Everyday battle with bad money.
The Buddha called it as “Dukha”.
Dukha means suffering.
The remedy that he found out was really a great remedy, but not very practical.
He said that “Get beyond the mind and the thought forms and then get into Nirvana.”
Once you get into nirvana, then it’s no more a battle, it’s no longer a battle.
You have transcended every obstacle so that the mind keeps creating for us.
It’s a great one but I wouldn’t say that he found something very new.
It is a matter of getting rid of all the tattvas like maya, karma, ego, and pancha kanchukas,
and purusha and prakriti.
Indian Philosophy is not just philosophical speculation, it is science.
It is science of the mind.
So, you can get rid of all restrictions imposed by maya.
Maya compresses everything and then misrepresents reality and also undermines our own nature
to be sovereign.
I don’t want to complicate it with lingo that’s not very profitable for practical
purposes.
So, the battle to come back to the battle of bad money continues on a daily basis.
The remedies that I would suggest in this small video clip is that you might want to
look at the Buddha model and for which most of the Gurus will put it something like “Stay
in the moment” or “It is your response.”
This you see all the time people talking about it is your response.
The bad money is still there regardless you change your response.
Unless you are a Siddha, you are a Master, then you can change the reality as you want
it because you can get beyond the human, limited mind, and limited ability to create things.
The humans can do that because they are all limited, they don’t have the Siddhi powers,
they are miraculous powers.
There are there and everybody can acquire them.
Siddhi power is the mind or the psychological apparatus functioning to the maximum level,
and that’s a training that Patanjali would give in his Vibhuti pada, and where he talks
about all the Siddhi powers and then there is Ashtama Siddhi.
When you have all these things, then you will understand this is an attitude and then this
attitude can be gotten rid of and you can go to the domain of the Siddhi powers and
then act from there.
There is also a saying that “Stay in the moment.”
To stay in the moment is extremely difficult because it is timelessness because time also
is a limitation brought to us by the veil of maya.
It is one of the pancha kanchukas that compartmentalizes time as a past, present, and future.
You have to become timeless in order to experience the moment.
And then if you are in the moment, then the bad spouse, or the bad girlfriend or boyfriend,
or the bad boss, or peers, they can even go away miraculously resolved.
So, for ordinary human beings who are just caught up in this mind, body limitation, so
what’s the way out?
The way out, I have been talking about the mantras.
The mantras were created for that purpose.
That’s why I am very particular that mantra meditation being the most powerful ones.
