We are all souls who come to Earth to learn for God. Our parents adopt us from God, because God is placing us in their hands. Therefore, the families we have are just other souls that have been adopted before us. Most of us are taught from a very young age that family ties are above everything else, but as an adult you have to realize it's no one's responsibility to make you happy besides you. So when those same family members became the enemy you must confront it or continue suffering .
I agree with you acharyaji and it is right that not only old age, loss of one or more senses and sickness but even your dear and near ones are also responsible for blocking your spiritual growth. They themselves live in ignorance and want ignorance to continue for ignorance is bliss. They expect certain things from you and specially in our society we are indocrinated into believing that our elders and parens are always right and whatever they want or expect from us is to be followed. Yes certain religions are also impediment to spiritual growth.
thnkyu Acharya ji.. yu are my encouragement. i am somewhere really close to enlightenment.. i had plenty ov satories ..n still having it..n m really feeling detached to the world.. i wil update once i reach to my CORE..
5:48-6:13 HAHA! SO TRUE!!! A lot of what Acharya Shree Yogeesh talked about in this video summed up perfectly my teenage years growing up with zealot religious grand parents who kept telling me, "They didn't know where I went wrong," because I'd read holy books from different religions, besides the Bible, and meditate instead of going to church every Sunday for the rest of my life. Following my own path, was the right thing to do after all.
"YOU NEED A REAL MASTER TO TAKE YOU OUT OF CONFUSION" That is sure ... And to awaken beyond the mind, body, thoughts and emotions you do need the guidance of an AWAKEN MASTER ... Acharya Shree knows...
@ffatali That exactly is spirituality ^_^ using your 5 senses (not only sight) to percieve the world. Not letting what the society made you believe change what you actually see and feel. How things actually are, why we behave the way we do, what's the actual porpuse of something's existance, that is called "truth". And yes, you have to do this on your own, other people (mostly those who interact actively in the society) will, inevitably, change your direction with THEIR standpoint and beliefs
As always, a very wise and true discourse. But the quote "Hell is other people" is not from Nietzsche. The quote "L'enfer, c'est les autres" is from Jean-Paul Sartre's book "No Exit."
I turned 40 years and gave up meat smoking and Alcohol, Took up yoga and meditation and early nights etc. Took my kids to Yoga as well. Wife left me and took kids house and car, Job ended and all friends gave me cold shoulder. Big shock. Hard to keep going when foundation falls away, Choice go back to small life and hell or keep going. Very confusing.
+4444colin Don't give up! It is indeed shocking to see all your foundation fall a part but don't forget that it's happening because you are becoming your greater self. Keep it up!
+4444colin what you describe is very usual when you are in the path. Just keep going on, cleaning bad karma. Material world becomes hard when you are in the right way. If you can assume those bad things you will reach a very peacefull state of mind in the future. I mean, it is like a detox karma diet. Remember that the most important rule is the detachment from material things, thoughts and people.
@ffatali Interacting with people only works if you're surrounded by supportive and helpful people. For me interaction, unfortunately, has quite often meant somebody unloading a load of crap on me. I'm talking about real spiritual toxic waste, like ridicule, hostility and expectations of conformity. Sometimes you also get people who just suck the joy out of everything or who get you tangled up in their problems, which they could solve themselves, if only they were not in love with them.
@shailesh2k1in Tell your parents how much you love them and that this love is unaffected by any future wealth or fitting-into-society-standards they might cling to. This breaks the down-spiral.
He mentions that karma gets in the way.Such as possibly blocking someone else from following their path so yours gets blocked.I do believe in the threefold law but if you are mean't to go that path and you are sincere wouldn't that open the way and disolve the karma? Perhaps through prayer or meditation?
isolating oneself while seeking for truth or enlightenmen will never help you grow, only going out getting suport from wherever one can and interacting with other people will help you grow. i almost killed myself seeking for thruth. duh.. my own experiance stop analising psychoanalising and get help ! the truth is theres no truth. the truth is what i feel see hear taste. thats my story of years of spiritual journey. or shall i say Ego journey. im a bit angry lol and thats fine, god bless!
Alice DeFalco POSSIBILITY is ALWAYS the 1st step for ANY change to happen. dismiss this... and you're stuffed for life... so STOP cutting possibilities in your life.. Here's the visual process of change: Impossibility --> Doubt --> Confusion/Neutral --> Possibility --> Certainty On far left: the old condition/ old you/ old state/ where you are now/ not happy On far right: the new condition/ new you/ new state/ new goal/ new outcome So step 1, "Impossibility" --> "Doubt" means you create doubt in your old ideas, thinking and patterns first. These are "Conclusion" and "Assumptions" you have accepted or made in your life.. Whether they were suggested by others or your own conclusion (consciously and unconsciously) Even for those who are not seeking enlightenment, this is 100% useful for personal development and achievement.. You want to reconsider your limited ideas, thinking and patterns that stop you from what you want to BE/DO/HAVE in life.. This is the first step towards anything really. Cos, the moment someone says it is "impossible", it is equivalent to closing the door/window/river dam.. where no air/water can flow.. And the sad thing is "Whether you think you are Right or you are Wrong, you are RIGHT!" -- Henry Ford. But this is also a good thing right ??! This is also called "Free Will", this is the greatest Gift as a human being.. Use it to believe you're stuck, you are right, and sadly, you are responsible for that too.. We are all responsible for this.. You might not be responsible for the things that others do to you, but you are still responsible to "Change" it.. Don't like something, we can change it.. And impossibility is the greatest enemy for change.. Because it will also become a thinking habit.. So possibility and impossibility should NOT be in our way. The only question is, which habit do you have? Because whichever you choose will manifest itself.
Spirituality is not all about enlightenment. You should do retreats for fun without having awakening as the sole motivation. Well-being helps in many ways. Also, you are old, but if you can go to retreats without issues, then you are not old. age is not exactly a number. You are 80 years old but your physique and health could be that of a 36 year old athlete.

it is my experience that "old age" and "sicknes" and the quality of accepting the present moment as is, has been part of maturing in spirituality.
Yes. I remember getting kicked out of Sunday School because I had too many unspiritual questions

Well, I guess I may as well give up. I'm old. I can't be awakened. No point in going on any more retreats.
***** Utter crap.
