Vasant Lad on Sankhya Philosophy

Akasha (space) offers the space and freedom for each cell and organism to exist. Without space, there is no possibility for communiucation among the cells. Akasa predominates in all spaces and cavities of the body including cranial space, sinus space, joints, pores, tubes, arteries and veins. It is the subtle element of sound that gives birth to space.

Vagbhata on Agni, or Fire

The Sanskrit word for “fire,” agni is viewed as the very source of life, governing not only the digestion of food but also the digestion process of thoughts, emotions, and life experience. Ayurveda teaches that impaired agni is at the root of every imbalance, and that tending this fire in the digestive system is the first step in restoring balance.

Dr. Vasant Lad on Hum Meditation

When sound, breath, and awareness come together, it becomes light… So Hum meditation properly practiced leads to the union of the individual with the universal Cosmic Consciousness. You will go beyond thought, beyond time and space, beyond cause and effect.
Limitations will vanish.

We also watched this video form Swami Sarvapriyananda.

In this video, we delve into the common struggles faced by those on a spiritual journey, from dealing with others’ concerns and facing loneliness to navigating existential crises and inner doubts. These experiences, though challenging, are integral to facing life’s showerings with courage and for spiritual awakening.

Rupert Spira on the Location of Consciousness

Although consciousness looks through your eyes, it does not mean it is located behind your eyes. Where could it be located?

Vasant Lad on Peace and Sound

No no no. There is no difference between the peace and sound.
Sound is peace and peace is sound, There is a great deal of peace
when you listen to the call of a bird, the cry of a child or a bell of a church.
That peace is your awareness.
You walk with peace, you eat with peace and you talk with peace.

Rupert Spira on Separate Selves

All apparently separate selves are always tending towards their source, their being, seeking peace, happiness, love and beauty.
In reality, of course, there is no real separate self either to seek happiness or not to seek. It is infinite being that, seeming to become separate, attracts itself back to itself.

Francis Lucille on Consciousness

If I deny the experience of consciousness, I deny the existence of a perceiver. Where does the sense of I come from?
