India is an amazing country, its a land whose sustainable life practices which are ingrained in its culture, ensured that its civilization has continued despite facing numerous threats in past and present. Indians have had ideals like Buddha, Rama who have renounced even kingship for seeking deeper meanings of life. When the hankering in mind stops and it turns inwards, one realises the true value of our motherland. Seeking deeper meaning of life people visit saints and seek eternal meaning in this relative world.
I too had the good fortune of learning from a selfless master in Himalayas and attempted to learn the secrets of Yoga vashistha. There is no knowledge greater than Yoga Vashistha because it swallows the very mind which evaluates and judges knowledge as higher or lower. Some knowledge of Upanishads , Bhagavad Gita might be prerequisite to be able to understand and appreciate Yoga Vashistha. While I was in Himalayas I recorded the video lectures of regular Yoga Vashistha classes of Swami Premanand Saraswati for the benefit of spiritual seekers who are born or even yet to be born
I understand that for a seeker Yoga vashistha can be baffling therefore have created a small summary which seeks to introduce the subject.
Yoga vashistha says that individuality does not exists and presence of an independent identity apart from paramatmaa is an illusion. Lets discuss finer details of it.
You mean I dont exist ?
You exist, but your existence is not separate from the things you see. You see variety in nature but it exists only at surface level. All objects have one soul and are not different from Paramatman. So you exist as paramatman will be more appropriate thing to say.
So why do i feel pain, when i get hurt. Paramatman should feel pain.
