Self study= Introspection/Contemplation or Determination/Alertness of mind. Degree of transformation of life is directly proportional to tranquility of mind. Practice of self study or watching thought flow (WTF) is essential for transformation.

**How to achieve equanimity (equipoise state) of mind* ? (Lecture notes) * 1.Pain and Pleasure 2. Success and Failure 3.Fame and Disrespect 4. Pride and Blame All these steal away our equanimity (equipoise) of mind. *Solutions* : 1. Try to balance your emotions with *all living beings* . e.g You should look upon your son and your enemy as equal. This is a long practice and things will change slowly. Excessive attachment with body, relatives, friends and people you love is not good. 2. Balance your emotions with all inanimate (non living) things. e. g. Excessive attachment with objects of possesion is not good. Objects in my possession like car, house, money etc are there today, tomorrow it may not be there. This is all impermanent. Thinking on these lines brings non attachment. 3. Remember Law of Karma: "Whatever you sow so shall you reap" . You are the maker of your own fate - Swami Vivekananda. Your present situation in life is nothing but the result of your own past karmas. Thinking on these lines brings non attachment. No need to blame any one. Be good and do good to everyone. 4. Have good company: Stay away from crazy people. Those people who have deep sense of belongings with body, relatives or worldly objects, power, position and money are crazy people. You should live in the company of cool people. This is importance of Satsanga - cool people. 6. In the quest of happiness we must remember that sensual gratification leads to excitement of mind. This is dangerous for our equanimity of mind. Equanimity means calmness, peacefulness, equanimous mind has love and compassion for other human beings. Equanimity is ground for freedom and wisdom.

Pronams Maharaj.

It is called God is always with us. How can we realise it ?

Please l0👍

Hey, Swami Amartyananda Ramkrishna Mission. it's extremely delightful video. thank. :)

Very important issues took today. Subtle points give solution to the root cause. Thank you very much

Gratitude for SDM Training Swami ji. This all would have been a mere fantasy without it. Gratitude. Infinite Gratitude. :) :) :)

Now slowly modern science is recognizing the role of spirit in overall human health, human well-being and as well as in the coping ability of an individual under a situation of distress. Hence, terms such as spiritual health, spiritual distress and spiritual care have become part of the modern medical science.

Lovely... constant practice & faith :) :) Practice, practice, practice... faith, faith, faith... yes... :) Thank you Swami ji. And to avoid arrogance .... appreciating others... supporting others... staying humble... recognizing mistakes... plus "God has brought this" - this feeling helps tremendously. Gratitude for these priceless lessons. :) :)

Swami ji... Anxiety is a habit... this has been my learning. Most people who suffer from anxiety, I have found, have lived either a pampered or over protected life. Notional fears due to lack of correct understanding of the true purpose of life clubbed with company of other anxious people who they falsely presume as their role models brings them to this habit. Also i have seen that very few can gather courage to come out of this habit even when they may be able to recognize it completely. Very strong resolve is needed to break this habit. Yet if someone tries and doesn't quit trying, success is assured... detachment can learned... Gratitude for your SDM training.

Indeed emotional distress is the key reason behind all such extreme steps. Also absolutely correct that... We have to change the direction of our love... Hope more people understand this. Thank you Swami ji for highlighting.

Very few people can understand this difference. For most job skill is the main focus of life. And by the time most people realize the significance of life skills, a great deal of life has already passed. Yet thankfully a beginning in acquiring life skills can be made at any point in life. Thus everyone must make an effort towards that goal for their own good and peace of mind as well as for true spiritual growth. Thank you Swami ji for gifting us this wisdom long ago. It is this training which has been so helpful. Gratitude. Infinite Gratitude.

"I am doing God's work"... very practical and powerful way to change our attitude and be blissful as well. Thank you Swami ji for this timely reminder. Gratitude. :)

Management of Negative Thoughts - indeed the most important advantage of introspection. Thank you Swami ji for showing us this path. Every step of SDM training indeed has been driven by introspection. "All negative thoughts are borrowed from outside." Excellent reminder. :)

Most powerful teachings for Self Development... Actual "to do" formula, and very relevant questions followed Thank you very much

Watching Thought Flow (WTF) is a method of introspection. This method is nicely described by Swami Amartyananda in his book -"Effective Life Management". This book is available on Amazon and Kindle.

Following questions to be answered with everyday introspection (as suggested by Swami Amartyananda) 1. Am I using my time wisely? 2. Am I living to increase my standard of life or standard of living? 3. Am I waking up in the morning to take on the day? 4. Am I thinking about the negative thoughts? 5. Am I achieving the set of goals set by myself?

This way our entire day and each karma becomes Spiritual Practice

Bahunani prathama, bahunani dwitiya - applying this instruction, it helps us to uplift our mind from adham (worst or low) level. Question is what happens to mind when we we (mind) feel lowly and someone asks us to surrender to God/resign to God. Swami Amartyananda explained that resignation/surrender to God is a very higher spiritual stage. When mind is completely free from worldly desires of enjoyment or passions like lust-greed- anger- jealousy then only it is possible to surrender to God. Till then we have to try Bahunani prathama, bahunani dwitiya to uplift our mind to achieve some balance. Since mind is full of worldly desires resignation/surrender to God is not possible for beginners in spirituality.

Humble and Self-Confident

To summarise, here are a few suggestions which may prove useful to you: 1. Get up at one time each day. 2. Practice watching thought flow for at least 10 minutes at the same time every morning and evening. 3. Avoid all gossip or idle chit-chat at work. Stop misuse of eyes and ears while you are in the bus/train, in office, etc. 4. Avoid bad company and if this is not possible, then at least do not participate in useless, foul discussion or jokes. 5. Maintain a diary in which one can jot down time wasted and properly utilised throughout the day so that proper record is available of our spiritual progress. Make it a point to read diary every day. 6. No object can give you joy or sorrow, pleasure or pain. It is the attachment to the object that gives joy and sorrow. 7. Keep yourself busy all the time. Do not misuse your leisure time. 8. Daily chant at least 10 times- “I am not the body, I am spirit”. Always remember you have infinite power. 9. Daily chant at least 10 times- “All things, near and dear to me are subject to change, decay and separation. I cannot avoid it”. 10. Daily chant at least 10 times- “Joy is outcome of miseries and miseries are the outcome of joy. Both joy and miseries are transitory, not permanent”. I am confident that if each one of us tries his or her best to follow these steps, they will see a definite and positive change in their lives. - Swami Amartyananda

Swami ji always teaches using such simple analogies. If any student is merely alert or even inquisitive enough then they can easily take these clues, practice and change their life forever. Nothing shall remains out of bounds. Gratitude.

In current times i have seen many people take mantradiksha from various gurus and still struggle in life. This is mostly due to lack of practice. Hence diligent practice with utmost devotion is the key.

"Blessed Sufferings" This beautiful, powerful & simple expression given by Swami ji long ago has helped me always. Can never forget. Gratitude.

Very subtle and important guidance

"Initiation/Mantradiksha" -Complex concept simplified in very simple language with examples by Swami Amartyananda. Thank you Swamiji. 🙏

If we have no biased or prejudiced opinion about the world (no desire, expectation) then we have no sufferings. - Swami Amartyananda. 😊🙏

Spiritual aspirant through his/her prayers and spiritual practice slowly develops power to ignore sufferings. - Swami Amartyananda

Spiritual aspirants learns following things from sufferings (as per Swami Amartyananda) 1. Failure and disease teaches them humility 2. Unsolved problems and crisis keep them resigned to God. 3. This humility helps the spiritual aspirants to develop patience and forgiveness.

Complex issues explained very simply. Thank you Swami ji🙏

"Practice, Practice, Practice'... and everything comes on its own gradually. Thank you Swami ji.

"He lives alone who lives for others, everyone else is dead more than alive" - Swami Vivekananda. If we have no love for others (other human beings) then we are dead (already) as per Swami Vivekananda.

Very simple straight and powerful. Very valuable guidance. Thank you very much Maharaj 🙏🙏🌺😊

1. "Attitude towards matter (Women/Money)" matters; 2. Seeing the "Imperishable" in the matter; 3. Understanding the "Capacity of Mind" - 3 excellent points explained so beautifully by Swamiji - All 3 achievable by Practice, Practice, Practice. Thank you Swami ji. Thank you Dr. Dikshit.

Introspection leads to conviction

Introspection may give solution to lot many problems of our life... SDM gives strength to Introspection.

Imagination Vs Reality. Psychological dependence. Need for deep introspection- leads to intellectual conviction- that- this is good for me. God reliant. Do or die.

Thank you Swami ji for guiding us so nicely. Thank you for teaching us SDM and helping us experience the 3 levels of mind and the experience of "endless joy". Gratitude.
