31:12 centered in Brahman for an enlightened person 32:58 swami Prameshanand ji Cultivation of steady mind: don't try to cultivate a serene, peaceful mind but try to cultivate a steady mind. A steady mind requires strength. Steady mind = not shaken by the ups and downs of life. "I am a spiritual practitioner and these are my ethical standards and I'll continue to practice. It doesn't matter what happens in the world."
Namaskarams🙏🙏🙏 Swami ji 🙏🙏🙏One is listening to the nectar of divine explanation 🙏again and again🙏🙏🙏 Fifth chapter🙏🙏🙏 of Bhagavatgita Love and Respect from Helsinki Finland🙏
35:40 trying to keep and maintain serene and peaceful mind leads to selfishness ... you will start avoiding trouble... never seek trouble but don't run away ...
32:40 Conversations with Swami Premeshanandaji very deep! Cultivation of steady mind...? What is serene/still versus steady mind? Mind will always get disturbed it cannot remain serene even if you are a devotee ... disease death or anxiety or mental illness!!!! MENTAL BODY IS A BODY, MENTAL ILLNESS.
34:44 LET your mind face sorrows, no problem know YOU are free of mind ... but stay on the path ... I'll do and struggle to do and let me fail also does NOT matter. Steady mind required strength to hold on to devotion to God and clarity of the the Immortal Atman.
55:02 a Buddhist said we put so much energy into maintaining this House of Maya, this energetic arisings that are nothing but pure consciousness ... KEEP DISSOLVING THEM ONE BY ONE, SAY I AM NOT THAT BODY!
33:48 don't make the mistake of trying to cultivate a "peaceful or serene mind" is a subtle mistake. Make a STEADY MIND to stick with the struggle whether fail or not, does not matter what happens, determination LET THE MIND BE SCARED OR HAPPY.
Swamiji 🙏. Your discourses are like the true good friend. Was facing a hard situation and the friend came and even me without asking solved it. May your divine grace be on people like us always. Namaskar at your divine feet🙏
52:11 Pure mathematician who gave a wonderful talk on Vedanta. This also gives great joy ... following one thought, trained ... but great philosopher now very unhappy because he got a stroke and brain is not functioning, which is dependent on intellect, outside touch ... he gave one Vedantic argument like a mathematical proof
49:29 young Swami asked that my mum and dad have cars houses and most of the time not happy but you guys don't have anything and still happy ... SPIRITUAL PERSON is happy, whether householder or monk.
51:03 artists and mathematicians ... and the deaf composer who was never dependent on hearing ... deeply absorbed in their inner world ... scientist joy is also very great... pure mathematicians are very deep inside
36:42 steady mind has to persist in spiritual practice! (Otherwise if you say I'm peaceful and gone beyond before enlightenment, life will give you a hard kick ... "practicing to be beyond suffering" cannot succeed) say to thoughts AND events ... does not matter
55:47 our thoughts our constructs about the world all of it is energetic arisings in Awareness ... this one enjoys, this enlightened person is having a PARTY, an ENDLESS PARTY!
14:01 Dzogchen Tibetan Buddhists say four kinds of freedom. Primordial freedom .... Consciousness is at no point bound ... and for mind, right now obsessive thoughts ... second freedom of moment to moment ...
The insight of trying to remain “stable” rather than “peaceful” amidst adversity is so welcome! It helps... Thank you for your nuggets of wisdom which help so much to cope with the unkind times!
42:45 of course matter affects the mind, but matter does not create the mind, they appear together, the neuroscientist is also experimenting only because he had thoughts to experiment and that is caused by other things by the mind itself by causality neuroscientist is in causality
56:01 Vishayananda, Bhajanananda Brahmananda ... ~Sri Ramakrishna Vishaya can be as gross as thinking about eating a cookie or as subtle as enjoying high art in a museum
42:39 meditation affects brain, brain affects mind, but didn't prove that mind created brain AND brain CANNOT CREATE mind. Software can't do a single thing without a device.
53:40 I feel inferior to mathematicians, see mind .... be BrahmaYoga Yukta Atma ... is mind necessary for maintaining enlightenment? What if you have stroke and whole memory loss?
6:36 Wisdom is "to treat equal things equally and unequal things unequally"...is it? LOTS of discussion in the commentaries about how is it that in enlightenment everybody is the same? "Atma Vishaya Prajna, Pandah".
25:38 for a celebrity, being famous and not being famous anymore is a big tragedy etc. Merting people completely opposed to your point of view... THIS IS A "DHARMA" PROPERTY OF ONE SUBTLE BODY AT ONE POINT, AND THAT SUBTLE BODY AT THIS POINT.
23:04 the reactions to pleasant sight and unpleasant sight evoking joy in "me" is WRONG and it is FALSE. In BRAHMAN, THERE IS NO CHANGE. The enlightened person is not "seriously" happy or really really sad or strongly desiring or repelling from something... but NO he is not elated or depressed ever.
46:05 they say there is free will. Who has free will? The one who THINKS that he has free will has free will in Vyavahara. All transactions require free will. The neuroscientist who said brain damage and law and court is using brain as evidence and letting go and mind uploading etc ALL OF THAT is causality: the neuroscientist had thoughts and expressed it, thoughts were caused by something else, regress regress back ... only causality

Pranam Swamiji. Stay safe. Jai thakur, Jai Ma, Jai Swamiji
Pranams & Thank you Sir🙏🙏🙏
35:40 trying to keep and maintain serene and peaceful mind leads to selfishness ... you will start avoiding trouble... never seek trouble but don't run away ...
58:41 the joy of spiritual practice itself is high! Joy of practice and self inquiry, seeker tries to replace worldly joy with this

35:49 the tiger is Narayana, but don't go and embrace the tiger Lord!!! ~Sri Ramakrishna
58:47 much greater than the greatest joy in the world is the joy of crying for God!!!!!
Thank you 🙏🏻💕
Thank u Swamiji 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
8:04 all are equal as God. One who sees this conquers death, because you are Brahman as Consciousness, which never dies.
3:42 Knowledge and Humility ... cow and dog and outcaste and elephant
56:49 this person has attained the Highest.
Sri Krishnarpanamastu 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Moment to moment awareness to dissolve all the thoughts arising!!!... At 16.5 is too appealing. Pranams and hatsoff to your clarity Swamiji.
55:02 a Buddhist said we put so much energy into maintaining this House of Maya, this energetic arisings that are nothing but pure consciousness ... KEEP DISSOLVING THEM ONE BY ONE, SAY I AM NOT THAT BODY!

48:21 UNDECAYING bliss
17:19 DIRECT FREEDOM!
Thank you swamiji....listening your speech n going through nirudhasana also gives emense bliss🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
59:28 all these Vishayananda and Bhajanananda are all little bits of spray and foam from the ocean of joy that you are, the joy of Brahmananda.
31:02 staying with the knowledge...........very necessary
24:48 let is come, let it be, let it go
Swamiji 🙏. Your discourses are like the true good friend. Was facing a hard situation and the friend came and even me without asking solved it. May your divine grace be on people like us always. Namaskar at your divine feet🙏
❤
56:46 this person has an experience of oneself as Awareness Existence and manifests, enjoys the Bliss of the Atman
thank you
52:11 Pure mathematician who gave a wonderful talk on Vedanta. This also gives great joy ... following one thought, trained ... but great philosopher now very unhappy because he got a stroke and brain is not functioning, which is dependent on intellect, outside touch ... he gave one Vedantic argument like a mathematical proof
1:02:00 Anandmimamsa
Calculation of bliss
59:31 we sit on the shores of the ocean of nectar and die of thirst, looking at the sand and trying to satisfy ourselves
1:03:14 the smile of a person who is seeing God
16:32 use everything to become aware of yourself as Awareness
49:29 young Swami asked that my mum and dad have cars houses and most of the time not happy but you guys don't have anything and still happy ... SPIRITUAL PERSON is happy, whether householder or monk.
34:41 I have NO CONTROL OVER HOW OTHER PEOPLE BEHAVE. Hold on to clarity.... watch watch must
51:03 artists and mathematicians ... and the deaf composer who was never dependent on hearing ... deeply absorbed in their inner world ... scientist joy is also very great... pure mathematicians are very deep inside
36:42 steady mind has to persist in spiritual practice! (Otherwise if you say I'm peaceful and gone beyond before enlightenment, life will give you a hard kick ... "practicing to be beyond suffering" cannot succeed) say to thoughts AND events ... does not matter
48:51 the enlightened person is VERY VERY HAPPY, always happy, even in the way we are familiar with, always ... very happy to tell you
41:04 MIND AND MATTER AND BRAIN CAN BRAIN PRODUCE MUST MUST VERY DEEP VERY VAST THANK YOU LORD!!!
38:40 spirit of the Ramakrishna Mission.
1:00 the realization
58:20 the same infinity of yourself outside and inside and everywhere... excitement and boredom are in mind, not in you.
32:04 never be fearful or unhappy or distressed! Thou Art Free!
55:47 our thoughts our constructs about the world all of it is energetic arisings in Awareness ... this one enjoys, this enlightened person is having a PARTY, an ENDLESS PARTY!
14:01 Dzogchen Tibetan Buddhists say four kinds of freedom. Primordial freedom .... Consciousness is at no point bound ... and for mind, right now obsessive thoughts ... second freedom of moment to moment ...
🙏🙏🙏
27:00 of settled conviction, undeluded, Knower of Brahman
35:55 peace is the result of enlightenment, don't want it now, don't put the cart before the horse.
27:16 brahmaṇi sthitaḥ = centred in brahman: 3 words used
sthira-buddhir = of settled conviction
asammūḍho = undeluded
brahma-vid = knower of brahman
41:34 mind doesn't create matter and matter doesn't create mind, both are appearances in consciousness
56:43 imagine the PEACE OF THIS PERSON!
47:22 EVERYTHING is admitted at the Vyavahara level. Language thoughts work etc.... Maya or Shunyata upon examination.
The insight of trying to remain “stable” rather than “peaceful” amidst adversity is so welcome! It helps... Thank you for your nuggets of wisdom which help so much to cope with the unkind times!
1:02:00 association with the sadhus also gives coolness, calm from the heat of samsara, and unforgettable joy
1:01:40 entire analysis of Bliss in Taittirya Upanishad
🙏🌺💗
50:40 I'm attached to pleasant thoughts and daydreams too!!!
38:01 takeaway: don't be too worried whether the mind is peaceful or not
45:42 subtle body is also collection of components
❤
42:45 of course matter affects the mind, but matter does not create the mind, they appear together, the neuroscientist is also experimenting only because he had thoughts to experiment and that is caused by other things by the mind itself by causality neuroscientist is in causality
2:49 Verses 18, 19
🙏
41:34 without physical body subtle body can't do anything
24:54 unenlightened person wants to have varieties and repeat experience and get more ...
54:39 BRAIN DAMAGE CANNOT AFFECT ENLIGHTENMENT THOUGH YOU MIGHT FORGET ALL MEMORY.
56:01 Vishayananda, Bhajanananda Brahmananda ...
~Sri Ramakrishna
Vishaya can be as gross as thinking about eating a cookie or as subtle as enjoying high art in a museum
Was here. 011022
44:01 Are you a person? We immediately think we are body. But science and Vedanta all say body is not a self. Then mind ...
19:41 the VERSE!!!
33:56
Beethoven has a musical composition called JOY.
48:21 next VERSE
44:49 the Buddhists, Chinese Mahayana do not attack the Consciousness, Infinitude ... no, they don't call it a self because they say no self.
4:53 Is Bhagavad Gita casteist? Very deep and direct answer. Bhagavad Gita is the most radical kind of equality, absolute sameness!
44:40 Buddhist five aggregates ... one is body other four are mind
41:31 subtle body and physical body are not two very independent things
5:46 it's a new political line ... at Harvard somebody always says Gita is misogynistic etc ...
42:39 meditation affects brain, brain affects mind, but didn't prove that mind created brain AND brain CANNOT CREATE mind. Software can't do a single thing without a device.
54:42 I want this I want this
28:02 what is the truly purified mind? Concentrated to point of samadhi ...
50:01 what do we feel? I am dependent on the world? I am dependent on NOTHING hahahahaha!
58:17 who is bored?
13:02 many philosophies say that freedom comes with physical death ... but this is NOT the view of Vedanta, you already ARE FREE
43:41 what do you say to Sam Harris and others? There is no self in the body and subtle body.
53:40 I feel inferior to mathematicians, see mind .... be BrahmaYoga Yukta Atma ... is mind necessary for maintaining enlightenment? What if you have stroke and whole memory loss?
39:00 better to not react to discrimination against Gita
47:49 these verses are related to Chapter 2 verses
6:36 Wisdom is "to treat equal things equally and unequal things unequally"...is it? LOTS of discussion in the commentaries about how is it that in enlightenment everybody is the same? "Atma Vishaya Prajna, Pandah".
25:38 for a celebrity, being famous and not being famous anymore is a big tragedy etc. Merting people completely opposed to your point of view... THIS IS A "DHARMA" PROPERTY OF ONE SUBTLE BODY AT ONE POINT, AND THAT SUBTLE BODY AT THIS POINT.
23:04 the reactions to pleasant sight and unpleasant sight evoking joy in "me" is WRONG and it is FALSE. In BRAHMAN, THERE IS NO CHANGE. The enlightened person is not "seriously" happy or really really sad or strongly desiring or repelling from something... but NO he is not elated or depressed ever.
46:05 they say there is free will. Who has free will? The one who THINKS that he has free will has free will in Vyavahara. All transactions require free will. The neuroscientist who said brain damage and law and court is using brain as evidence and letting go and mind uploading etc ALL OF THAT is causality: the neuroscientist had thoughts and expressed it, thoughts were caused by something else, regress regress back ... only causality
40:02 least informed and least respectful were the Indians themselves
37:02 I am not on any high spiritual level.
56:40 enjoying art, science etc in museum is also gross
1. Visayananda 2. SANGJAMANANDA (Joy of Control of Senses, body & mind) 3. Bhajanananda 4. Brahmananda ... the 2nd point might have been missed.
