Video Description: The word SELF is very important…when we say aatma we are talking of self. Its not something separate…whole sant maat is a journey to discovery our-self within ourselves. What are the hurdles that are coming in our way to discover our-self? Very visible hurdle …we should be able to solve it easily…these are visible hurdle and not yet understood as hurdles. There are 3 hurdles to discover own-self…1st one is the physical body we are wearing we think that is our-self. Its a mis-identification that starts the whole and biggest problem. We are identifying ourselves with something so temporary…and create a big problem on spiritual journey. If we recognize we USE the body and not the body we can be close to our self (6min). Its a good starting point this is a hurdle and big help to have a human body is a great help to discover what is inside the body…who are we. When we are able to perform experimentation on our self…we pretend we don’t have a body…like when we sleep at night we don’t pretend 🙂 Suppose we have a body and pretend that we don’t have a body..what happens? By doing so we start looking at what else could be there…these eyes, ears to see and hear outside. Where are we if we close it all? We are then in a state of imagination (of future, past etc.)….what does it do? In a dark room nothing to disturb us…what do we do? We imagine and see things and hear them. If we spend time in that state …we can smell, touch to things in the imagination! All these 5 sense perception work in imagination! We can use them without the body…a good discovery that we are have the SELF using 5 sense perception even when we are not using the body at all. ..its a very interesting experiment (11min).
The biggest problem is removed..but its not so easy…as imaginary self is not real. The moment we call imaginary unreal we come back in the body. Hurdle of the body still remain and we think we have discovered inner self but we are still attached to the body. Imaginary self maybe real…let’s test this out. The self that exists but has no matter in it…but it can see, touch, taste and smell… use that inner self and see what else we can do with it. It can go into past where it wants…or future or fly into space. Why don’t we try to make good use of inner self which we are now calling it imaginary without relation to the physical body…which we have left behind…we are much closer to the that self than we are sitting in this physical body.
2nd hurdle is what we are imagining we are trying to make it real. That neither this body or imaginary self is real! To see, touch, taste are merely functions of inner and physical self. Therefore, next step 3rd hurdle become more difficult and yet simple that do not consider sense perception as our-self imagine who is using the sense perception. We will discover we have nothing self in us that is thinking mind! Mind is also a part of our-self…and we have for a long time that mind to be our-self (13min). In scripture we talk about pindi, andiman, bhramadiman. All experiences arise from the casual mind. How we discover thinking mind with no use of sense perception can function by itself. We close our eyes and began to see what self perception alone can do, why not do with sensory system…block all sense perception and confine our-self to watching the thinking mind. Thoughts come in language…listen to the words spoken by mind…we will discover who is listening to word of the mind…we are looking at it..we are the observer the listener but not the mind! The mind is the last hurdle before we can discover who we are. WE become unaware of them to realise who we really are ❤ But the attachment keep us outside here. That is why its important to know that attachments we creating are obstacles also.
Who is a PLM? (19min) Its our own highest self. We cannot practice detachment but we can get attach to PLM and that helps a lot. A pull from master who’s love pulls us. That is why path of spirituality is nothing but path of love and devotion. We do this by going within ourself (21min).We will discover true self includes people we are seeing, all stages, it contains whole drama of creation.
