Excellent post! You have inspired me to read and study the Mandukya Upanishad and the Karika. With all the craziness going on in the world today, it is hard to remain detached and uninvolved. But of course, this is what is most needed.
Nameste, Jason. Awesome insight and meaningful explanation for going within. As challenging as the world and it's influence can be. Really making a commitment to being consistent meditating. Thank you! Shanti! Shanti! Shanti!
That’s something worth looking in to, it sounds relatable but I’m gonna have to listen and read much more before I know anything. Tbh I wouldn’t mind longer form versions of a lot of your talks and subjects. Thanks for sharing, as always 🙏
Wow this was perfectly explained. It shows you know the subject well and have experienced this for yourself by how you present it. Thank you so much Jason 🌹 Shanti🙏 Shanti🙏 Shanti🙏
Thank You Jason, World needs this kind of ancient teaching. But it require alot of self practice and discipline. I believe you in that status. God Bless you, Best Wishes for your book, i am too going to order one
@yoeyyoey8937 only.if you consider that to be "making effort." It is easy for a skillful person to be skillful. It is easy for a wicked person to be wicked.
It’s remembering to asparsha yoga in maya. Doing asparsha yoga, then someone else’s agenda bus comes and takes you away. Thanks for posting this really hit home.

Hi Self, Probably I needed this. But, You have to relax. Please take some time with self. I am one of your biggest admirers, I have to write this as I don't you to take it otherwise. Om Shanti Shanti Shanti.
Awesome video ! I love it so much . Thank you for sharing . What is the origin of spiritual minds ? I had meet its many times in my life , but I hadn't seen it's form yet . I think that , the spiritual minds manifest sometimes in the world . One time , the spiritual mind had entered in my heart , then I had known all of person's mind , when they had been near me . I had known , where they had come from , and where they had gone etc. I hadn't to ask them . This spiritual mind had been with me only one day , and it had been dispappeared . Then , I had been sorry . If it had been with me all of my life , I can know all human's mind , and animals , birth etc. indeed . I had weet it in year 2008 . Happy week to you !
One of my longtime favourite things - Asparsha, the yoga of non-contact. Well presented. But I disagree that it has anything whatever to do with anyhing the mind does or can do. It is pure consciousness in its most abstract state, which is experienced as the field of Unity, which is only known to Atman in its most detached state. There are many degrees of knowing Atman which can only be known through the individuality. How much depends on how open we are to it. But when it swells in its most advanced state like a breaking river, it rises up in its most subtle state and dominates matter, dominates form in consciousness because the identification with Atman is so strong. Nothing changes in form; but everything changes in consciousness which becomes predominant in awareness. Then we can say as pure consciousness, oh, that is me; and that is me; and that also is me. So the inner illumination from self-realisation, when we become the transcendent Knower of knowing, which was within, runs out into the world in its ultimate expression of Godhead, in its absolute purity. But even this is just setting the stage for knowing Brahman. "The knower of Brahman becomes Brahman." We still have to cross over from one stage to the next and we have to leave the old behind; and before us is the abyss of not-knowingness and total emptiness, which is why it is said: Yogis fear this. We have to face the Void. Yet with enlightenment the same things goes: we had to let go, collapse, and surrender everything, just for a moment, to transition to the new state. As the Bhagavad Gita states: The Self knows the Self by th Self alone. We do't do anything except transcend our individuality when the Self makes itself known. There is nothing to be done. Meditation merely thins out the ego. It is a spiritual process, not a psychological one. But when you are ready it happens. Thank you for your talk and your work.
Very well presented and informative quite surprising that this stuff is understood, but to make it a reality one has to reach Samadhi, arouse Kundalini, assend all the chakras and totally absorb this Samadhi or the IAM when consciousness becomes Kundalini, and then into Supreme Bindu, cumilating into the non Dual state of PURUSHA, the last part of supreme Bindu is what is feared by some, not that they will have a choice. As the whole Kundalini process is automatic, and the only time there will be access, is when Kundalini is in the highest Samadhi, when one's full consciousness is in the Guru CHAKRA, the SHIVA SHAKTI point, which is below the thousand petal lotus,, but its only from this point that one can you exit through the top centre of the thousand petal lotus, into the premordial state of supreme Bindu onto PURUSHA, which is the start of the eternal Void, or Godhead, but to enter supreme Bindu one must pass death and be totally fearless, which come about from passing through one of the just below chakras, and SHIVA as backup, because you will have become that, but even will fearlessness and SHIVA it is still a perilis journey, and one will shortly look insanity in the face, and there is no doubt if you found yourself there somehoe before you was meant to be there, it could send you Mad as a hatter, that some that have used drugs maybe have found themselves, but it is something to be feared for those not passed the fearlessness state. because there are other things aswel and without being ready for it, you would not be able to handle the pressure.
Where can I read this in Hindi/ Telugu please. I can absorb it better in those mediums . 1. Pushing your agenda on to others is the real selfishness 🤯 2. To truly connect you have to disconnect
Just all names to define what is so you are finally catching up with me i notice a lot of label words don't mean nothing to me awareness of consciousness is all if you want to understand what is infinity chapter 8 tod
Is it possible someone can be a Yogi from a past life and not remember? I ask because as I learn more about Hinduism and Buddhism I come to realize that I've been doing/ being ... pretty much what I am finding out with these subjects.
In Hinduism, as a rough rule, you are born into a womb where one is left off (spiritually or perhaps even demonic). So yes, one can be born a yogi, hence many of the great spiritual masters such as Yogananda.
You have several past life, but not remembering your past life. This is called reincarnation. When you are born, you don't remember your past. But, it is still with you. If you become at a level where you are spiritual advanced like a yogi, you can see what you have been in previous life and many other things you can see. These qualities are dormant by default. The question that we have to ask is, who am I?
the person is the only thing in the way.. u believe your the mental being created in the mind.. that "person" never existed and never will.. u don't need to get rid of {ego} as it never existed.... the intellect protects the "idea of yourself" the "ego" your "identity... "I" all the same" come to a complete stop.. don't move..mind..then tell "where u are" after 3 days of calling out for the "mind to be removed" ananda mayi ma assisted..jai ma
I can't even explain this to other people in my life. I just get criticized all around living in the west. I suppose my attachments to others opinions probably needs to go. Logically I understand but it's impossible to make my mind shed it's attachments to the illusion. Trapped but only realizing there's a light at the end of the tunnel. Sometimes I see glimpses of it but never find it.
There is the 'ONE consciousness' and the 'Power of Transformation'. The individual self has separated from the ONE Consciousness and experiences a temporary reality. From a higher perspective the world does not exist. We are bubbles of consciousness in the divine womb of creation, like stars in the night. The world is like the internet that connects the individual self to an illusory experience. Burn out all your desires. Eliminate the Ego (like an avatar in a video game). Unplug.
So I can have a clear conscious, the Manukya Upanishad makes no reference to Asparśa (अस्पर्श). This Upanishad, like the others, is a commentary on the Vedas. It is only twelve slokas (verses) and references the three sounds of Om (A, U, M), and the three states of mind (waking, dream, dreamless sleep) as well as the Fourth (turiya). But not Asparśa. As Jason mentioned, the Karika is not the Mandukya, but a commentary on the Madukya (which itself is a commentary on the Vedas), written probably either by Shankara or his paramguru, Guadapada (no, not Gautama the Buddha, a different person). But note that there are many commentaries on the Mandukya Upanishad, and Shankara is always going to present a non-dual slant in his commentaries. So we should take care in not giving a strong correlation between Mandukya and Asparśa, as it is not in there. The Mandukya should be read as it is, remembered for its two-fold teachings (i.e. dream metaphor and sound metaphor) and treat commentaries as just more teachings. Please get a good swami or Guru to cover these texts, so that correct interpretation is applied. - Just some guy that enjoys translating ancient Sanskrit texts.
@@yoeyyoey8937Perhaps because it is not really true. It is only a half-truth. It might be closer to the truth to say no one and nobody is here. Except that wouldn't be true either.
The use of the term Yogis here is a little confusing and probably be better described as ascetics or sadhus, because Yoga and Advaita Vedanta are so ineluctably intertwined that to describe a Yogi as dualistic would be an oxymoron. That is apart from the miscreants who followed Madvacharya, but they aren't really Yogis for Yogis are Advaita Vedantists. even the name Yoga means unifying.
This is the limitations of western culture. A Yogi on a known path to Mukti who has a Guru doesn't fear the loss of jiva. We have in western culture a way to end up on the path of Gnana Yoga. Union of the intellect. If you even once have had a taste of Union, the fear is coming from a vivid imagination. The challenge of being on the Path and living in western culture is contradictory to living in a spiritual culture... but we chose it, but it is a lonely journey in the sense of being in a culture that favours the senses. I have found it imperative to be able to live in western cultures to be a better @ experiencing "I am not the body I am not even the mind"🪷🙏

Complete selflessness 🤍
No investment in the interests of the body mind, letting go with complete abandon. 🧘♂️

Is that not a practice?

Thank you Jason ❤ you are an everyday reminder.
Great video... Thank you, Jason... Ultimate reality has a name. It is the lost word.
The lost word in Freemasonry? I think the idea of being "lost" is that is not definable.
You explain it so well. You explain all the seeming confusions and contradictions in the religions of India.
