Prabhaker

It proves that she is awakened.

Then why do you believe that I am peaceful now ?

Don't assume anything about the states of higher consciousness, you can't know about them by reading or viewing videos, unless you experience , you can't know. When you are awakened, your memories are not lost but you don't identify yourself with them , you remain witness to them, you don't judge them. Then memories don't disturb you. If past memories can disturb your serenity then you are not awakened. Don't think that only you have suffered in the past and your miseries are greater. My childhood was very horrible , my elder brother committed suicide but I managed to survive. Now my past can't make me miserable.

My parents has done this no-spending challenge for their whole life. They became very rich but lived a miserable life. They were very egoist and were under the impression that they were very spiritual.

Modern masters talk in this language because we are very miserable, cunning, ambitious and greedy. Jesus said, "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." or "faith can move mountains" Modern masters can't talk in this manner, because we can't understand it.

Rupert is speaking to modern western audiences, he can't speak about enlightenment in the way it is described in some Indian scriptures. Even Buddha removed all exotic, colorful, extraordinary associations with enlightenment , two thousand years ago, because Indians were trying to become extraordinary by pursuing enlightenment. Unless you are ready to remain ordinary , you can't grow spiritually. Masters can't tell the everything, when they speak about enlightenment, it is out of compassion. If they speak in the way it is described in some Indian scriptures, it will create hindrances for real seekers and attract wrong kind of persons towards spirituality, who can harm themselves and others.

If she is awakened then her past can't influence her present behavior, if she is awakened then her past can't disturb her now. Don't expect that she will behave like normal victim of abuse, even after spiritual progress. Spirituality is inner transformation.

What is the worst thing do you think, can happen (regarding Teal swan) ?

This whole world is a struggle to be extraordinary. Some try it in politics, some try it in economics, some try it in religion. When everybody wants to be extraordinary, then to remain a ordinary person is extraordinary. The only miracle, the impossible miracle, is to be just ordinary.

@Annetta She was a lingerie model. Excerpts from her blog: I was designed to suffer at the hands of men and to be hated by women. I could not cover my sexuality up, I could not tone myself down and so I allowed myself to slip to the dark side. I became a lingerie/nude model and figured, “fine, if this is what I am, then this is what I am… Let them use me and let them hate me”. But over the course of my healing process since then, I have learned some things that I want to share with you today.

@Annetta We can't judge a mystic by his behavior, a lot of people criticize Teal Swan. She is not an enlightened master but she certainly has a higher consciousness.

She is not praising Donald Trump. She said , "Donald Trump is not the problem. He is (and will continue to be) merely the reflection of human shadow. The true shadow, the true problem, is the conditions that put people in a such a state that they would feel so powerless and desperate in their rat cage that they could vote for Donald Trump in the 1st place."

@Annetta Even Jesus and Socrates were condemned, criticized, prosecuted and executed by the champions of morality in the society. I have seen many mystics in my life, she looks like a mystic.

There are women who look hot and beautiful but she has a mystical appearance , she looks like a mystic.

Not only wealth, there were lot of young and beautiful women around him. He was certainly a blessed one. OSHO: I Am a Spiritual Playboy @jse But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

@Revolutionary Think According to the World Health Organization, India is one of the most depressed countries in the world with a whopping 36% of Indians likely to suffer from major depression at some point in their lives. Majority of Indians are most materialistic people in the world, westerners earn money to live a better life, Indians earn money only for saving. Indians have a great desire to possess. You may not have anything, and still you will be a materialist if the desire to possess is there. You may possess only a small hut or only a begging bowl, but that is enough for your whole possessiveness to be focused on. And you will be a materialist, not a spiritualist. Possessiveness and sexual repression has made life very miserable, it has resulted in increasing cases of depression in India.

I will learn about meditation. Celibacy cannot be taught. Only meditation can be taught. celibacy is the result. As meditation ripens, celibacy comes to fruit by itself. All effort is to be put into meditation. Someone asked Buddha, ”How shall we meditate?” Buddha replied, ”Whatsoever you do, do it with awareness; this is meditation. Walking, walk attentively, as if walking is everything; eating, eat with awareness, as if eating is everything; rising, rise with awareness; sitting, sit with awareness; all your actions become conscious, your mind does not travel beyond this moment, it remains in the moment, settles in the moment – this is meditation.” Love transforms, love is curative.

It will benefit , but don't expect a transcendence, it can't be a permanent cure.

When Kabir was weaving , there was no purpose, no reason, no resolution. When a Van Gogh paints a picture, there is no purpose, it is his love , his joy.

Some spiritual people are very rich, but earning money is not their goal. One of the mystics in India, Kabir, was a weaver. He had thousands of followers and still he continued to weave clothes. Even kings were his followers. But weaving cloths was his prayer, not work, When Kabir goes to the market with a bundle of cloth to sell, he goes there dancing. He addresses his customer as Rama, his God, and tells him that he has woven this piece of cloth especially for him, that he has interlaced it with prayers. Someone asks him why he does so even after attaining to lofty sagehood. In answer Kabir tells him, ”It is my prayer.” Kabir says, ”It is meditation when I walk, it is meditation when I eat, and it is meditation when I weave the cloth.”

People who try to control themselves have chosen a very foolish way. Control will not happen, but they will become cold. That is the only way a man can control himself — to become frozen so that energy does not arise. People who take the vows of celibacy will not eat much; in fact, they will starve their bodies. If more energy is created in the body, then there will be more sex energy, and then they don’t know what to do with it. So some monks eat only once a day — and then too, not enough. They eat only enough that bodily needs are fulfilled, very minimum needs, so no energy is left. This type of celibacy is not celibacy. When you are flowing with energy and the energy starts transforming itself into awareness then a celibacy, which is beautiful, happens. Meditation is simply the name for life lived with awareness. If you are living twenty-three hours a day without awareness, and only one hour with awareness, then you will never attain to the results.

The expression 'life purpose' is nonspiritual. Life is not a business, it is a play. And a play has no purpose really, it is non-purposeful. Can there be any purpose to being happy? What is the purpose of love? Happiness is itself the goal, there is no purpose to it. To be in love is the goal. The goal is not somewhere else; it is intrinsic, it is in the very phenomenon of love.

@Preetom Human mind as such is a daydreaming faculty. Unless you go beyond the mind, you will continue to daydream. Because the mind cannot exist in the present. It can either exist in the past or in the future. There is no way for the mind to exist in the present. To be in the present is to be without mind. Daydreaming will continue unless you start tasting meditation. Unless you are nourished on meditation, you will go on starving and hankering for some food in the future. This is what goes on happening to each mind – you long for something, it will happen, but by the time it happens you will see that you are still discontent. Something else is creating the misery now. This is something to be understood – that if your desire is not fulfilled, you are frustrated; if it is fulfilled, then too you are not fulfilled. That is the misery of desire. Fulfilled, you are not fulfilled. Suddenly many new things arise. You had never thought that when you will be a king, and horse-men will be in front of you and at the back of you, and a golden parasol will be over your head, the sun can be so hot that it can scorch your face. You had never thought about it. Then you dreamed of becoming a sun, and you become a sun, and you had never thought about the cloud. Now the cloud is there – and proving you impotent. And this goes on and on and on, like waves in the ocean… non-ending – unless you understand and simply jump out of the wheel. Life is here, life is now. If you are searching him in your daydreams, your search is in vain, because meditation is nothing but deep contentment. The mind that goes on telling you, ‘Do this, be that. Possess this, possess that… otherwise how can you be happy if you don’t have this? You have to have a palace, then you can be happy….’ If your happiness has a condition to it, you will remain unhappy. If you cannot be happy just as you are – a stone-cutter… I know hard is the labour, wages are poor, life is a struggle, I know – but if you cannot be happy as you are, in spite of it all; if you cannot be happy, you are not going to be happy ever. Unless a man is happy, simply happy, for no reason at all, unless a man is mad enough to be happy without any reason, a man is not going to be happy ever. You will always find something destroying your happiness. You will always find something missing, something absent. And that missing will become your daydream again. And you cannot achieve a state where everything, everything is available. Even if it is possible, then too you will not be happy. Just look at the mechanism of the mind: if everything is available as you want it, suddenly you will feel bored. Now what to do? You are daydreaming about the future because you have not tasted the present. Start tasting the present. Find out a few moments where you are simply delighting.

Money can't give fulfillment , but if you know how to use money it can make your spiritual journey easier before you reach stages of higher consciousness.

How can we know ? Do you think that enlightenment can be communicated through words ?
