0:02 Everyone everyone's been reciting uh almost most of us on a daily basis. some uh with a few hiccups here and there. This this short video appearance or video communication with you all is to share a few um moments of truth that could adapt into clarity and understanding of what
0:47 we're actually doing in the mental clarity level two which is make. So we've entered into a knowledge base which is of a rare and it is only for the select few. Not everyone gets through this. I I think you've heard me say this over and over. In a class of 12, only one person has lasted this long. So in a class of several hundreds, there's only about five or six that's lasted. So it's it's a very rare phenomena to get this knowledge in in your life to be having access in your life. So what we would like to request here is to show that show that importance to that knowledge show that importance to this wisdom that is coming to you through the community through
1:34 healing warrior tribe. How do we show that I'm reciting Rajan like what else do you want me to do? There is paravidya and there is a vidya. The reciting of Apra Vidya sounds like as if you're running to catch a train and you have to do your homework and get it done. There is no heart to it. There is no understanding of it. There is no meaning to it. But understand it's still early early stages. We've just completed a couple of lessons and it might still be overwhelming to understand a foreign language. Some meanings of depth that is quite intense and controversial. also makes you think like this what is all this like how am I supposed to live and triggering all the questions go back to the basics the
2:19 lesson shanamanas starting with this is paravidya don't treat it like a praavidya take time to listen listen to what you are reciting your own words and then listen to your fellow classmates fellow tribe mmates who are reciting let the sound of this vidya Let the sound of this wisdom fall into your ears. Shraanam is to listen. Manam is to think about what you're hearing. It's to memorize. It's to recite. It's to be make it um get into a relationship with. It's about having integration with the knowledge with the wisdom
3:04 itself. And then Nidi asked them whatever you have understood you could even just take one word and then contemplate on that and see what is the clarity that you've received today. When you follow on these very simple methodologies of taking out keep about 10 minutes 10 to 15 minutes for yourself for your growth. This is your truth. This is your purpose. There that is nothing else that's more important than this in your life. This is about you about your birth about why all the things that's happened in your life have happened. Where have you reached? Where are you? Think about this and that's all is the requirement. Give that honest 10
3:51 minutes. Don't rush through. Don't do it as another chore in midst of your worldly life, in midst of your busy life. Try try a little bit more for the people who recite once in a few days and not having to report on a daily basis. That that sort of luxury does not come with paravidya. You need to attend 10 minutes a day every day. If you're stuck without a phone, you broke your phone or you're trapped somewhere and all of those type of things. Take a notebook, take keep the recitation, keep it going, and then report back to your coordinators, your group coordinators who are who are assigned, who you've been assigned to, who are your caretakers. Pop the questions, whatever questions that you're getting. Pop the
4:37 questions to them. Give them a chance to contemplate with you. Work together. Work as a collective. Don't be a separate self here because that is how Aprida works. Don't try to become a class topper by, you know, having all these amazing recitations but can't understand what what the meaning of it is. What whatever the triggers are, whatever it's bringing out in contemplation for you, bring it out. Share it. Share it to your group coordinators, Kunas, Sneha and Ashtoh. Give them a chance to collaborate with you with this knowledge. Give them a chance to contemplate with you this knowledge. Only as a collective we can grow together otherwise we'll fall down. We'll fall apart. The knowledge helps us
5:23 the wisdom helps us to hold each other together. All right. Uh there are some steps that the guys had written to help have a a clear structure to be able to follow this. Apart from what I've just mentioned how we show up once a week share a voice note or a video from your lived experience. So what that means is how VM has reflected for you this week. Pick up the phone just as you take a selfie. Talk as if talking to me like how I'm talking to you right now. Talk to me. Talk back to us. Pick up the phone and say hey I had this revelation today from this verse 1.6 da da da da and this is what I felt. It doesn't need to be a long story. All we require is like a minute to couple of minutes.
6:09 funny the first minute will be the hardest to speak and then you cannot stop because it will be coming like a waterfall. So be aware there's 22 of us. Uh so keep it short, keep it brief but keep it real real experiences not what you have to um what you've read in the translation there but your real true experiences how it is showing up for you. And if it's not showing up for you that's also fine. to say that I haven't really had anything yet, but I am reciting every day and I am showing up as a better person. I'm understanding that I should show up with gratitude, with compassion, with kindness, without comparison, without judgment, without hatred, guilt, shame, and anger. I'm
6:54 showing up as someone who's worthy of these scriptures, worthy of these ancient wisdom of the creator that's been sent to us. So here I am. I want to conclude um this virtual chat with you where I want you to think about the attributes of a student of Vantam and which one are you embodying at least pick three pick three that finds you to be uh that stands out for you and then try to embody that and see what the experience of your dayto-day life is with your family, your communities, your society, your children, your workspace. Um another idea that popped up um Prima suggested Prima the team as well suggested is um to have a subgroup where
7:42 we can have a group just for contemplation because there's a lot of us and having contemplation in the same space as recitation will become a bit um clouded day and we will lose track of the recitation because that has its own rhythm and it's been flowing beautifully. Everyone's doing an amazing job. Just for the ones who don't uh recite on a daily basis, just pick up your game and recite. Just show at least five minutes to show up to that recitation and listen to your own recitation if you're not listening to others recitation. But make it a point to listen to others recitation and then we'll have a subgroup where you can throw in your contemplations and then people can discuss and talk about it. have this open this forum where you can engage and the coordinators can actually
8:29 guide through text snippets, share video messages and then once a week I would like to see your contemplation maybe a two-minute video from you talking to me saying what is that you have understood? What is that you have changed about yourself since you started this lessons? What has changed in your environment since you embodied these lessons? And how have you embodied these lessons? And what do you feel about these these um this knowledge? What what is that this knowledge means to you? All right. Seems like what you would like us to engage in. Give this video a thumbs up. We'll create a subgroup. We will create a folder for you to drop in your contemplation once a week. Someone will
9:15 drop a reminder in the contemplation group if that's coming through. And then you can attend to it two minutes of contemplation once a week in a video format and then everyday contemplation can go into the contemplation group uh as a share and care so that we can all learn and grow together because it's a big wide world out there and it's not easy for us to be navigating this through by ourselves. So let's gather hands, put our thoughts together, weave through this knowledge and and showcase how this knowledge actually sits in our day-to-day life. And this is the best way to learn, guys. I've been learning this for some years now, and I've seen a lot of people come and go and fall because the ego does not allow us to progress. When we hold hands
10:03 together, come together, we can overcome Maya's web. Ego is nothing but a strong tool of maya that we stuck in. So we will slowly slowly it'll dissolve itself to make way for the truth to reveal. When one truth reveals it expands into the greater circle. All right with that I thank everyone for listening. If it's a bit too long I apologize. However, it was needed for me to communicate to you in this manner so that I can connect to you and reach out to you. All right, looking forward for the future satsang and the lessons coming forward. Nandri, namaskarum.
