🙏 Namaste 🙏

Well, you haven't really examined, I mean you haven't really explored, because the only tools up until this point that you've ever had are prescriptions.

And therefore you've always looked at things from the standpoint of what did I do wrong, who's to blame, how could I have been better in all of these things.

And so the only tools that you had at your disposal were the ones that society gave to you.

And therefore, until you find that, until you find, discover the realization in yourself, not because I say, but on your own, that those tools are not effective for you or for anyone.

And you cannot say that you've already found that because you haven't.

You haven't been following my work long enough to know that yet.

So until that that realization dawns that those tools of prescription and rightness and wrongness and betterment and improvement and modification and strategy and routine and hacks and all of these things and methods until those are seen to be ineffective and utterly wasteful, That's what you have not seen.

So, what is the role of truth in someone's life who is trying to be financially free?

In 1 of your talks you said that someone who is busy feeding his stomach might not be you know have such a strong seek for truth but in my case though I'm not financially free I have a very I don't know why I'm just attracted to your work and these things.

So what is the role of truth for someone who's trying to be financially free?

Well, if someone is seeking truth, then they everything has truth.

So there is no reason to go live in a cave.

In whatever one's work is, there is truth.

Unless 1 does it in a cosmetic fashion, or unless 1 does something that 1 has no or limited talent or limited interest for, then there is absolute truth in everything.

In fact, it is the only relevant portions of life.

Oh, I'm sorry, I pressed the raise hand button on the stick.

My question is, what is the difference between a human life and a non-human life, if there is any.

Have you arrived to where you wish to arrive?

If I see problems, I don't really dwell in them.

Okay, so then why would you say that your life is not perfect then?

If you've arrived where you wish to arrive and you don't really have any problems, That's pretty perfect.

If you are invited on stage, you may ask your question.

Siddha I am very suffer from you know humanity so what should I do?

14 jumping jacks, 3 sit ups and 1 mile around the track.

My question is about arrival to a valuable life because I feel like I live a valuable life by default, but I get kind of like hooked on to these pitfalls like pleasure chasing or many of the pitfalls that you discuss.

And I feel like I'm slowly spending less time in those pitfalls.

I'm being more aware of them and becoming less frequently hooked on.

And I'm just trying to understand, is truth seeking in your experience something that is gradual and almost a difficult process?

Why do you think that you live a valuable life?

I feel like when, like kind of by default, like before I was really, Is it alright if I think about it?

Is the source shell, with regards to human activity, is it caused by, I don't want to ask is it caused by something because I don't know if that'll help.

I just want to understand why It occurs what why why we humans Feel or notion don't don't Is that is that a is that question kind of clear?

I'm not sure what context you're using in Nur Shahin.

The context I'm using it in is in the sense that I remember you put out a tweet once, men coast, but even when they realize progress isn't actually getting to where you want to get it, progress suits itself.

You realize that people don't really do anything.

It's almost as if we run in place, instead of having our desires take us from 1 place to another.

But that shouldn't be that you take my word for it.

It just means that 1 has to examine to see how he is running in place.

I just wanted to understand, I guess it's self image.

I don't want to just go like, oh, it's just the mind.

I don't want to thought a cliche answer, but

There are a few reasons I think are the way I look at what a valuable life is in the way I live.

For example, kind of having a state of flow, being very immersed in what I'm doing, at the same time kind of feeling like I'm very aware in that meditative state and then also kind of the feedback I get from other people saying that my voice kind of cuts through the noise or I look at things very clearly.

I know it's kind of cliche, but a few things like that I think is my default state of living, but not necessarily where I spend the majority of my time.

And so my question is you talk a lot about arrival and in my experience I'm spending more time as I become more experienced in the pitfalls and understanding how I can avoid them?

And in your experience, is it kind of a gradual process that you continuously improve at, or it might be more effective to look at something that's more of a sudden arrival?

Well transformation does happen in an instant There is no such thing as building towards.

Progress is a myth Particularly in things The things that I discussed are not mechanical and so it's going to be the opposite of mechanical.

In the world of mechanics you can give a prescription.

In the world of mechanics there is progress.

If you are building a house there is progress that the foundation is done, or the first floor is done.

But in this, in the realm of the mind, in the realm of human transformation, There is no such thing as collecting enough points, gaining enough rewards, putting in enough time, doing enough good deeds, practicing enough austerities, meditation hours, all of those things are counter to truth.

So if there is something that allows someone to get somewhere, it truly is seriousness and maturity.

And if something takes time, it is probably that.

The arrival is not being prevented by not doing the right thing or not practicing enough austerities.

The arrival is being prevented by the fact that you don't really want it enough yet.

And the moment that someone wants it, then they're all in and they expose themselves to truth 24-7.

And that's a person who demonstrates that to himself, that that's what they truly want.

Why is it that when I hear the truth I get feelings in the first place, in the beginning, but then I return to the same old place again, and that loop keeps going.

Well, because you understand it only intellectually.

And the feelings arise from the fact that if it's really truth, then it stands starkly in the background of the falsehoods that you're used to, and therefore it provides a feeling.

But it doesn't last because it isn't truly understood, it isn't truly imbibed.

I believe I have built a valuable life, but I struggle with this last humming

That depends entirely upon one's dedication to discovering the truth.

I just want to know if someone is trying to fulfill a desire, whatever that desire may be, whether it's more women, more money, is that just them trying to run from the truth or stopping themselves from reaching that truth?

Well, whatever desire a person has, he has.

So if you were told that it's X and Y and Z, is that going to make you stop having the desire?

Hello, Kapil, can you you you you you you

The questions seem to be diminishing over time, which is a very effective sign.

It is a sign that perhaps the human being is recognizing that much of the questions that he has are cosmetic, how-to, prescriptive questions.

And that tool being taken away from him leaves him nothing else to ask.

Which demonstrates very clearly that the only thing that a human being knows how to do is to ask how-to questions.

And it is precisely for that reason that humans don't get anywhere.

Because how-to's and prescriptions and methods and techniques and hacks are the blind leading the blind.

Inferiority complex, I suffer from it a lot and I don't know from where it is coming.

Hello, Sudha, thanks for letting me speak.

My question was, can a constant exposure to the non-truth at the mental layer, intellectual layer, conditioning layer, or the ego layer, can that constant exposure and better understanding of the opposite, that seriousness is manifested as desire to understand the known truth?

Well, I think that's a very, there's a very easy way to answer that question, is by examining your own life and by the examining of the life of the people that you know and examining the life of all the human beings at large, that's exactly what has happened, is a lifelong constant exposure to untruth, and examine what has happened from that.

Has the result of a constant exposure to untruth from society resulted in people seeking

So the opposite doesn't happen, like the truth is seeking to discover itself and that is leading to recognizing everything around somebody as untrue.

Why would the truth want to discover itself?

Truth does not give 2 cents about a human being.

These are all just spiritual quotes that you've picked up.

These things are really, they should do a stand-up comedy routine about these things.

And then they should do a scientific study.

And since you happen to love science, and others happen to love science, do a scientific study.

How many human beings who follow all the austerities and can preach the gospel and can tell you every single minute of meditation that they did.

How many of them actually get somewhere in terms of permanence, be it enlightenment or realization or freedom or whatever it may be.

I don't mean 5 minutes of feeling a modicum of peace.

I mean, truly, after which a before and an after, to which they're totally transformed.

Hi, I meant to ask this as a follow up question last time I was here.

Is there a driving force behind how you show up in this way?

I guess I only know you as as how I've always known you.

Well I don't know if you're using you in a proverbial sense or are you asking me?

Everything just, everything happens, everything happens organically.

There, there is not, it isn't, it isn't motivated by strategy or, there really isn't anything that I get from this, to be honest.

And the moment that it happens, I find myself here like you find myself.

So it's not by decision, but just because.

Actions that are driven by decision and choice are very limited actions.

And in the world of truth, the motivational aspect, the engine behind things is an unpredictable spontaneity.

I guess to me, decision is what cuts a motivation like a motivational source.

It's I guess just the way I perceive it is, is just the doesn't have to be a motivational or purposeful thing.

But at the end of the day, they're like you log on here and you show up.

That is, you make the app doesn't open itself.

You know, it's there is a voluntary aspect to it.

Yes, you could say there's a voluntary aspect to it, but the voluntary aspects all ride the vehicle of an unseen force.
