Krishna taught that one should lbe committed to action, but not be attached to the outcome. He also taught that the world is an illusion and we shouldn't become attached to what isn't real. Osho taught that attachment leads to suffering. He said "If you love a flower, don’t pick it up. Because if you pick it up it dies, and it ceases to be what you love. So if you love a flower, let it be. Love is not about possession. Love is about appreciation." He also said to be in the world, but not of the world. Be mindful that it's all just an illusion.

Learning isn't a bad thing, but imagine that you're thirsty and someone gives you a bottle of water. It's great water, and the label describes where the water came from, how it was extracted, how it was bottled and you read and learn all about it. You'll never know the true meaning of water until you actually take off the lid and drink it.

He does tend to get right to the point sometimes, doesn't he? Thanks for your comment, Ravi!

Nirvana teaches that eating meat and having sex does not affect meditation. Not being aware while doing either does affect meditation.

Absolutely! The teacher only points the way and identifies the obstacles that are in the way. The rest is up to the student.

He does have a way of doing that 🙂

Thanks for your comment. What's your understanding of Zen?

@@Nirvana.CommunityI answered twice but the comment is not in here. You will have to study yourself to understand why you incorrect about Zen.

There are paths that aren't even aware of the Bhagawd Gita, and many of them ultimately lead to the truth. We must remember that all scriptures are written by man, and we shouldn't cling to any of them.

Only your own mind is the source of your insights and ultimate wisdom.

It's not a simulation, it's self-hypnosis.

Thank you for sharing your wonderful insights! 🙏

Yes!

Everything is thoughts. When you can get still enough and quiet enough to experience no thoughts, the body goes with the thoughts, and you experience consciousness. Consciousness lies beyond thoughts.

We're working on it! Hopefully internet fiber is coming our way this year.

Beautiful comments, thank you!

Sometimes words get in the way….seeking in this instance is more of a clearing out of everything we’ve accumulated that hides our true nature. It’s still seeking, just seeking within. Good question ❤

You’re correct. A thought is not a particle. What he is saying is that thoughts are powerful…so powerful they can create and destroy.

He's always reading a book, and right now he is reading Dante's "The Divine Comedy." Yes, Nirvana has studied the Astavakra Gita. Thanks for your comments!

If we can accept that consciousness is primary, then it isn't hard to see that thoughts come before the body. It is infinitely easier for consciousness to generate a thought as opposed to creating a body. Body is a more complex thought. What we recognize as body is simply a collection of the most repetitive thoughts.

@@Nirvana.Community Thank you for the reply. I understand the greater simplicity of thoughts and therefore the likeliness of their preceding existence in relation to the body. Can you elaborate further on how a body is a collection of most repetitive thoughts, rather than a collection of various differing thoughts?

@@alexp.s.4419 You are what you think. The more you think about something the chances increase for it to become reality. Random, different thoughts don't have as much impact.

Various differing thoughts are not necessarily random, though. They could work in association even though they are not the same. Which makes me wonder if there is really a greater likelihood of a thought becoming something more by it being repeated or by it being associated with a variety of other, possibly supportive, thoughts. In my personal experience, repetitive thoughts tend to dissuade me from continuing to engage with them and therefore to make something more of them. This situation regarding repetitive thoughts is more often expressed in me through boredom or annoyance, and therefore avoidance, than it is expressed through creativity, and therefore transformation. So your statements regarding thoughts and reality are foreign to me, although I can relate to some extent to the cumulative (but negative) impact of repetitive thoughts. I'm still interested in understanding the possibility of a body being formed by repetitive thoughts, instead of being disturbed by them. If you have any more insights that could help me to understand that perspective, I'd like to know them. Thank you for the time and attention that you are giving to this discussion. I really appreciate it. (Reposting with a different version of my last post because it seems RUclips did not register it and I could only recover part of it and had to rewrite the end. This disclaimer is in the case the other post resurfaces and it seems doubled, although it is not. )

You're right, thoughts are not physical. The point is that they have a huge impact on what we perceive as physical. Thanks for the comment!

Enlightenment is that moment when you experience yourself as a pure being without the interference of the mind and the body. Nirvana has spent the last 10 years in meditation. He is sharing his personal experience. Each moment of existence is complete, if you can experience something without the body, then it simply means that the body, just like thoughts, comes and goes. The fact that it is possible for you to be lost in a dream, without awareness of the body, means that you are not your body. You are something more.

@@Nirvana.Communityindeed I am amazed by the sharing on this channel. However, awareness within a dream is probably fuelled by the brain and body. To have a dream experience, there is a need for energy of some sort. I take your point about what Enlightenment may be, though of course I have not experienced it so don't know about it. But the thoughts or awareness or experience of the dream cannot so easily be inferred to be out of the body or away from the body as you make it out to be. Deeply grateful. An avid fan of this channel and deeply respectful of every word you say and every idea and experience that you share 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

@@DevendraTak I think you have a very good point about the energy required for awareness and it made me consider some possibilities. A body can be understood as an energetic storage holding the capacity for the release of energy as needed for experiential enactment. With that definition in mind, we can postulate that there are many kinds of bodies besides our conventional understanding of individual (wakeful or dreaming) bodies. For example, there may be collective bodies of some sort that can sustain individual awareness without an individual body, which could explain how we as aware beings are not necessarily dependent on our individual bodies for an experience of awareness. This possibility wouldn't need to conflict with the experience of enlightenment either, since the concept of the experience of enlightenment is usually referring to the transformation of individual experience towards something less or more than individual, or even altogether to a transformation most naturally individual.

We don't have one life. The body dies, but "you" don't. We'll just keep doing it over and over again until we figure it out. Nirvana is when you figure it out. No one says that life is worse after Nirvana - all the enlightened teachers say it's the most beautiful thing they've ever experienced. You still have emotions, you still have a body, you can still drive a car, go on vacation.... all that, but after Nirvana you understand life completely and then you can play with life and when this body's time is up, you just merge into consciousness and don't have to fool with losing a body every few years.

have fun!

@@Nirvana.CommunityWe will never understand life completely

There is no difference between a person seeking nirvana or a person seeking materialistic things. At the end of the day you are always in search of something and seeking something. Why seek something which you are not sure exists, while you can make use of the present life and live it to the fullest

@@rahulk8251 You do have a point. This is where one chooses between the red pill and the blue pill.

Thank you for the beautiful comment......

Nirvana is harsh sometimes, but he always speaks the truth. 🙏

Everything we experience while still in this realm is part of our dream, so if a person "dies" but really doesn't die, then yes, a near-death experience is part of the dream. Death is a subjective experience of an individual. Only when one transcends the dream through awakening can they consciously move beyond the dream.
