Thank you Dada for another exceptional heartfelt message. You have asked to write our tricks that are helpful to keep us elevated. I have recently found ways that have worked shockingly well. I know for a fact that it did not come from me. This trick just appeared in my mind. You may know this already but it could be useful for some who are struggling. 1. When you see the lack in the world around you, whatever lack you are feeling, you are supposed to give it. For instance, you feel less loved, you give immense love. You feel ignored, you give attention You feel you were disrespected, you give respect. Somehow that seems to be the answer. So now, anytime, i feel annoyed, my mind goes to why I am feeling this and what is it that I am feeling and give the opposite of it. This is an undeniable truth! After doing that, I naturally don’t expect any change in another’s behaviour or circumstance. It almost feels crude to expect anything.. my only reward is that I don’t feel any lack at all after I do this. It just goes away like a puff or magic :) This is the trick that divine has bestowed upon me with great love. And I give it here. Pranam.
Thank you Dada Sadananda for this very insightful video. As requested by Dada, my way to create this resistance is to give time to thoughts and feelings although thus far it has been through desires and pleasures by partaking in forms of intoxication... although if looked at expansively, could perhaps be labelled as a form of devotion (bhakti) to oneself. However, these thoughts and emotions have arisen through darkness and suffering and the vision which has fathomed from this chapter of dwelling has bought me closer to enlightenment (jnana), which in turn is helping me to move through the darkness into light, by understanding that I have the ability to achieve jnana myself, without having to punish my body and mind. Darkness comes to us in many forms. I have since learned that applying disciplines (raja yoga) is a better use of my time (karma) as it brings me more joy and peace of mind. Furthermore, both my inner and outer worlds seem to benefit and progress as a result. Raja yoga provides us with 8 ashtangas as a method of practice which help us on this journey. I believe that with discipline and practice, the mind gradually becomes less dualistic as our behaviour and actions become more collective and you begin to understand how we are surrounded by a world of energies and consciousness which interacts with our biological chemistry which fuels our karmic purpose, and that when we then learn to act on what serve to be our light leads us towards divinity.
So clear, thank you very much. "My" mental trick is to notice the early signs of suffering in the body. Than I focus on my breath and go inside of the feeling at the same time. I close my eyes and dive in towards the bodily sensation. My mantra is my breath, if that is possible.
Thank you for this wonderful video. To know my source is everything for me. It is all I am aiming for, and to balance that with my "earthly" life is tough - and necessary. I could sit in my apartment and meditate, write, sing, do shadow work, read and watch my patterns day after day. So the discomforts in my life at this moment is defininalty about that. It is what pushes me forwards, and inwards. Family situations, daily conversations about the earthly struggles (bad weather, corona virus, media)... But also not searching for comfort in rough times. I am what I seek, so I will try to accept the fact that I shall not reach out as soon as it gets a little bit too dark. All light is within, and I shall look until it is the only truth. I am deeply gratefull for you and your videos. Namaste.
Clash in my mind only arises whenever I am unable to keep my spine straight, seems that it blocks the flow of energy into lower three chakra, mainly 3rd chakra, I get thoughts to prove myself to the people who don't understand my path & give judgements on me. I feel a sense of pure loving vibration coming from you. You calms me & get me back to meditative state !
Buddha said, "There are only two things going on here. Everything that lives wants to continue to do so, and everything that lives wants to be happy.". That's all. Nothing more, nothing less. He was correct.
@@overlordborn6131 You're going to have to look to find it. I heard this from the fellow who was the abbot of the tibetan monastery at the place where Buddha got enlightened. Robert Thurman was translating. This was back in the eighties at green gulch zen center.
Dada, you only confirm that all things Spiritual require some type of agitation either internal or external. Breathing exercises, Sauna, Meditation, Life, etc. all require us (if we are lucky enough to understand) to step BEYOND ourselves - this is the only way we can grow. The LESSONS are ALL around us in Life at any Given Time - we only need the Ability to See - The Meditation is such a beautiful thing because it promotes Logic over Emotion, but keeps the positive, Joy, Love and so forth as the Constant the Fuel for this. It's never easy and difficult for people to see beyond this sometimes, but it's always there....as you say. and it is...the more I come to this, the more I want to seek it out...all of your videos out here - they don't have enough hits...this is most worthy Obsession there is...Consciousness and all things about it. As always - Thank for your Wisdom!
Lot of respect for my new love, I keep smiling thinking about you and your talks. Today I laughed out loud when you said “let’s create some circumstantial pressure”...I guess I only work with real pressure and universe is providing enough of it...thanks for all your creative ways of teaching ! Parijatha flowers for you !
i always find a work place that i don't like when i'm trying to grow, but after sometime it just turns into torture, and i quit. when i quit i always be thankful for the money i have.
Thank you Baba for such a beautifully clear understanding of transforming our negativity and moving towards divinity via clash, wonderful ❤️ I try to remain in the present moment all day, it is my aim for each day and always try to pass some light to those around me. Love your channel and so appreciate you taking the time to show us the way forward 🥰🙏
Jai avadhootha..i have deadlines for suffering.i allow myself to wallow in suffering ,then gather my energies to rise above the situation..i notice the body and mind cooperate..short anushtaans keep me dynamic in the path..since you asked..thank you for the beautiful message
Thank you very much Dada. You have explained most clearly how I have to work on my suffering. I am listening to all your video's and learning a lot. Namaskar.
Really I was suffering today by some problems which cleared my thoughts and will do clash for it by thinking positive . Thanks guru dada what we say guru bandhu
Very clear & easy to understand instructions. I know you are very intelligent. I'm going to try hard to do the things you said to do in this video. Thanks
Namaste Dada, this is the best video I had ever seen, before watching this video I was suffering now am in clash, thanks you for opening my eyes, since yesterday I started watching ur video, I was doing meditation from many years but did not how to do it properly, after watching ur video I got to know how to do correct, I am trying to watch all ur video asap, I am suffering emotionally and financially, now I get hope through u, soon I will come out of it, need ur blessings !
Namaskar 🙏 . The explanation is unbiased and clear which a logical mind seeks from Guru. Continue the mission for the benefit of mankind and enabling them to understand the things.
Namaskar Dada. I felt that you were really speaking directly to me. Thank you for your generosity! May you prosper in joy and health, may you continue to share you wisdom and loving kindness with the world. Namaskar
Thank you thank you thank you prabhu 🙏 You beautifully describe, what is suffering? and what is to be heroic. I didn't even know difference between this situations, and most of the time out of ignorance I didn't value my inner true self. This necterian instructions gave me strength 🙌🙏
thanku ..so true... i was always interested in spirituality .. from my childhood.. but only kept gaining theoretical knowledge... never did meditation ( always found some excuse...also i never had courage to follow this path as i am girl..so my mom filled this idea in my mind that who will marry me if i will do spiritual stuffs ) ... untill recently ... i suffered too much because of a relationship and it changed me so much.. that in order to get rid of so much grudge hatred ...every kind of emotional pain.... i started doing meditation..it was hard for me to accept that..this almost 8 year long suffering ..was blessing that... finally shaped my mind.. gave me courage so that.. i am finally shaping my life .. in spiritual way ..i am no more scared of being judged... i only make company that is supportive for my spiritual life.... my motivation for meditation somehow still comes from that pain.... if i ever get distracted .. i always remind myself.. what was the meaning of that suffering .. i have to find that.. why i went through so dark bad emotions... i wish one day i will overcome this.. feeling and my longing will only be for supreme
So informative video... Well assorted negative n positive clashes..n wat suffering is...thanxs fr sharing dis Baba...its practise on onself to attain spirtual bliss
@preethura,very grateful for your comment.I scrn shot it to read and reread everyday and putting in to action.Thank you as this is a divine guidance ive prayed for.❤
I think one of the best ways to create pressure is to be committed to do meditation twice a day regularly, rain or shine. Then when suffering comes, you will go forward and struggle against darkness.
Namaskar ji 🙏🏼 One of the pressures I place on myself is to be liberated from the karmic cycle or at least to make "progress" in this lifetime that I become closer to liberation from the cycle of birth and death. As always, dhanyavaad for your teachings 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Dada excellent thoughts for self greatness. My understanding is that , many clash comes if we effort with positive thinking except effecting positive actions. So all the best for all for thinking positive and be great thro meditation practice Dada I am not able to join basic course in india . Be facilitate to start structurally to progress in meditation 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for this video after a long time! I have watched and listened to all of your talks and videos. I'm always grateful to you and your teachings! Namaskar 🙏💕
Not sure how writing down not to be homeless helps? Anyone who has ever found themselves in that situation for a long time would know how much inner strength it takes to try and meet basic needs and not spin into depression and despair, and without being able to find a home is a major endurance test to keep surviving and it's challenging at times to enjoy life. Prayer and meditation is not easy being homeless, compounding the problems. How do you suggest people resolve this and keep positive in these conditions?
I found this video very interesting. Particularly how the teaching of 'clash' clashes with the philosophy of non-resistance. I feel like intentionally placing yourself in uncomfortable situations and then not allowing yourself to seek out the comfort you crave is a form of resistance, but I can understand how doing so can facilitate personal growth. Perhaps I'm misunderstanding the teaching of non-resistance?
Good point. I'd say, and this is just my understanding, that non-resistance refers to accepting tough situations (which usually leads to growth) and resisting refers to urges for comfort and instant gratification (which come with negative consequences in the long run).
Thank you so much Dada for sharing Your wisdom 🙏 I would love it if you could explain how exactly to sit like You do and why it is important. Bless You 🙏
Namaskaram 🙏 It’s all ready many years that suffering are is in me, and in the last 16 months I “ fighting and struggle “ with Manipura chakra that shocking my colon and the entire digestion system, it sims that any kind of food are not tolerated. Many time I have to fast or eat only one time a day many enema a day, mantras, ecc ….. trying everything but no peace. It’ true that mind it’s more and more under control, but still quite strong …. I would like to know if there is an end. And if yes, when will be the end of this nightmare? Thank to anyone there, I love and grateful to follow you’re channel
Namaskar, this is the support team🙏 What you are describing sounds like a gastrointestinal disease. If the disease begins to spread, measures must be taken to stop its progression. This may include getting tested and understanding how best to act to cope with the illness. Don't forget about the impact of nutrition on health. It is recommended to eat clean food, excluding poisonous foods that can weaken the body. Practicing meditation regularly also maintains a healthy state, and conscious eating helps the cells of the body to rebuild and create a new state. This can lead to improved overall health and well-being. It is important to lead a healthy lifestyle to prevent diseases. Maintaining health and energy allows you to focus on meditation and spiritual development. Loving, caring, and actively serving others also promotes spiritual and physical well-being. Spiritual socialism embraces active service and love of neighbor as key components of a healthy lifestyle. Thus, overcoming long-term illnesses requires a holistic approach that includes healthy eating, meditation practice, maintaining energy and taking care of spiritual and physical well-being. But we still do suggest to consult a specialist doctor first. Get well soon, Meditation Steps🌸
It is easy to explain the trouble coming especially when excrements are entering in the colon, it ruin meditation prana and thoughts It is true that improve my focus, it keep me very alert . Thank you for the answer Do you have any ashram in Europe? If yess where ? I need some discipline Greetings
Namaskar, this is the support team🙏 Here is one of the biggest training centers, in Sweden: (yogamonastery.org/) Here you can also find our other representatives in different countries: um-team.tilda.ws/all_projects Best wishes, Meditation Steps🌸
Thank you Dada, you are a great inspiration. Should one accept failure? I am constantly struggling to do the right thing, yet my victories are small... It's not that I don't know what's right, but more that I am unwilling to let go of that little bird. Should I accept this? Do I continue my practice in acceptance of my limitations? I feel the clash within but with every failure I forgive myself. Will this forgiveness slow my liberation? Within this forgiveness, will my courage grow or will it diminish? Does forgiveness diminish the clash? Am I wrong to believe that letting go of the outcomes of my clashes, in victory or failure, is the proper way? Thank you Dada...
@ Jimmy Doyle 🌱💜🌱✌️🌱🤔Same here,I understand !Whats the right thing to do?All Ansers are relativ,our Problem we don’t know most off the time,what’s 🌱🤔😢right to do!Every failure is a stepping Stone to wake up,it to go an and trye a nother way👍👍
Namaskar Jimmy, our approach to life should be subjective approach through objective adjustment. Meaning that our goal is a subjective one (spiritual liberation). What we may consider a failure or clash, are opportunities for us to learn and grow and often make us stronger. Vádhá sá yus'amáná shaktih sevyam' sthápayati laks'ye. (Obstacles are the helping forces that establish one in the goal). What is most important is what we learn from our mistakes and 'failures', will keeping our mind focussed on a higher goal.
Can you say the mantra even if you still are struggling with worldy habits(smoking now 5to 7cigs aday use to be 20,and on a form of suboxone )so im wondering if i should ir should not do mantra.Ty this video hits straight home for me.❤
This is why Jesus said it is harder for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God than a camel to pass through the eye of the needle. the needle by the way is a gate in Israel. he did not mean the needle kind of needle. And a clash by definition is not easy, it is hard. or a struggle as you say. When our egos die we realize that our suffering has also died.
Dada Namaskarm ! Baba naam kevalam. Dada , I have a question. You have suggested to create a motive for spiritual seeking. Is it mandatory ? Can We create simple goal ? And should we hang on to that even in second stage which is veerachara?
my way to create preasure is to to cold showers and bodybuilding And some meditations Cause i think pain is essential for life and growth its like it is God itself The Love of pain Or do i just missunterstand somenthing ? Or i am too crazy ?
Namaskar, we are in the process of adding English subtitles for all our videos. They have to be done manually and will take a couple of months to complete. Thanks
suffering is not discomfort. suffering starts when you are antagonistic about this discomfort. when you say it is ok, it's just that - discomfort. the same is with the pain. when you accept the pain, it is just pain. when you are against the pain, then you suffer. no. if the push comes from outside, it is of no big value. because it will always be goal-oriented. once the goal is reached, no more push. real push happens always from the inside. then it can be permanent. I'm not saying it is permanent, I'm saying it has the potential to be permanent. all these stages of suffering sound like complete rubbish to me. spirituality is not for people who suffer. get your life in order and in line and then we can discuss Yoga or other spiritual paths. spirituality is not a therapy. when you are perfectly ok, and still, something is missing, it is more like a longing or a calling, the thirst that can not be satisfied, that is a beginning of spirituality. maybe now i understand what you mean by stages. but the first two stages are not spiritual in my books. all those reasons are wrong. and remember, if you do even the right thing for the wrong reason, you will not get very far. when the need arises it is just there for no reason. it comes without an invitation and once it is there, it is there to stay. you can not make it, you can not force it, it is there or it is not. if you try to force it, you will do more damage than good. i would suggest that you take a pen and paper and write down 100 times,:: circumstantial pressure is irrelevant. now jokes aside, this kind of pressure is needed in the preliminary stages and I would not call them really spiritual. and why? because it has much more to do with the material world than with anything else. clash is a technique used mostly by Zen Buddhism. it creates the situation when your mind is clashing with itself. it is kind of a shortcut, but it works only for a few. you are making a very simple phenomenon very complicated. once you hear that inner calling, once you discover and live this vacuum, even though your life is in perfect order, but there is still something missing, once you feel that thirst, there your spiritual journey begins. unless you are an incarnation, then it is already on the moment you were born. oh, pleasure now always wins with me. actually, anything now wins all the time. Atha my friend, always atha. another mantra for you: "fuck the heroes". 100 times each day for 1 year. maybe it can help you to get rid of your dualistic views. one can only hope. maybe it can help you to see beyond positive and negative. suffering is the poison and as you said, poison in, poison out. no, why the present moment is so valuable is: there is no suffering, it can not exist in the present moment. there can be pain or discomfort, but no suffering. suffering needs comparison. no past, no future, no comparison. Atha is the very first word in Patanjali's Yoga Sutras for a reason. if you are fully established in now, there is no more suffering for you. with the first word, 90% of the journey is done. the rest 10% is about how to get from being ok to being ecstatic. no, it qualifies as a war within yourself. in Koran, it is called Jihad. you can call it the holly war, you can sugarcoat as much as you want, but it is still a stage way before spirituality. it doesn't build anything new, it just destroys the old. is it necessary? absolutely! is it spiritual? nah. your definition of mantra sucks. I could give you the proper definition, but I'm sure you can do at least better yourself. Mantra if properly performed can remove some obstacles, but it is not the purpose of mantra. mantra is most effective when there are no obstacles. when it can flow freely. I wish you do not need to fight. that you are the winner without fighting. and yeah, I hope it is clear.

Thank you. That was necessary for me.
Wow! Dada where did you learn all this? I too want to learn all this

This is especially true in unforgiveness 🙏

Maintaining health and energy allows you to focus on meditation and spiritual development. Loving, caring, and actively serving others also promotes spiritual and physical well-being. Spiritual socialism embraces active service and love of neighbor as key components of a healthy lifestyle.
Thus, overcoming long-term illnesses requires a holistic approach that includes healthy eating, meditation practice, maintaining energy and taking care of spiritual and physical well-being. But we still do suggest to consult a specialist doctor first.

Thank you Dada, you are a great inspiration.
Should one accept failure? I am constantly struggling to do the right thing, yet my victories are small...
It's not that I don't know what's right, but more that I am unwilling to let go of that little bird. Should I accept this? Do I continue my practice in acceptance of my limitations? I feel the clash within but with every failure I forgive myself. Will this forgiveness slow my liberation? Within this forgiveness, will my courage grow or will it diminish? Does forgiveness diminish the clash? Am I wrong to believe that letting go of the outcomes of my clashes, in victory or failure, is the proper way?
Thank you Dada...
@ Jimmy Doyle 🌱💜🌱✌️🌱🤔Same here,I understand !Whats the right thing to do?All Ansers are relativ,our Problem we don’t know most off the time,what’s 🌱🤔😢right to do!Every failure is a stepping Stone to wake up,it to go an and trye a nother way👍👍
Namaskar Jimmy, our approach to life should be subjective approach through objective adjustment. Meaning that our goal is a subjective one (spiritual liberation). What we may consider a failure or clash, are opportunities for us to learn and grow and often make us stronger. Vádhá sá yus'amáná shaktih sevyam' sthápayati laks'ye.
(Obstacles are the helping forces that establish one in the goal). What is most important is what we learn from our mistakes and 'failures', will keeping our mind focussed on a higher goal.
I think you are very nice

Can you say the mantra even if you still are struggling with worldy habits(smoking now 5to 7cigs aday use to be 20,and on a form of suboxone )so im wondering if i should ir should not do mantra.Ty this video hits straight home for me.❤
Help me help please my guru you please suffering
This is why Jesus said it is harder for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God than a camel to pass through the eye of the needle. the needle by the way is a gate in Israel. he did not mean the needle kind of needle. And a clash by definition is not easy, it is hard. or a struggle as you say. When our egos die we realize that our suffering has also died.
Dada Namaskarm ! Baba naam kevalam. Dada , I have a question.
You have suggested to create a motive for spiritual seeking. Is it mandatory ? Can We create simple goal ? And should we hang on to that even in second stage which is veerachara?
The problem with single goals is that they are getting fulfilled to quickly. It is best to have the Infinite Goal.
my way to create preasure is to to cold showers and bodybuilding
And some meditations
Cause i think pain is essential for life and growth its like it is God itself The Love of pain
Or do i just missunterstand somenthing ? Or i am too crazy ?
Can you please activate english subtitles ? ;)

I do meditation because i want to look good hahaha :D
You had me until the mantra being the highest form of spiritual practice bit. I did mantra meditation for years and it was a complete waste of time.
suffering is not discomfort. suffering starts when you are antagonistic about this discomfort. when you say it is ok, it's just that - discomfort. the same is with the pain. when you accept the pain, it is just pain. when you are against the pain, then you suffer.
no. if the push comes from outside, it is of no big value. because it will always be goal-oriented. once the goal is reached, no more push. real push happens always from the inside. then it can be permanent. I'm not saying it is permanent, I'm saying it has the potential to be permanent.
all these stages of suffering sound like complete rubbish to me. spirituality is not for people who suffer. get your life in order and in line and then we can discuss Yoga or other spiritual paths.
spirituality is not a therapy. when you are perfectly ok, and still, something is missing, it is more like a longing or a calling, the thirst that can not be satisfied, that is a beginning of spirituality.
maybe now i understand what you mean by stages. but the first two stages are not spiritual in my books.
all those reasons are wrong. and remember, if you do even the right thing for the wrong reason, you will not get very far. when the need arises it is just there for no reason. it comes without an invitation and once it is there, it is there to stay. you can not make it, you can not force it, it is there or it is not. if you try to force it, you will do more damage than good.
i would suggest that you take a pen and paper and write down 100 times,:: circumstantial pressure is irrelevant. now jokes aside, this kind of pressure is needed in the preliminary stages and I would not call them really spiritual. and why? because it has much more to do with the material world than with anything else.
clash is a technique used mostly by Zen Buddhism. it creates the situation when your mind is clashing with itself. it is kind of a shortcut, but it works only for a few.
you are making a very simple phenomenon very complicated. once you hear that inner calling, once you discover and live this vacuum, even though your life is in perfect order, but there is still something missing, once you feel that thirst, there your spiritual journey begins. unless you are an incarnation, then it is already on the moment you were born.
oh, pleasure now always wins with me. actually, anything now wins all the time. Atha my friend, always atha.
another mantra for you: "fuck the heroes". 100 times each day for 1 year. maybe it can help you to get rid of your dualistic views. one can only hope. maybe it can help you to see beyond positive and negative.
suffering is the poison and as you said, poison in, poison out.
no, why the present moment is so valuable is: there is no suffering, it can not exist in the present moment. there can be pain or discomfort, but no suffering. suffering needs comparison. no past, no future, no comparison. Atha is the very first word in Patanjali's Yoga Sutras for a reason. if you are fully established in now, there is no more suffering for you. with the first word, 90% of the journey is done. the rest 10% is about how to get from being ok to being ecstatic.
no, it qualifies as a war within yourself. in Koran, it is called Jihad. you can call it the holly war, you can sugarcoat as much as you want, but it is still a stage way before spirituality. it doesn't build anything new, it just destroys the old. is it necessary? absolutely! is it spiritual? nah.
your definition of mantra sucks. I could give you the proper definition, but I'm sure you can do at least better yourself. Mantra if properly performed can remove some obstacles, but it is not the purpose of mantra. mantra is most effective when there are no obstacles. when it can flow freely.
I wish you do not need to fight. that you are the winner without fighting. and yeah, I hope it is clear.
Am I living or just burnt out negative karma?!
Haha
