till end of life. This limited temporary harmony is the value of repetition.
Reply L:Well once again, with the magic of your words, you have pierced the illusion of belief for me.   I do understand that life makes all happen, and only appears to be this me and in that is an amazing design of a dance of light which I have a desire to fully understand. Yes, I have seen the movie ‘Non duality. Life as it is’  and it is well done.  I enjoyed it very much.  it is, as everything you speak to us, a matter of contemplation and inquiry and will be an ongoing study for me. I will continue with it and quite possibly ask further questions. thank you , thank you

 

Enquiry with: Marcus Stegmaier (Germany), Michael Jeffreys (USA) and seekers.:

 

What does it really mean that “Right“ and “Wrong“ are just illusory thoughts in the mind and not a reality in life?
Michael Jeffreys’ original post on Facebook:
No one has ever done anything wrong. (If you are open to it, feel any resistance that may arise in you from this statement.) Is it possible that RIGHT and WRONG are merely egoic perspectives? Is rain right or wrong? Ask the picnic goers on their first date and you may get one answer, while the farmer may have another. Right and wrong do not exist in reality... they only exist in the mind as mental labels, judgments, strongly held opinions and beliefs. It has significance ONLY in the world of mind, not Life. :) ♥
Seeker A: Yes, but unless you are IN the world of life, such understanding ………. read further

 

Enquiry: Conversation between Marius (17, sixth former, Germany) and Marcus (Germany)


Marcus: Only a small part of human beings are really interested in understanding life. What is dispensed by parents, teachers, science, religion and spirituality, obviously is incomplete for questions remain and clarity is not attained. To realize this is an important step for man to begin to enquire deeply. This enquiry, sooner or later, turns inwards, to explore one‘s own mind, whether it is real or not. For the thoughts which we have about the world are all we know about the world, it is wise to enquire what thoughts really are, where they come from and whether they are real or illusory. Then it will reveal itself that WHAT WE KNOW about life IS NOT LIFE AS IT IS. Here is a compilation of a conversation with a young man who is yet to deeply enquire into life.
Marius: Is life an illusion? Are we just film-goers in a cinema in which our film of life is shown? Is everything …… read further
