Your opinion is fine with me. But for me it's different. For me it's very effective, actually even more so than with many human readers. But I still would prefer very good readers to an AI. So you can see this as bridging the gap until someone with a really good pronunciation finally reads this book aloud. But of course, if it's not listenable for you, then this channel is simply not for you.

@@spiritual_audiobooks I appreciate you posting it and i'm glad you and others aren't distracted. Thanks!

Thank you for your comment! For myself, I started this channel also because I'm not happy with the pronunciation of some of the real people who read aloud on YT. But there are also a few good readers I would prefer to AI, but unfortunately in most cases they didn't read the books I was looking for.

What's the problem? Just go to the human version, This book is for those who prefer the AI version. For those who prefer real people, there has been a version for a long time, you can find it on the channel ‘COFFEE WITH BUDDHA’ (Live). Have fun and relax !

Thank you for your comment. You are very welcome 🙏

Thank you. I'm glad that you like it🙏

I wish you all the best. And always observe and be aware when your separate self speaks. The Separate Self (Ego) is the cause of all your suffering and awareness of it helps you to dissolve it.

Everything, the seemingly good, the seemingly bad appears in your consciousness. So everything is consciousness. When you are asleep there are no more ‘disturbing things’ for you. Others are also consciousness, but they usually don't recognise themselves as such, which allows them to do seemingly disturbing things. But your ego cannot judge what it might be good for in the long run. The world cannot be other than it is, and as Ramana says, leave it to the one who created the world how to run the world. Talks with Sri Ramana Maharshi", Talk 135: Q.: What do you consider to be the cause of world suffering? And how can we help to change it? A.: Realise the Real Self. It is all that is necessary. Talk 107: Q.: Why should there be suffering? A.: Who suffers? What is suffering? - - - (Note from me: not you, but your ego suffers).

If that's a pity, I have good news for you: the book read by man has been available on RUclips for a long time. Just look for "Silence of the Heart" at the "COFFEE WITH BUDDHA" Channel.

Hmm. I’m in an hour or so with thru this AI reading and either it’s really good or not really an AI… is it??

@@goldmine4955 Thank you for saying "it’s really good". But it is really AI 🙂 (Open Source Piper TTS ). But it still takes a lot of time to achieve such a result. Among other things, I listened through the whole book once and eliminated all the weaknesses I found. All in all, a book with so few weaknesses takes a good 20 hours of work. But when the text is finished, the computer only needs 30 minutes to calculate these 12 hours Audio.

@@spiritual_audiobooksthanks for sharing so openly, and for describing the transcription process so thoroughly🙏 Most RUclips channels I follow tend to only answer with a heart and seem to have a different intention behind sharing their content than what you have. You just got a new subscriber🙏❤️

@@norwegianhero Thank you for your kind reply. The beginning was actually that I had only produced the audiobooks for my own use, as I couldn't find most of the audiobooks I was longing for. Especially all the books by Jean Klein and of Ramana Maharshi and some of his disciples. But I produced them quickly and I could live with the weaknesses. My girlfriend then had the idea that maybe other people would also like to listen to the books. I was unsure at first, but after a few months of uncertainty, I just started and when the first positive comments came in, I started to enjoy it and and put more work into it.

Thank you for your comment. I'm glad you like it so much 🙂

My ability to pronounce sanskrit correctly is unfortunately not as good as my ability to pronounce english acceptably.

@@spiritual_audiobooks These are in english only. You don't need to pronounce the shlokas, you can just say the number. Or may be if possible, display on screen, I know it's an extra effort. But these are really good translations, rare.

​@@ExtraWork-n7uOkay, please give me a list of the books you mean (without links, otherwise YT will suppresses the comment), I will then read them and see if they fit into this channel. Do you mean the books I can find in the wikpiedia article "Satyanarayana_Dasa" ? The books are in English but I think there are a lot of Sanskrit words in them.

You are very welcome 🙏

Thank you for your beautiful comment. 🙏

Thanks for your lovely comment. I'm happy that you found this channel.

This is the complete book. This was explained in another comment.

@spiritual_audiobooks thank you for the response. I'm curious to know what book was used for this audiobook? As the original book is 2 volumes with 75 chapters and over 1,500 pages. It's bigger than his commentary on the Bhagavad Gita, God Talks With Arjuna.

@@tomcanseco Read through causalbliss's comments, below this video. You will find the answer there, which causalbliss can describe better than I can.

@spiritual_audiobooks ok I read it and understand now. I think the confusion many of us have is with the picture and title chosen for this video, which is the name and book cover art of the 2 volume exposition. Thank you for the clarification!

@@tomcanseco I'm not sure if you've understood it correctly. The book here has the original title "THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST - From the Original Unchanged Writings of Paramhansa Yogananda’s Interpretations of the Sayings of JESUS CHRIST"

Do you only listen to books by paramahamsa yogananda? Because this Kaanal also has other good audiobooks, many of which I think are even clearer or go even deeper than those by paramahamsa yogananda.

Thanks for your Comment. It is read by Piper TTS github.com/rhasspy/piper

It's undoubtedly digital voice or AI. Nonetheless, these are very potent books 😅

Yes obviously digital voice and no doubt put together by AI, who would spend all those hours writing or reading such incredibly repetitive nonsense mixed with few spiritual truths !

​@shankarachela Your ego is reacting in a hateful manner toward your true self. Our ego have been in control all our life and it's not going to go out without a fight.

I agree You have to be ready to really hear the truth.

I'm very pleased to read that. It's wonderful to know that the audiobooks are appreciated. ♥🙏

Thank you for you comment. I have just added the chapters.

Thank you 🙏♥️

Yeah! The knowledge of this body (and the world that comes with it) is hell!... That we choose it unconsciously in the past, for ourselves (like fools)! Because of the ignorance of the mind (and desire) that wants to be and be and be ... It multiples like a lustful rabbit, in this samsara of impermanence and ignorance that is 'without the beginning that has en end'! As the Buddhists say. Bless you! 🙏

@@maitreyabadra2267Brilliant answer. WOW, may I please ask where you learned this?

😊😊😊

You have experienced a lot of emotional pain in your life, my darling, and it is showing up in your body as anger and hatred.

His ramblings do come across a little rapid fire but I think that’s mostly the audio’s fault. As a book or spoken slowly this ultimate truth spoken in many different declarations comes through the person when they are meditating on these words. The substance seems like it’s not there because that’s exactly it, all substance comes out of emptiness. This is just what someone with a rather big spiritual awakening sounds like when talking about the i. 5 grams of psilocybin will also get you to speak this way.

You laugh mockingly at what the wise one laughs at knowingly. The lack of substance and meaning is the point, actually. It’s not incompetence of speech. That is the point! Inherent meaninglessness is the Absolute freedom haha.

But AI is in oneness 😀

Thank you, that makes me happy. I would also like to mention that this channel also has other good audiobooks, many of which I think are even clearer or go deeper than those of paramahamsa yogananda.

Thank you for your comment. And I'm glad you found some beautiful pointers. 🙏🏻

You are welcome. I hope you like it 🙂

Thank you for sharing your story with us. It's a pleasure for me to read it. 🙏☺

I am very pleased that you like it. ♥

Your comment really means a lot to me. I like Jean Klein so much too, and one of the reasons I started the channel is that others could find him too. The other books I have uploaded I also really appreciate, but Jean Klein and Annamalei Swami have a special place.

I also hear this problem with other readers: either the Sanskrit is correct, but then the English sounds strange or vice versa. I hope someone will soon publish these audiobooks with correct pronunciation throughout. Maybe you know someone who would be able to do this? Reading aloud more slowly, on the other hand, is easier. Would you like longer pauses between sentences or words pronounced more slowly?

@@spiritual_audiobooks @maitryabadra2267 Both points are valid. Yet, correct pronunciation remains correct. Whether it be by longer pauses, reading aloud, or whatever it takes. The material Maharaj discusses here is deserving of correct pronunciation, simply due to the fact the lack thereof creates a distraction from what is being discussed, or perhaps a unintentional compromise of its integrity. Thank you for doing what you do.

@@user-ik8dz9et5l Of course Maharaj discusses deserving of correct pronunciation. I therefore hope that someone will be found as soon as possible to carry this out to everyone's satisfaction. Then I will delete all my videos. But until then I will leave them online, as they may be helpful for a few people despite the weaknesses you have recognised..
