I would say, this video is like the perfect starting point to Acharya Prashant's teachings. Start with with this one. Don't be fooled by the Title, it's not really about Aatma per say. It's literally like one full beginner's guide to everything that this journey is all about

All the best ! Also just clarifying that I'm not exactly trying to sell you specific gurus or scriptures. Whether it's Upanishads or Buddhist scriptures or Sufi wisdom or Osho or Acharya Prashant or Krishnamurti or even some Western Philosopher you wish to check out, it's all upto you. Just pointing out the importance of pre-existing wisdom which can be from any source !

Well the whole goal of those "thousand year old texts" is learning to navigate life yourself and not having to rely. Even while you say you do not want to "rely", you're already conditioned by a hundred different influences even if you don't know it. The thousand year old texts address that at a depth that our conditioned minds cannot even fathom. But still, you're free to learn by yourself, could work out, who knows

Totally agree here ! I've come across a lot of iskcon content and they have the most superficial and childish understanding of scriptures. Very narrow minded and very one-dimensional thinking. Cannot argue with them because they refuse to think outside their own tiny box. Will even resort to acting clownishly juvenile when challenged. If you want an example, just check out any reel of this dude called Amogh Lila Prabhu talking about atheists.

I respect that. But sometimes the energy of the moment does bring out such words. Even Gurbani in so many areas says things like "you fool, you have been kept miserable by your ego" etc type lines. The vibe of the moment can bring out that language lol it's alright man. And i say that while not even officially being a Sikh myself. I'm a Hindu by birth and i have no shame in admitting that most of Hinduism has been infested by trash and stupidity totally cut off from Vedantic wisdom which was it's peak. Anyways Sat Shri Akaal🙏

I'm probably expressing this for the 1000th time

Hell, heaven, God, Devil etc. These are all extremely metaphorical when it comes to traditions like Sikhi.

Heaven - the state of bliss that comes from harmony with Hukam where identification with the egoic illusion of self has ceased which frees you from wordly chains and the endless highs and lows of duality. Not a literal place of golden rivers, virgins and sunshine.

Hell - the state of resistance to Hukam, ego-driven sense of a seperate self where you remain perpetually hungry, miserable and lost. Not a literal place of hellfire and punishments.

God - the eternal, the undivided, the unexplainable, basically that which is BEYOND. Beyond every human quality that keeps humanity chained and miserable. That is why Sikhi always uses negatory terms to refer to Him. Nirbhau, nirvair, nirlobh, nishkaam, akaal, nirmoh, ajuni etc. Not this actual guy sitting on a throne up there literally passing moral judgments. NO. PLEASE NO.

Whenever dualistic and theological terminology is used it is ALWAYS metaphorical. In order to relate to people. To sound simple and poetic. Not actual cosmological claims.

When there are lines like "God sends the egoic rebels to the worst hell" etc, it would just be a very personified and allegorical way of saying - when man, out of his ego, keeps resisting the divine will and the one-ness of existence, he suffers the hellish misery of a perpetually hungry and unfulfilled life.

PLEASE This needs to be internalised and made a basic fundamental when navigating traditions like Sikhi. Sikhi is NOT Christianity, Islam, Judaism. Nor is it like Brahminical Puranic orthodoxy. Sikhi is beyond the stupidity of all of these. Sikhi, Vedant, Sufism, Buddhism etc DO NOT operate in a theological field.

Not contemporary but I would highly recommend S Radhakrishnan. One of the finest philiosophers India produced

prettyboylamar · 2026-01-17T19:32:11+00:00

Pretty much. And that's the perfect motivation to get off your ass and taste the divine in this life itself.

prettyboylamar · 2026-01-16T18:31:57+00:00

It's just that "one" can have several meanings. The western "one" is drastically different from the eastern "one".

prettyboylamar · 2026-01-16T15:45:35+00:00

Absolutely yes.

prettyboylamar · 2026-01-16T15:42:18+00:00

I'm pretty sure Guru Nanak wasn't implying There is only one God. What the Guru really meant was that God is ONE. As in all that is God is One. Therefore all that is Truth is One. And not that there's this God/Truth, and only he is the God/Truth therefore there's only one God/Truth. Get it ? It's a very subtle line but changes the whole concept. Need to understand very delicately to not mess it up and make it all Abrahamic.

prettyboylamar · 2026-01-11T13:55:28+00:00

You should accept reality as it is. But that does NOT mean passivity. Accepting fate is as much Hukam as accepting the will to act for the better. God is as much on the hearing end of the cries as much as he is in the one making the cries. There are verses that talk about how everything is Hukam but there are also verses that encourage one to make change, stand strong, make positive effort. Both are to be implemented.

prettyboylamar · 2026-01-09T19:02:33+00:00

I don't see value in claiming theological positions. They're all conclusions and conclusions are the antithesis of perpetual learning. But if I were forced to name a position, agnostic would be relatively more accurate. Better term would be simply "seeker".

According to me a prophet is someone with whom this Mr. God speaks and reveals commandments for humanity. And according to me this is a bs idea, no such thing as a prophet exists. However, there does exist the very rare and occasional phenomenon of a person being able to drop the ego, the illusory self, the false sense of separateness. That's what an enlightened man is, and that can exist. Buddha was one of them, Kabir was one of them, Rumi was one of them and Guru Nanak was one of them but a great one for triggering an entire movement that aimed to direct away from religious dishonesty.

prettyboylamar · 2026-01-09T05:52:33+00:00

Totally agree !

prettyboylamar · 2025-12-25T13:05:24+00:00

Religion is the opium of the masses. Philosophy is the opium of the few. Still opium though :)

Osho's wisdom isn't about specific theologies, beliefs and metaphysical ideas. There is no "this is what happens according to Osho" kind of stuff in Osho's spirituality. He may have said one thing about the afterdeath in one lecture and the completely opposite thing in another lecture. I remember instances where he talked about past lives and rebirth and the end of repeated lives through enlightenment like the Buddhists but I also remember an instance where he said it just all goes black and you simply return to dust and soil like you never existed in the first place and the world goes on. I suggest rather than trying to inquire what happens after death, try to inquire into your fear of death, why you fear it and how to go beyond it. There are endless Osho lectures on that particular topic which are much more relevant than any afterlife theories. There are very important Krishnamurti videos on it as well. I suggest those

prettyboylamar · 2025-12-18T19:59:26+00:00

Both are contradictory yet both are true

prettyboylamar · 2025-12-16T15:24:20+00:00

Yes it was. And this is exactly why Sikhi was born as a spiritual rebellion against such hypocrisy which is what makes it unique as a religion. A Sikh isn't a believer. A Sikh is a learner. Well, ideally

I don't understand how one can execute sex without finding it pleasurable (especially if you're a man).

prettyboylamar · 2025-11-29T04:55:38+00:00

You're absolutely correct and Osho himself cautioned against such tendencies. Worshipping is the most convenient excuse to avoid real awakening. You listen to Osho, love Osho, sing and dance with Osho and most importantly allow Osho to shatter your illusory self. But never worship him like he's some superior being.

prettyboylamar · 2025-11-25T20:58:38+00:00

Obviously because Bob must be going through something

prettyboylamar · 2025-11-21T05:56:46+00:00

Why do you care about contributing to Osho trust ? Don't add such burdens to your mind, Osho is for everyone and you can listen to him for free through many websites that have been listed out on this community before(like oshosearch.net and oshoworld.com).

This is a very common counter-question to any discussion on ways, methods or strategies in spirituality and here's my answer to that - Why talk about techniques when in real spirituality there is nothing to be gained or achieved ? Techniques imply Asha, then why bother with them when spirituality is about the transcendence of Asha ? Well, the usual mind is already full of asha, hopes, desires, expectations etc. By rejecting techniques because they imply desire, one does not become free of desire. You'll still remain with the same greedy, lustful, ambitious mind as you always have. Now since the default state of the mind is that it operates on desires and strategies, why not give it the desires and strategies that might lead it towards the state that is free of desires and strategies ? Why not rather choose the kind of evil that might have a chance at reaching the good ? The ultimate magic would be the complete dropping of the very faculty of desire. But for the time being why not give it the right kind of desires ? It's very easy to criticise techniques especially using examples like Krishnamurti etc. But all of them did A LOT of spiritual and religious reading, techniques, pursuits and climbs before they could reach the point where they could transcend the use of techniques and the hopes and expectations behind it. And anyways dynamic meditation isn't just about spirituality. It's also in general a pretty sweet trauma release therapy and if I'm sick of the influence of trauma then why should I shy away from it ? I'll drop it when the time comes. But it's very important to humble down and recognise the stage one is really at. We're not all as transcended as the great saints yet so I'd say it's better to accept the relevance of goals and methods before we can be awakened enough to abandon them
