How to be wise

@Shanmugam thanks a lot. I’m really into kriya yoga.

@Alby so are you after enlightenment?

@iTommy could be some paranormal experience. Or maybe some sort of lucid dreaming experience.

@Alby why not try 5 meo dmt? What’s your aim with taking psychedelics? Are you seeking anything?

@Maxi could be your paranormal abilities starting to bud. Have you watched Leo’s paranormal video?

@Andre Quinonez I would suggest contemplating the statement ‘I shouldn’t develop schizophrenia, is it true?’. If you do it long enough, it will blow your mind. Your view on your family will shift 180 degrees. Give it a try.

@Patang check you spelling... ?

@Shin lust is just a confused mind. If met with understanding, you will see through it.

@Daniellelu If you can’t meditate at home for 2 hours, how can you meditate somewhere else for 10 days?

@Crauli All different subjects are actually way more linked than you think. So in this case, a homo universalis could discover far more about the subjects than a specialist. I think it will feel quite good. No it’s not like being enlightened. Enlightenment is experiential knowledge. Homo universalis are still in their heads.

In his latest video, Leo said the goal is to be in no-mind for most of the day. But Sri Sri Ravi Shankar said that he usually spends days and weeks on end without a single thought. He has remained in a constant state of ecstasy and bliss for 10 or 15 years. He sleeps less than 3 hours a day, because he controls his energies so well. He understands ‘truth’ 100%. He said that if he wanted, he could sit in one seat and stay there for the rest of his life, of course with his biological needs being provided. Compare that with what Leo has as a self actualized vision. It’s nowhere near.

@Joseph Maynor Sri Sri Ravi Shankar is a living miracle. Most enlightened people will never attain what he attained.

@Nahm Sri Sri was in his twenties when he gained those ‘abilities’. Leo always says that becoming a sage takes long decades. But somehow those yogis do it very quickly.

@NoSelfSelf It depends on what kind of yoga you’re doing. I’m practicing kriya yoga, and in there the sign that a chakra opens is that you will see the light of kutastha when they open. As for what the light of kutastha is, I can’t explain here. It’s quite technical.

@cle103 no problem with using psychedelics, but don’t try to run away from emotional labour. Without years of emotional labour, you’re not going to master anything. Guaranteed. If you’re trying to do yoga, you need to be very disciplined with yourself and do it everyday for many years to see results. No other way. Btw if you have Leo’s book list, make sure not to overlook the books in the success and productivity section. I’ve found them very important even with my yoga practice.

Actually it was the opposite. He got back up full of energy and vitality, and he clearly didn’t shit himself. You’re underestimating that man.

I’ve been doing kriya yoga for around two months. The goal is not to ‘open’ any chakras. Basically, there is an energy called Kundalini which is trapped in the muladhara chakra for most people. The goal of Kriya yoga is to return that energy to the sahasrara chakra. That requires opening the chakras so that the kundalini can travel through them to the sahasrara chakra. When that happens, you will get full enlightenment (sahaja samadhi), and you will be feeling blissful and ecstatic every moment of your life. You will gain 100% emotional mastery and wisdom over everything. That is where we kriyabans are aiming for. As for changes, I’m already feeling a sense of peace and calmness around my body which was definetly not there before. That’ because I’ve started to open my bhrumadhya chakra. Once the bhrumadhya chakra is fully open, you will feel very peaceful. In order to return my energy to sahasrara, I’m looking at years of yoga.

@Outer Nobody came to him. He sat there for around 2-3 weeks in meditation. No food or water. No sleep. It’s possible trust me. Especially for someone like him.

If you are lucky enough to enter samadhi, you won’t need to worry about seating positions. Sri Sri Ravi Shankar said that when he entered samadhi, he would sit in the same place without moving for weeks on end.

Watch both of these videos for advantage of opening chakras. Leo’s book list has some practical books which show you how to use yoga for enlightenment and opening chakras.

Most enlightened yogis say that they live most of their days without any thoughts. Self deception is done by the mind. There is nothing to mind except thought. That means that enlightened yogis spend most of their time with zero self deception. And yet according to Professor Leo from Harvard, those enlightened yogis have 10% self deception. It doesn’t add up.

@Monkey-man and it is sadhguru who said that he spends the majority of his time without any thoughts. Usually days on end.

@Leo Gura That’s weird. He keeps harping about not-knowing and here he is not taking his own medicine.

That’s true. Just be mindful when you are doing all your habits, good or bad. Surely you’re capable of that much. That way, those habits will fall down. Just try to be mindful for as long as you can. When that much time becomes easy, extend it a bit. And so on. Within a few years you will see yourself mindful all the time.

@Buba according to sadhguru, 99% of all people who are enlightened, leave their body in the moment of enlightenment. The only people who can stay in the body after becoming enlightened are those on the path of Kriya yoga, because they understand the mechanism of the body inside out. Video of sadhguru saying it:
