    Episode 110: How Do I Know If I Am Making Right Decision

    Choice comes before us as something painful-what would be the right choice. If one can bear this pain, this feeling because no choice seems to be flawless and one can not know the result of exercising choice before hand. One tastes freedom. Whatever choice emerges is the right choice.

    Episode 109: Why We Do Not Know the Origin and Purpose of Life

    ‘Why or How life originated’ ‘what is the purpose of human life’ – these questions arise within the Human Mechanism. We have to understand the Human Mechanism.------- One wants to do away with the fear of going wrong, the fear of committing errors. Mind is under the illusion that it may make some wrong choices.

    Episode 105: The Origin, Format of Life and Death

    Any discovery about the Origin of the Universe, if as you are now is not included, is guess work, a work of fiction. Whatever is before you at this moment, that is, within the purview of your senses – apart from this enclosure, everything is memory, imagination, thinking. *Someone close to me died a few days ago, where he is now? He is in the field of your memory now. He is out of the field of your senses. But you can not throw him out of the field of your memory. Can you see this as a fact? Any explanation further than this will be a superimposition upon the fact.  

  12. 89

    Episode 104: Immortality

    Once you see this, every moment become ‘live’. Wait for immortality does not entice you. As every moment comes out of the womb of not being. The timeless, endless process.

  13. 88

    Episode 103: Mental Health and Psychological Laziness

    It is not because of more stress, more discomfort, more tenseness but because we feel so much relieved, satisfied, assured or want to feel secured, satisfied, assured by addition to possessions, relations, ideas that we do not recognize the fact that brain operates though contrasts only.

  14. 87

    Episode 102: The Search for a Universal Solution

    Instead of feeling the uneasiness, any problem creates within us, we seek diversion by fanciful ideas like, it is all one’s fate, future will be alright, God will take care and so on or we seek relief by entertainment, intoxications to bypass the feeling of uneasiness. To become aware of the diversion is to stop it.

  15. 86

    Episode 101: No One Consciously Chooses Disease, Poverty, Losses, Conflicts

    No one consciously chooses disease, poverty, losses, conflicts. Then is it a punishment? Punishment foe what?

  16. 85

    Episode 99: Frustration Despite Advances in Technology, Knowledge--

    Any discomforting or irritating situation and uncertainty creates uneasiness in your nervous system. One tries to throw away this uneasiness by solacing explanations or by diversions like entertainments, religious-spiritual ideas. Mind is enamoured as if it will resolve this uneasiness. Unless this uneasiness is experienced ‘as it is’, energy is not concentrated. One becomes addicted to escapes. Loses contact with the Life energy.

  17. 84

    Episode 98: Work as Compulsion is the Cause of all Complications of Living

    We are consumed by compulsion and relief pattern in daily life. One does not see that this pattern, this inclination is the cause of all troubles. One is so much attached to ‘relief’ offered by holidays, entertainment, religious and spiritual activities that one’s other days, other activities automatically become ‘compulsive’. This divide does not let one see ‘what is True’. All complications arise for the individual as well as for the society as this divide is not seen, understood, solved. Once you notice your bondage to this pattern of compulsion – relief, fused state touches you.

  18. 83

    Episode 97: Past, Present and Future are related in a Tense Mode

    Past, present and future are related in a tense mode. There is no way, this tension can be undone. You can not feel the comfort of amending the past (memory) now. You can not feel the comfort of solving the future (imagination) now. 

  19. 82

    Episode 96: Is There a Purpose or Meaning To Human Existence

    Can you see that any answer will satisfy or dissatisfy you, it can not go further. You have to see the format of life to see the complete picture. Whatever is before you at this moment, that is, within the purview of your senses – apart from this enclosure, everything is memory, imagination, thinking. This is the Total Field, the field of senses and the field of memory, imagination, thinking. This structure does not change wherever you may go, whatever may happen. It means this is the Original. The idea of God or ‘who created this Existence’ or what is the purpose of human existence’ and so on arises within this format, that is, as thinking. Seeing the Total Field is the end.

  20. 81

    Episode 95: The Format of Time

    You can not feel the comfort of amending the past (memory) now. You can not feel the comfort of solving the future (imagination) now. This gap is uneasiness, tenseness, friction for the brain. The illusion becomes busy in covering up this friction as if to secure stable relief. To see that this friction can not be covered up or solved automatically attunes one to Now.

  21. 80

    Episode 94: Enlightenment and Philosophies

    Once you do not run away from uneasiness generated from compulsion of work or from discomforting, irritating situations – your whole energy is here. You begin to see the meaning of your life, your existence from moment to moment. This is ever revealing. 

  22. 79

    Episode 93: Beyond Genetic Mold

    Whatever may be your genetic make up, one thing is common to all. You are essentially experiencing discomfort-relief from moment to moment.

  23. 78

    Episode 92: Enjoyment and More Money

    Even if you are king of the world, desire to have more or tension that your securities may be lost will develop. Brain can not operate as psychologically relieved, whatever you may possess or know.

  24. 77

    Episode 91: Recognising Totality Now is Your Attunement to The Magical Ground

    You can not feel the comfort of amending the past (memory) now. You can not feel the comfort of solving the future (imagination) now. This gap is uneasiness, tenseness, friction for the brain. The illusion becomes busy in covering up this friction as if to secure stable relief. To see that this friction can not be covered up or solved automatically attunes one to Now.

  25. 76

    Episode 90: Embarrassment

    You experience life energy when you face insult, embarrassment. Do not runaway from this uneasiness. Original energy may take over.

  26. 75

    Episode 89: Enlightenment is not a Comfort Zone

    The idea of Enlightenment is given by books or by others. Can you frame the fundamental issue?  The answer to all your problems is given as God or Enlightenment by the religion. It is an answer. You have not solved the question yourself. Frame the question, solve it and you will reach at the answer. Then you may call it God or Enlightenment or whatever name you give to it. 

  27. 74

    Episode 88: Desire is Life Force

     Instead of feeling the pull of desire, instead of feeling the pull of contradictory thoughts that arise with the desire, we become busy in taking sides by condemning or justifying the desire. The process of desire is vitiated. Seeing the pull of desire, being with the pull without any ideation is the connection to the original energy.

  28. 73

    Episode 87: The End of All Your Efforts

    One is not aware that one can question – ‘why one has to face pain and uncertainty’. One is under the illusion as if pain and uncertainty can be removed from the mind by addition to possessions, relations or by religious-spiritual ideas, activities and stability will come and stay. 

  29. 72

    Episode 86: Fear and the Great Secret

    All sadness, confusion, fear, uncertainty is psychological discomfort, if you are not in immediate physical danger. To absorb this discomfort without any explanation, without any solacing diversion is the key.

  30. 71

    Episode 85: No One Can Become Psychologically Immune

    No one can become psychologically immune. To acknowledge vulnerability is your connection to the Original.-- We think as if someone else or science and technology or future will relieve us from this discomfort. No body else can bear it for you. Nothing can be thrown out of the mind.--

  31. 70

    Episode 84: The Bondage of 40 Hour Work Week

    We are consumed by compulsion and relief pattern in daily life. One does not see that this pattern, this inclination is the cause of all troubles. All complications arise for the individual as well as for the society as this divide is not seen, understood, solved. Once you notice your bondage to this pattern of compulsion – relief, fused state touches you.

  32. 69

    Episode 83: God is a Fact - the Endless Exploration

     Can you see that there is essentially gap between what you want, what you like and what happens? You want to close the gap by using the idea of God. Once you see that this gap can not be undone, you begin to see the happenings as work of God. God is now a fact for you. It is endless exploration. You are attuned to wonder, to the limitless field. 

  33. 68

    Episode 82: Finding Resilience

    There are two types of people:Those who are religiously-spiritually inclined. --Their quest remains limited to their philosophies, after life theories and so on.  Now there are those who are not so inclined, finding resilience during losses, defame, relationship conflicts, disease is a big task. --

  34. 67

    Episode 81: Question - What is root cause of a restless mind?

     Mind can not hold pleasure, relief, happiness. ---The issue of restless mind itself drops as this issue itself adds to the restlessness. The total ground is realised.

  35. 66

    Episode 80: Seeing the Limit of Thinking Opens up to a New Dimension

    You can not come out of thinking and discuss 'about' thinking. There is no one thinking. (when you say-‘I am thinking’, this itself is thinking and not the source of thinking) ‘I’ can refer to anything; can describe anything (‘I’ as subject and something or other as object). This is the process of thinking. Now ‘I’ comes under the illusion as if it is the source of thinking. Can you see that ‘I’ itself arises as a thought?

  36. 65

    Episode 79: Seeing Calmness in Chaos

    You have to feel settled, satisfied now in whatever situation you are. Even if it is extremely difficult situation, it is simply psychological discomfort-if it is not immediate physical danger. The error is that you want to remove, undo this discomfort, throw away this discomfort from your mind. 

  37. 64

    Episode 78: New Mind

    It is to find ‘you’ as you are-desiring, wanting, anxious, continuously adjusting with others or environment, being insulted or praised, being hit by unexplainable failures or successes, stuck up in the maze of choices, actions and consequences and so on. This ‘as you are’ is the end of ‘you’. This facing oneself ‘as it is’ is like an explosion. The new mind is born. 

  38. 63

    Episode 77: Why bizarre, discomforting, irritating things happen?

    To see that we do not have control over our life, life situations, our own limitations, fragilities – is not to lose our power, but to instantly connect to the source of life. There is opening up to the limitless with this acknowledgment.  

  39. 62

    Episode 76: Framing the Fundamental Issue Solves Everything

    The fundamental issue before man is-how to deal with, when he faces something which he does not like, finds irritating or when he is face to face with uncertainty, which he is unable to cover up.

  40. 61

    Episode 75: Pandemic shows Limitations of Science

    Man’s search is for stability, stable relief, stable pleasure and so on where he is not perturbed by losses, accidents, diseases, conflicts (inner and outer). Even when he searches for God, Enlightenment, he is searching for stability. If you can come to this question – you are just close to the Truth. You will find it.

  41. 60

    Episode 74: We want normal life as before Covid 19, forgetting that that life has led to Covid 19

    We want normal life as before Covid 19 as if it was a model life, perfect life. We forget that that life has led to Covid 19.

  42. 59

    Episode 73: Acknowledging Fundamental Resistance is Power

    When the nervous system experiences this resistance, this pain – what you do, you try to throw the resistance out of you mind. There is no place to throw it. Once you see this, the whole energy is here.

  43. 58

    Episode 72: Truth or God or Original is Not Knowledge

    Truth or God or Original is not knowledge. It is totality expressing from moment to moment-you and the world as a singular process-including what you like-dislike, fear or cherish. It is not knowing ‘what is’ that delivers but seeing ‘what is’ ‘as is’ without any escaping mechanism that connects you to the ground.

  44. 57

    Episode 71: Truth is Revealed When You Are Face to Face with 'What is'

    One who is interested in finding ‘what is True’ will not talk about God, ‘what God is’ but will inquire ‘why human beings have to bear pain and uncertainty’. He will encounter life directly ‘as it is’ and not run to comforting escapes to cover up his own uneasiness. In this process, ‘what is True’ is revealed.

  45. 56

    Episode 70: Vulnerability of Human Life

    The present scenario of total uncertainty (due to Covid 19 and so on) has shown you the vulnerability of human life. Noticing this vulnerability can connect you to the Original.

  46. 55

    Episode 69: 'I' Has Come Under the Illusion as if it is the Source of Thinking, Doing

    All doing, thinking is neurological, physiological process. The assertions - ‘I am thinking, I am doing’ are only the words to communicate. Thinking has overtaken as if it is the Total Field.

  47. 54

    Episode 68: Unpleasant Thoughts Can Not Harm You

    Face any unpleasant feeling or thought as it arises. Unpleasant feeling or thought arises only when you are otherwise safe and secured in the moment. Feeling or thought can not harm you. You are on the Original ground.

  48. 53

    Episode 67: The Fundamental Inquiry-Why Human Being has to bear Accidents, Diseases, Losses and the enigma of Death

    Life has not moved an inch away from accidents, diseases, losses despite advances in technology and other economic and scientific innovations. Death is still an enigma despite the fact that we have accepted it as inevitable. To explore this is fundamental inquiry.

  49. 52

    Episode 66: Enlightenment

    The idea of Enlightenment is given by others or by books. Can you frame the fundamental issue? You think, things should happen as you want, no problems should tinker your mind. But you face resistance (pain and uncertainty), that is, discomforting, irritating situations. That is why you feel incomplete. And go on removing, undoing, solving the resistance by addition to possessions, religious-spiritual explanations. Can you take a different step?

  50. 51

    Episode 65: You are Attuned to Total Knowing when you are Comfortable with Not Knowing

    You are attuned to Total knowing when you are comfortable with not knowing. You may plan an activity but what happens from moment to moment remains unpredictable. You want to feel relieved by knowing, by thinking about accomplishing, by thinking about result, about tomorrow. As this is not possible, complications arise. Once we see that this relief can not be secured, we become comfortable with uncertainty, ambiguity, confusion. Any action is now relaxed, conscious. One begins to see ‘what s True’.
