Find a guru in a small conservative Christian town in America is nearly impossible. I think I found the Guru I need as a Mumukshu already with your teachings online Swami.
Of a thousand, one might strive for liberation. Of a thousand of those who strive, one might find God. Of a thousand of those who find God, only one knows Him. If you are walking this path now, you have walked it before. Never stop. The goal is as certain as the day itself.
An external guru is a blessing, but our inner guru is the true gift. And the way we access that inner guru is by worshipping that which shines inside you as I. “I Am That I Am”
I feel that finding the right Guru is as difficult as the other two prerequisites, being born as a human being and yearning for liberation. May Swamiji bless us to seek out the proper Guru that we all are seeking.
@@hille3142 As Swamiji elaborated verse from Vivekachudamani, access to a Great Guru comes only with the grace of God. You do not have to do anything to find a Guru. After all how can you/we determine that the Guru you find is qualified and what credentials you possess to call the Guru you find, a qualified Guru or not. Leave it to God, Guru will find you. Like and eyed man can find a blind but the blind doesn't have capability to find the eyed man. So we the blind will have to pray and leave to God's grace and wait till a Guru is accessed and finds us.
I don't mean to pop a trick question...I love your content and lessons, and in some ways you do attain to the title of 'guru'. Then there is the aspect of the self as 'guru', brahman...and a third 'guru' which is life. Or something like that. We all have access to 'self' and 'life', yet we find ourselves enlightened by the 'third-part' guru, you. Oh, wise teacher, THANK YOU!
Shatsampatti - The Six Treasures This principle of Gyana Yoga comprises six principles: Shama - withdrawal of the senses and the mind. Dama - control of the senses and the mind. To restrain oneself from negative actions, such as stealing, lying and negative thoughts. Uparati - to stand above things. Titiksha - to be steadfast, disciplined. To endure through and overcome all difficulties. Shraddha - faith and trust in the Holy Scriptures and the words of the Master. Samadhana - to have determination and purpose. Whatever may come, our aspirations should always be directed solely towards our goal. Nothing should ever be able to dissuade us from this.
Hiranya does mean gold. But it also implies something imperishable (as gold doesn’t really degrade). Golden treasures are normally hidden away hence swamijis translation of “hidden”. Sanskrit words have literal meanings, but historically rishis used more of the implied meanings than the literal ones. It helps open up the mind to new meanings behind everything when we start thinking about deeper meanings and not just the superficial ones.
How do i meditate correctly *to find atma*? Am I supposed to actually say the Ohm Mantra while meditating? Can i just listen to the Ohm Mantra while meditating? Please make a video teaching meditation for atma in depth.
Maybe this will open your eyes, Atma alone reveals The acitivities of your mind and senses Like a Shining lamp reveals a clay pot But your mind and senses cannot reveal atma No other consciousness is required to reveal The self revealing conscious self, atma, Like no other lamp is required To see a lamp shining by itself Thats Verse 27 and 28 from Shankara
Lol this story is hardly a useful parable , it’s absurd to think someone would go out and start digging holes without proper research. It doesn’t take a swami to tell me happiness cannot be found outside of myself LMAO. Through observation and common sense we see people across the globe seeking happiness through women, sex, money, materialism, Etc but their search is endless and sin is only pleasurable for a season ! True happiness can only be found through selflessness and self sacrifice , helping others even when we don’t want to, we cannot “THINK” or “MEDITATE” our way to happiness , it must be by actions only !

Greetings from another small conservative Christian town in the U.S. 😊
Of a thousand, one might strive for liberation.
Of a thousand of those who strive, one might find God.
Of a thousand of those who find God, only one knows Him.
If you are walking this path now, you have walked it before.
Never stop. The goal is as certain as the day itself.
The way he narrates is GOLD. Thank you. 💙
Lord Krishna declared; "Amongst a thousand people, one might strive for liberation." Swamiji, you remind me of the phrase; the road less travelled.
An external guru is a blessing, but our inner guru is the true gift. And the way we access that inner guru is by worshipping that which shines inside you as I. “I Am That I Am”
I’m studying English for understanding what you are saying ❤️
Thank you very much for making me have a passionate feeling to study !!
It's good .
Swamiji,s teaching is like treasures only.
Your teachings are invaluable and so far have been the closest I have to a 'guru' here in Australia. Thank you
Thank you❤
This process of teaching, that to-real life lessons, through stories in our culture is truely amazing.
Looks like I have got all 3 gifts. Thank you so much for your teachings
So glad that the RUclips algorithm selected your channel, videos to me. Better than having found a pot of gold or treasures. Nameste.
Aham Brahmasmi, Thank you Swami.
Thank you very much Swamiji for your guidance. I have been blessed for having access, even through You Tube, to your wisdom. Namaste.
Very clearly explained 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿Yes very correct most of us get depressed because we do not have clear understanding.Most of us are like the farmers
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

Another great little video with a beautiful story as ancient as the philosophy it explains. Your videos are brilliant.
Swamijii best narration Valuable Gyana tattwa. Pranam
Great channel
Swamiji, those who dislike your preaching are like those farmers who make fruitless efforts to find treasure by digging here and there in the field.
this is guru 's video now awesome 🙏
Thank you again and again Swamiji 🕉️🌞❤️
namaskAra 🙏
Love this. Thanks for all you do. It helps immensly to keep me close to the divine.
What a clarity . marvelous.
SwamiT, it’s very endearing that your hand gestures are very Indian as is the cadence of your language.
Thankyou.
You have very well animated videos and right approach to the vedanta. Good luck!
You speak my heart. My Guru indeed 💜✨
Thank you 🙏
My own personal guru. Thank you
I feel that finding the right Guru is as difficult as the other two prerequisites, being born as a human being and yearning for liberation.
May Swamiji bless us to seek out the proper Guru that we all are seeking.
Nisargadatta maharaj said the real guru is your own true self. He's not a person.
@@dare-er7sw Yes, that´s right, but you need a teacher (=GURU) who shows you the way to the SELF ;) So we need a GURU to find our inner GURU

Just stay a seeker ( Mumukshu ) and leave everything for the God to take care.
I am one in a thousand!
Great Vedic knowledge 🙏

Satsang should be included in one's sadhana regularly...Follow directions and keep practicing with dispassion. Aum Tat Sat

I have found my hidden Treasure 🙏
नमस्कार 🙏
🙏🙏🙏
I gave up digging holes and became an abyss myself 🙏🌷
And then being self-realized one becomes Atma Samrat, King on this Earth.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
😇

Ciao ! 😄 🇮🇹💯❤️
5 dislikes are from those 999 people.
Fun fact - there are different kinds of Mumushukal.
I thought hiranya means golden, yet you state it means “hidden”. I’m confused. Thanks.

How do i meditate correctly *to find atma*?
Am I supposed to actually say the Ohm Mantra while meditating?
Can i just listen to the Ohm Mantra while meditating?
Please make a video teaching meditation for atma in depth.
Look self knowledge atma from this channel
Maybe this will open your eyes,
Atma alone reveals
The acitivities of your mind and senses
Like a Shining lamp reveals a clay pot
But your mind and senses cannot reveal atma
No other consciousness is required to reveal
The self revealing conscious self, atma,
Like no other lamp is required
To see a lamp shining by itself
Thats Verse 27 and 28 from Shankara
You should go to swamijis website. There are many meditation lessons on there!
