There is nothing in this world, including this body. When people are frustrated, they say, 'Oh, there is nothing in the world. There is dejection. There is nothing - nowhere to go. Everything is false. There is nothing I can hold onto; nothing I can love. All is empty. The whole world is empty, there is nothing anywhere.' A dejected, frustrated mind also feels that way. In an utter state of despair, it says, 'There is nothing, so where do I go? The mind is tired of going anywhere.' Janaka was talking about the same state, but with...

This is all present in me, and still it is not present in me.' If a scholar, reads this, he'll find it thoroughly confusing! One without any experience will throw this book out and say it doesn't make nay sense. He'll say the author must have been a crazy person. He'll say, this book is so self-contradictory he can't make any sense out of it. It makes no sense; that is why it is Truth. The mind has a peculiar nature. It desires something, and when it acquires or achieves it, it no longer finds it interesting. It drops it, and moves away from it, because he can't stand being totally in t...

All the illusions fall off. All imaginations in the mind drop off, and you recognize that you are peace; you are pure. चिद्रसोऽमलम् । You are the ever pure consciousness. न मे बन्धोऽस्ति मोक्षो वा । There was no liberation, because there was no bondage in the first place. Only if I was bound, would I have to thrive for liberation. Nothin...

When you read it the other way, it means मन । मनः is mind. नमः is the reversal of mind. When the mind dies, love dawns. Whenever there is love, the mind dies and this is painful. That is why love always brings pain with it. Something in you is dissolving - the ego, the mind - and this dissolving is painful. And so lovers often rebel. The mind does not want to dissolve. It wants to emphasize its existence. It wants to show that it is something, too! And it doesn't want to bear the pain of dissolution, the pain is unbearable. नमः is...

Janaka said, 'There is none cleverer than me'. Remember this. For Janaka to utter this was a revolution, as he was the most humble. The king, filled with humility, the personification of humility, suddenly said that there was no-one more skilled than he was, ever! When you bow down to your Self, you have bowed down to everything in the universe. All your stiffness and resistance - the diving factors in you - have disappeared. From solid ice, you have become vapour. You have vapourised. Vapours have no obstruction, they move. What is your problem? Why are you s...

You call the unseen God and you call the seen your Self. You see that I exist, you call that Self. And you call the solid form you see in front of you, Guru. What is unseen through the eyes, we call God. You have not seen your Self fully (partially seen) but you can't say you do not know you exist. You know that you exist, you partially know your Self. You know you want this, you don't want that. You know that you are nobody. That is Self. And what you see fully through your eyes in front of you, is Guru. From seen, to unseen, is just...

This Self in me, this space in me, this being in me, is indestructible. Even though this whole universe may change, stones may change over a period of time, but I am indestructible. There is nothing outside me." अहो अहं नमो मह्यं । He bowed down and went on with this for some time. It was such a strong realization at the feet of Ashtavakra that he couldn't only say it once and keep quiet! 'This hollow and empty is what I see in front of me, at my side, above me, below...

They meditated very sincerely every day, and they attained mukti. One day while sitting in the royal garden, the queen said to the king, 'You know, I only love myself. I don't even love you, I only love myself.' And the King got down and prostrated in front of her. He felt so happy that the queen had acknowledged her true realization that she loved only herself and nothing else. If it was some other king, he would have thrown get out of the palace and imprisoned her. But the King did not do that. He was so happy to hear that. He replied, that he, too, loved only himself. He loved others and other things because they were his. He...

There is water all around the pot and inside the pot. The water is in every pore of the mud pot. In that way, I am present throughout this universe. Janaka was astonished! He felt that, as he was empty and hollow, so too was the person in front of him and the person sitting to his left. That everyone was the same! Every single being - they were all the same inside, in the innermost core. It just takes skill to see that the person standing before you, ...

He said, 'I see God the moment I drop the world and this body'. This has been interpreted by people in various ways, all around the world, at all times. People have said : 'You will reach the abode of God when you drop this body.' Or, 'When you die and go to heaven or hell, there will be a doomsday, and you will be asked at a court-martial what you did right and wrong, and you will be punished and rewarded by God.' That is all we understand about God, or about life afterwards. Mayadhuna. By me now. Parityajya sashariramidam vishwam. Renouncing this world and the body right now, I am with God. We never drop our body; the body drops us. Do you d...

At the center of our bodies resides a long, sinewy nerve that extends all the way from our medullas down through our chests to beyond our stomachs. This nerve, known as the Vagus Nerve( chitamani), happens to be at a most fascinating intersection, not only between our two physical nervous systems (our central and autonomic nervous systems) but also between our conscious minds and subconscious minds. As such, it also acts as a bridge between our gross bodies and our subtle bodies The Vagus nerve regulates several mechanisms like anxiety and the fight or flight response, immune system defense and digestion. When the Vagus nerve is not functioning at 100% it can be causing poor health such as digestive issues, hormone imbalances and chronic diseases. Q:  Gurudev, can you please talk about the chintamani in the center of the brain, and the tip of the nose, where the subtle body is connected to the physical body? Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankarji Scientists say that the tip of ...
