Ans:

Motivation is temporary. Inspiration is long lasting. Inspiration comes when your task is part of a higher purpose, a bog goal or an impossible dream.

My question is if Ashtavakra says to accept everything as it is and not to get stuck in …Then how would positive changes are to be brought!?? Agar jo h sab accept hi kar le as it is phir aage improvement kaise aayega!??

Ans:

Accept and change. If you accept you are at peace and can think better, this helps you to improve.

AAG Q21:
Moving from the experience to the one who experiences is very difficult to apply when one is going through some physical ailment.
How can one handle this?

Ans:

I completely understand its difficult. But what is more difficult – being with the painful experience or moving from the experience to the experiencer?

AAG EXP10:

Tada Drushta Svarupe Avasthanam.
This is the crux of spirituality and the Abhyasa. We have to come back again and again from the scenery (experiences) to the seer (experiencer). This is through the meditation, Sudarshan kriya and spiritual wisdom

Response:

So true, Manoj ji.

AAG Q22:
Some times tendency comes in form of intense sensuality. What to do?

Ans:

Thats a basic instinct. Its part of Life.

Step1 – Do not label it as negative.

Step2 – Do not resist.

Step3 – Observe the sensation.

Step4 – Ask – is the joy in the sensation or somewhere deeper?

Step5 – Ask – where is the source of joy? Who is the enjoyer?

Step6 – Abide in the Seer. Repose in the Self.

Jai Gurudev bhaiya… I want to share my experience of last two days
After getting up early, doing sadhana with no time pressure or distractions- I felt amazingly rejuvenated and fresh. So much so, that renovations at my house could not make me tired (earlier even the thoughts of renovations made me tired).But I am stuck in raag of food. With new energy, I am thinking more about eating unhealthy food. . It is as if some other person from inside is fighting to survive. That person / vasana is coming out with more intensity. This is the place where I give up every time.But this time I am not defeated by this other person. I still have energy to continue my fight to overcome the raag. And I will win by end of 21 days

Response:

Wonderful observation. Whenever you indulge, observe the state of your mind – compare the states before and after indulgence.

What is prayer? And what is blessing?

As gurudev said don’t bless someone until they ask because it may harm to self but we can pray.

Ans:

When you pray, God or whoever you pray to, blesses.

Prayer is asking, Blessing is granting.

Prayer happens out of helplessness, Blessing comes out of fullness.

Prayer is an expression of humility and surrender. Blessing is an expression of divinity and gratitude.

In prayer you acknowledge your nothingness, in blessing you acknowledge your infiniteness.

Tanu ma ‘s session was so blissful and so much filled with love .  by heartfelt gratitude to Saleel bhaiya and his team.

AAG EXP14:
I don’t have enough words to express gratitude for these days..
I am going through toughest journey right now and these sessions have given me a new life I must say
Thanking Saleel bhaiya and the team is not enough so i will be starting my seva ASAP as it isn’t happening from past 2 yearsAAG EXP15:
It’s a blessing to get these sessions.
# In these manan tasks, many times I was stuck ,was upset, felt had many emotions and immediately became sajag about role these 5 elements in our life. I dropped those emotions in less than 5 minutes of getting it. So, thankful to bhaiya to these sessions. 

Response:

Thats absolutely brilliant. Your sincerity and awareness in implementing the knowledge is commendable.

AAG EXP16:
Just want to share my experience in context of Accepting ourselves and others
While there was an argument that happened with spouse…a flash came to my mind…in case if Lord/Gurudev come in this Guise (रूप) will i accept Lord/Gurudev….to be honest my mind was clouded….on introspection i said Yes will accept Him in this  Form…followed by it another flash came…then if Lord/Gurudev says something in this form will i argue about it or will accept it and then share my viewpoint to arrive at a more meaningful decision….just this small activity helped me to accept people, situations, circumstances in a better manner…. Thanks to all Sadhaks, Devotees, Gurudev, Our Host Saleel Ji, Jaideep Ji, Rohan ji and anyone else who is involved for a wonderful sessions (सत्संग)
जय गुरुदेव !!

Response:

Your experience is pregnant with wisdom. This can be an example for so many of us to follow. Thank you for this inspiration.

Jai gurudev  Saleel bhaiya ..Jaideep Bhaiya
Very much grateful  for  today’s knowledge  4 chapter read many times …understanding..realising today …
Started Gayatri chanting  with regular  way ..
Atha yog  anu shasanhResponse:

By translating knowledge into action you have begun integrating it as wisdom in your life. Thats Nidhi Dhyas. Congratulations.

In today’s context where we Observe, become aware that everything is Happening…what is the context or meaning of Free Will ? Where it fits into ? How does Free Will come into play?

Ans:

Will ties you. Happening Frees you. Isn’t that true?!

When everything is happening, doesn’t the Free Will become redundant, even if it exists?!

As our awareness heightens, deepens and widens, we realise that the so called Free Will is also a Happening. Eureka!!!

1. I realised as i observe, become aware about what identity am playing or protecting, when an argument happens….it just brings a shift…and helps me to accept the situation or person

2. Also now with  those folks, who used to be usually in foul mood or feel things should happen their way….have now remind myself… अरे आज ईश्वर (Gurudev) का यह रूप देखने को मिल रहा है। मेरे जीवन में, चाहे कारण कुछ भी हो, आज उग्र स्वभाव देखना पड़ेगा । अब चाहे मैं इस पल में क्रोध दिखाऊं या शांत रहूं यह मुझे देखना है !!
With this awareness such so called unpleasant scenarios have reduced….
God Bless all !!

Response:

Wow, such a profound experience. When we apply knowledge with sincerity the Master blesses us with wonderful insights.

AAG EXP19:
I am usually very straight forward with my words and they may appear harsh.
But this 5 day oath has literally brought a great shift, even in one/2  instances where I did not use the best words, I was vigilant immediately of my promise and just sat in silence

Response:

Excellent awareness. Keep it up.

In deep gratitude GuruGrace pouring as always with such intense reverence Saleel Bhaiya bringing us to the highest knowledge. My gratitude to the entire teamfeeling sooo blessed as always. 

Feeling grateful bhaiya I hv listen Ashtavakra Geeta many times but this time how Saleel bhaiya  is explaining  ,it’s very different  level of understanding thanks a lot bhaiya 

While doing Padmasadhna body rotations suddenly saw my mind cling to me instead of running around was a different experience like. Chhotusa friend coming to me and clinging and I took it along.
Morning 4.30am to 7.30am is reality, rest all is fake and dream

Response:

Ha ha ha….nice analogy of reality and dream!

Had argument, fight with daughter, identified my ego, authority and expectation, in argument I was defending being dumb and in fight I was defending as the above. Hope I evaluated the elements right. After that we were fine and happy back. But that’s not the way.
Agar saamnewala bahut ungli Karega how do you keep quiet. Sometimes you have to  give back. Otherwise the person doesn’t stop troubling you.

Ans:

You may consciously take an identity and deal with the person in an either a soft or stern manner. You will deal much better, you will be in full charge of yourself, your responses will be intelligent actions rather than regretful reactions.

AAG EXP21:
It was all good, the situation was not that to fight I understood this is Ashtavakra scene created. 

Response:

Precisely!

transactional reality is that I am doing but at a subtle level it’s happening..

Response:

Aptly put!

What is this technology which is called as happening and the main technology which witnessesI wish the suspense ends.

Ans:

I totally empathise with your curiosity. We are all in the same boat. Let’s wait and watch. Gurudev is taking us with our hands, step by step.

“The state of Happening” gives the realisation of deep relaxation as well as Mind is in Present moment effortlessly.

Response:

And then Actions flow without doership.

Jai Gurudev

The sessions are simply superb
Saleel bhaiya comes with something innovative every time, the breakout rooms for discussion helps the knowledge to sink in and the take always get reinforced.
Best regards, wishes and gratefulness  for the entire team.

Doing Intense Sadhana at 4:30am to 6:30am with AAG sessions from 30th Aug along with my Work from Home & nowadays preparation of Ganesh Utsav….

Earlier it was DOING but “Realised” actually it’s a HAPPENING.
Experiencing such an incredible change within me through this session and manan on such powerful knowledge.Response:

Please continue sharing such experiences. It’s a great encouragement for the whole team.

AAG EXP25:
One of the Revolutionary Knowledge Point of VTP is so Connected with Ashtavakra Geeta,
I AM NOT A DOER STILL I HAVE TO DO this made a big positive SHIFT in me.I highly recommend to do VTP – Volunteer Training Program of Art of Living, if haven’t done yet.Gratitude to Saleel Bhaiyya & Dedicated Team 

Response:

You are Bang On!

Jai Gurudev, I am having lot of fear of success, bcoz of which i am stopping myself to go ahead in my life. i don’t know what to do?

Ans:

Just like success pulls you ahead in life, failure pushes you ahead.

Fail so many times that failure stops going into your heart, succeed so many times that success stops going into your head.

Fail so many times that the fear of failure loses its fire, succeed so many times that the pride of success loses its sweetness.

So, don’t just sit and think, get into action, keep doing because anyway you are not the doer, so you are not the enjoyer or sufferer too.

Total feeling of gratitude and helplessness. I feel grateful for all that I have received but helpless because I haven’t done enough to share it with others. Trying to apply knowledge so that i stay connected with people and don’t reject them for petty things. Thank you bhaiyya and everyone who is doing seva.

Response:

You have already made a beginning by sharing here! So just keep sharing more.  Beginnings of all Big things are Small.

JGD wonderful sessions and thanks to the entire team who are working really hard. I realise am stuck in right & wrong, good & bad, judgemental. While accepting people has started happening yet work in progress on right & wrong, raag dwesh.

Response:

Good progress. Can do better.

jai gurudev grateful for our respected teacher and helping team. Forgive urself is a very very useful point for me as when I get angry upon kids I go in guilt. Today I forgave myself. Thanks again bhaiya for upanayan also

Response:

Kindly forgive the kids too 

I am so grateful to all of you for the wonderful participation. This is truly Sanghachhadwam – We are learning/unlearning together in the Grace of Gurudev!

Much love and light

Yours

Saleel
