  • 1 0:00  the conditioned soul in material   consciousness is not seeing itself as   the soul, it is identifying itself with   the body & then the bodily   identifications I'm Gujarati I'm marwari   I'm Sindhi I'm Bengali I'm Indian I'm   American I'm Chinese I'm Mexican I'm a   human being and even worse I am the mind https://youtu.be/dRMouFwOSyI&t=0 2 0:27 we don't even realize that the mind is   different and I am different, the mind   creates thoughts, think this, think this   think this and we keep identifying with   the thoughts, the scriptures say    you are not   thinking BUT your mind is thinking,  why don't   you distance yourself from the mind, the   end of all problems. But that so happens with   practice of self knowledge, slowly we   learn to see our ourselves as the soul   distinct from the body, distinct from the   mind and finally even distinct from the intellect  https://youtu.be/dRMouFwOSyI&t=27 3 1:11  Shri Krishna says such a soul   situated in karma yog resides in the   city of nine gates in   detachment, neither thinking of himself   to be the doer nor thinking of himself to be the   enjoyer of what is this city of nine gates,    the embodied beings who are   self-controlled and   detached reside happily in the city of nine gates free from thoughts that they are the doers  https://youtu.be/dRMouFwOSyI&t=71 4 2:27 God   Krishna says that there is a   City, in the city is a   House, in the house there's a   Courtyard, within the courtyard is a   secret ,one who knows that secret knows   everything that is to be known  https://youtu.be/dRMouFwOSyI&t=147 5 3:24 the city He talks about is the   body, in the body is the heart and   the courtyard is the space of the heart   and in that resides   Bhagavan, so one who knows that Brahma, he   knows everything that is to be known   https://youtu.be/dRMouFwOSyI&t=204 6 3:46 now here He's giving a similar   analogy, he is saying that there is a city   with nine   gates and this is our body, it has got   the nine gates   two eyes, two ears, two   nostrils, mouth, anus & genitals are the nine gates   to this body https://youtu.be/dRMouFwOSyI&t=226 7 4:15 now the purified   soul resides in the body like we all do   but the difference is we are identified   with the   body that is not so serious, even more   serious is we are identified with the   mind and we are identified with the   intellect and we are identified with the   ego and hence we are in this bound state https://youtu.be/dRMouFwOSyI&t=255 8 4:42 now the mind is a   mischievous   monkey and this mischievous monkey   called the mind is throwing up thoughts,   it has an algorithm of its own sometimes,   it says I am so happy   I so blessed to be in swami ji's retreat   and then after a few moments it says oh   you know but I could have I had these   other options, this was not the only   thing I could have done, maybe I made a   wrong choice, so this is all being thrown   up by the mind, not by the soul, the   mischievous monkey called the mind is   throwing up these thoughts that is its   Job, we the   Souls, the mistake we are making is we   are identifying with these thoughts and   that is why we are saying now I'm   Inspired, I'm not inspired based upon the state of the   mind  https://youtu.be/dRMouFwOSyI&t=282 9 5:44 but the realized Souls they create   a distance between the mind and   themselves and seeing that mind as   separate from them they can understand   oh at this moment the mind is trying to   seduce me with a not so wholesome    thought, with a nonbeneficial   detrimental thought, it is my choice   whether I accept it or I don't, I choose not to https://youtu.be/dRMouFwOSyI&t=344 10 6:18 now the moment you dissociate   yourself from the thought, it loses its   Power, so the thoughts, they do   come in all kinds   there's no limit to the kinds of   negative   thoughts and then if we see them as a   part of us they grip us https://youtu.be/dRMouFwOSyI&t=378 11 6:43 like one lady she came to me she said   swami ji, my brother died of cancer a few   months ago, first she said I'm in   depression, I'm so   Sorry, so she said my brother died of   cancer 5 months   Ago, I said oh really so ? is that the reason   for your depression no no   that is all right, I have released that,   the problem is I have started thinking   that I will also get   cancer and then I heard in your mind   management that if we think some   thoughts again we attract that those   circumstances to our life so here I'm   thinking I will get cancer, I will get   cancer and I'm just thinking that will   attract cancer to my life so I'm really and   seriously worried now https://youtu.be/dRMouFwOSyI&t=403 12 7:39 what is the mistake the lady   is making, the mistake is she's   attributing those thoughts to herself, I   am thinking like   This, now the next moment I'm thinking   Like that   , that's not the way to do it,  the moment   you adopt the thought, moment you see   yourself as the source of it, it becomes   energized and then it becomes stronger   and comes to you again and worried now & again until it starts creating a   new neural pathway and you feel that you   are in the grip of this negative   Chintan, now we realize that some of   these thoughts they don't align with our   goals or they may not even align with   our values, they may be   immoral so when people have those   thoughts, why am I thinking like   this, the moment they start doing that   they have energized the   thought that's exactly what the thought   wanted, the power and you have empowered it https://youtu.be/dRMouFwOSyI&t=459 13 8:50 instead a more enlightened way   Is, okay a thought has   come  but I'm not interested, like the birds   fly in the sky - they just fly away one   moment here, the second moment they are   gone, it's not that you have to chase   every bird that   comes, it is the same with these   Thoughts,  that freedom comes from self   knowledge when you deeply contemplate   the fact that you are not your   mind, you are the “seer” of the mind, the   soul, that monkey mind can work to your   Benefit but also it can work to your   Detriment, so it is for you to train it   the way you want now https://youtu.be/dRMouFwOSyI&t=530 14 9:46 supposing you are in the dark and a   stranger accosts you all of a sudden, you   see this big hulky guy,  you have two   options either to run from there or   to attempt to fight him because you know   that he's going to mug (torment) you, so you have to   either fight this danger or run away   from it but supposing you're walking on   the street and little children start   Heckling (bothering)   You, so is it advisable to fight them ? no   because they will only be provoked, is it   advisable to run no? because they'll run   after you, so in this case the advisable   thing is to ignore    them they'll say you know we teased him   , let's tease the next   guy likewise the moment you accept the   thought as your own that thought gains   an energy and the moment you distance   yourself from it, it loses its energy https://youtu.be/dRMouFwOSyI&t=586 15 10:51 that is the basis of the   sakshi, witness consciousness   so in   sakshi the self realized sages they surf   the emotions and sensations in the body,   they can even surf the pains in the body,   surfing (ride over them)  means they just surf it that is   why their ability to tolerate pains   because they see the pain is coming and   they say okay it is coming but I   distance myself from it, that same   sakshi has become popular in the western   world in a diluted form as mindfulness https://youtu.be/dRMouFwOSyI&t=651 16 11:36 so in mindfulness this   knowledge is not there in the mix that I   am the   soul but the concept is given of   watching your   Thoughts, so the   Intellectuals, the academicians, the   Scholars, they find this a very   convenient philosophy there is no need   to believe in either the soul or in God,   no need to have any kind of faith and   yet you have this powerful tool for mind   Management mindfulness https://youtu.be/dRMouFwOSyI&t=696 17 12:09 but it's in original form in   the vedas, it is the witness   consciousness Shri Krishna is saying the   same here, He says Arjun this self   realized   souls, they stay in this body and they   remain in witness   consciousness, so they are able to retain   their elevated state of thoughts and     consciousness https://youtu.be/dRMouFwOSyI&t=729 Standby link (in case youtube link does not work): Powerful Krishna Consciousness to Free your MIND from Worries and Negativity Swami Mukundananda.mp4
