Swamiji, I have a question, If I am a non dual practitioner and understand that everything is a part of brahman, whether it is good or bad, why no gifts, celibacy should be adopted to be a yogi? By denying something am I not giving my mind and thoughts to it? Do you mean these practices are only for yogis who want to be sanyasi? Can I not be a yogi amid my samsara? ...I am your silent disciple/student and love your talks and wisdom.
Namaste. All these practices are geared towards stabilizing the mind. All these understanding of non-duality is just an intellectual conviction unless your body, especially nerves, prana flowing through it, follows what your conviction is. That happens only by strict practice unless one is of exceptionally pure mind like that of Sri Ramakrishna whose convictions were immediately followed by the nerves in terms of adverse reaction to doing something opposing that conviction (for eg: touching metal would physically distort his hand). Brahmacharya is not denial of something but refusing to seek nervous pleasures by the union of physical bodies. Those in Samsara also should restrict that act only for procreation and not for seeking pleasure. Except for food and essential requirements without which one would find it difficult to survive in a body, one should do away with every other need for fulfillment in the senses. Only then can the mind, which has a natural tendency to look outward, be turned inward and realise its true nature as the nondual ever perfect existence knowledge bliss absolute. You may think seeking pleasure is natural but then nature is not here to liberate you. As Swami Vivekananda says, none has realised the truth by allowing nature to dictate your life. Hope this clarifies. With best wishes, Swami Jnanishananda
"Nature is not here to liberate you" "None has realized the Truth by allowing Nature to dictate your life" *Gem of a statement* Hits the nail on the head
Being a grihasta, also u can become enlightened, u need not feel bad about it, enlightenment is enjoying every moment without interference of thought, experience everything...need not say no for ur partner but here bramhacharya means, don't search for extra partner... Need not crave for it, when it comes to u , u enjoy with ur legal partner
Swami ji literally helped me walk through my phase of depression and anxiety. Now I just can't sleep without listening to one of his talks. Thank you so much vedanta society and all the swamis of Sri Ramakrishna order for guiding all of us through life.
@@mudmud357 There is no place for alcohol if Brahmacharya is followed truly - Brahmacharya = Brahma Acharanam = fully committed to clearly understand what Brahma means as per scriptures = Self enquiry. So there is no need to mention the consumption of alcohol or any such sensual stimulating activity(seeking pleasure through 5 sense organs).
Hugs and kisses swamiji. This is What I needed now the most. Life is so confusing and I’m awakening now. Some divine entity is forcing me to be righteous. I respect you. Wish I get to be in your holy presence someday. Shree Ram
@@divyadeepwadhwa6175 when some goons ,fanatics attacking people to kill them ,what to do ?? Be righteous, Gita said . Most importantly, avoiding jealousy, hatred ,greed that's the true sense of being non-violent . In guise of non- violence ,most of us becoming tomoguni, fearful of the brutes . That's why the wicked are doing all mean thing they want & so called goody goody one always get the beating .
Truth is that anyone can become a yogi if they destroy the lust and greed for sensual pleasures and material comforts. Of the 2, power of desire to experience sexual pleasure is almost impossible for any man or woman to control. If that alone were so easy to control, then world population won't keep increasing beyond 8 Billion and higher consciousness will ensure humans stop "producing" children for the sake of their pleasures and start "creating" children with superior DNA for the sake of service to the creators of this universe. If you read content of many sages and saints on brahmacharya, you'll find how this one craving is unbeatable and not so easy to conquer. This is why yogis are born and live a specific way of life till the end. Humans are animals and need food and sex no matter how much their brain has evolved. This lack of self control is the reason for 100% of all world problems today. If all couples only ever had sex for procreation and never to experience cheap and selfish pleasure, then humanity would have jumped to next level species already. But, humans are devolving coz of their attachment to lustful and greedy desires. Even if a perfect couple existed and wanted to create a perfect child, the infinite karma from rest of 8 Billion humans will end up as a curse and not as a blessing to that child. This is the irony of aiming to be spiritually perfect in Kali Yuga.
Thank you Swamiji for your wonderful exposition Asteya & not taking anything beyond what you really really need ... even if you earned it ... what a wonderful thought ...

I have this deep desire to meet you 😊 I wish and hope that I will definitely meet you one day. My profound regards to you. your talks are life changing. It is like, "yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself"
Believe me you will . I can tell you from my own experience. I went to NY to visit Central Park ( Vedanta Soc is nearby and swamiji goes for a walk every morning). As I was entering the park , swamiji was walking out. Had I been a minute late I would have missed him. Just a week before I had gone to the Vedanta society to hear him but could not meet him . If your desire is strong, the universe will work to get it for you .
I very much appreciate what he says about accepting gifts. This said, the rules apply to the ego mind. There is never a problem accepting from being or wholeness. Accepting a compliment from wholeness is not the same as needing a compliment and feeling flattered and which exposes you to manipulation. But if you accept from freedom, it is a whole different matter. In fact, even refusing a compliment could be the work of the ego mind as in false modesty. There are no rules for the enlightened one, the Jnani.
Accepting gifts may also be good, if that means paying a karmic debt, for the person offering the gift. Giving gifts also works the same way. No absolutes.
Same with Ahimsa or non-violence. Hindu historical texts are full of examples of wars, battles and conquests to convey punchlines. Importantly these conflicts are always fought out of duty to protect a higher cause, the outcome of which is for the greater benefit. In Hinduism, it's OK to be violent for the right reasons. One could argue, the duties are for the Kshatriya or warrior class and not for a Yogi and I can accept that. But not completely as the yogi could encounter a situation where he is required to go against Ahimsa. In such case he has not forsaken yogihood - he has temporarily put it aside for the call of the hour.

I have been distributing these seeds to friends, neighbours, colleagues... The happiness and joy which the gift given with love continues to expand all over... Gifts given with love and taken in with love and shared with others have an amazing Life to them. And cost nothing
He is not clear, when he says not accepting gifts it’s meant for people who are living like yogis. The correct interpretation IMHO for general people is giving when you can without hoping to get anything in return. It sounds simple when said but in true absolute practice it is extremely hard. E.g. Someone one random day when to hospital and told doctor that he wants to donate one of his kidneys, he has no idea who is going to get it. It’s a gift to someone yes but it apparently comes with feeling of non possessiveness, giving but not expecting anything in return
To judge others, criticism ,fault finding, seems to be in the category of control of the tongue. And minding ones own business fits here nicely. Respecting others chosen path is also a truth, because one man's food is another man's poison. Let's respect everyone's truth, but follow our own.😊
As in the ten Commandments, they are for the unconscious. For a conscious and true contemplative, they are self revealing and or obvious. No one needs to tell you what is right and what is wrong, what comes from fear and anger versus what comes from Love,

People in the west do not understand when you ask them not to give you any gifts, not even small ones. They just want to satisfy their need to give you a gift. So, I tend to quietly pass on the gifts that are given to me, neither offending the giver by openly refusing the gift, nor making anyone else feel obliged towards me as most of the time they won't know who it is from or I will let them know that I am only passing it on because I feel they have better use for it. That way I don't have to be totally antisocial and people can do what they feel they need to do.
Swamiji you are greatly explain it. But here one question came in my mind ,that evey donor is not ethically earn money then how can mostly religious, or ethical ashrams accept donations from everyone...
Swamiji, I am an avid listner and a viewer of your discourses; available on RUclips, (and from many othrers, which I think, can help me grasp such basics of Vedanta philosophy). And, to humbly say, I feel, I have started learning a few things... But Swamiji, I have a question here that came to my mind while watching this very video, and, it goes like this: While explaining the ideas of Non-violence and Ahimsa, you cited two examples; the first of the Japanese Guru , and, the second of Swami Viekananda. I felt that these two views on the same subject are very opposed. Swamiji, my doubt is; Is there a difference in the essence of these two words, or you have used them synonymously? If not, then what is the exact difference between these two words? Swami Vivekananda's view appeals to me. I have formed this view, after reading 'Gita Rahasya' by the Great intellectual and philosopher, 'Lokmanya Bal Gangadhar Tilak'... Swamiji, do clear this doubt, if you find any worth in it...
Namaste. If you are referring to the Martial arts Guru, then it is not opposed to Swamiji’s view that the strong need not oppose or resist the weak. He could have easliy defeated the robber but chose to comply. Swamiji too says if you can bring legions of angels in your defence then chosing Ahimsa makes sense. Our weakness masquerading as nonresistance is one of the reason for our downfall over centuries, spiritually and otherwise. Mahatma Gandhi’s Ahimsa too was from a foundation of spiritual strength.
