This Monk Will Change Your Worldview - A Chilling Message By DANDAPANI

[Music] a lot of times I think people have this misconception that you know if you practice something in the morning people say to me you know down the pond if I practice meditation for ten minutes every morning is that gonna affect my life yes but what are you doing the remaining 23 hours and 15 minutes if you're doing things that counteract what you're doing in the morning then it doesn't help if you exercise the 10 minutes and morning the rest of the evening you know fish and chips and drinking beer and pizza laying in the couch it's not going to help so the people I work with have kind of changed over the years and I would say in the last two three years the people I worked with what do you really want to know is I think they've come to the realization that they know very little about the mind they're experts in their areas but they know very little about the mind and they really want to understand the mind better so that they can leverage their mind to be even better at what they do all of them want to leverage themselves better and they they feel like they have a lack of understanding of how their mind works so two things here Brian one is wanting to a quick fix to learning you know I spoke yesterday in Munich to a group of entrepreneurs and one guy asked me so this is their quick fix to having more energy in life I'm like there's no quick fix in life is that's the first thing you have to understand and I think technology trains us to think they're quick fixes so I can go on my phone I live in New York City last week I went on Amazon ordered something at 10:30 at night and the next morning at 8 o'clock in the morning FedEx busted my door and it was there it's crazy right so I can get things instantaneously through technology and then because we're so trained to getting things as soon as we want them that we apply that to our life and we think that yeah we can change overnight and then people out there selling hacks there's this hack that's that hack how we're gonna hack this how we're gonna hang business how we're gonna hack the mind how we're gonna hack the body but it doesn't work that way you have a child and your child is growing slowly and learning slowly there's no way to hack your child can you make you a three-year-old boy right you know three old boy learn walk faster talk walk faster then triple integrals by tomorrow why don't you hack him it doesn't work all right and then why us adults do we think we can hack everything it's not sustainable and then the other thing about being a teachers that you know that's another thing that's being sold out that besides hacking it's like you know let me certify you to be a yoga teacher let me certify you to be a life coach I know you're 19 years old and you never had any experiences in life no I have you done achieved anything that pushed you beyond the limits of your imagination but let me certify you as a life coach after a three-day weekend program and I think when you go with the idea that I'm going to learn something and then take that content and teach it you never really learn when I went to the Austrian to learn from my guru I went purely to be a student first of all I went there with the knowledge that I knew nothing I wanted to learn from him and then once I learned from him my goal was to strive to implement everything as best as possible I have zero intent to teach right and that and I feel when you take that approach you learn the best and some of the people that I work with purely have that approach their zero intention to teach they just really want to learn and so when you go that with that intention then you learn really well like we were chatting earlier you know if someone wants to learn martial arts they want to learn the quicks world 360 kungfu kick in the air or something you know one wants to go and do the hard work and that's all about the quick fix you know how can I get from A to B as quickly as possible and it's not only about training about it's about training the mind to write the mind needs to adjust in the mind is like a muscle that needs to reshape itself to be able to take on a new way of thinking and a new way of behaving and you know progressively hold that in your shape and that only comes through repetition and patience and slow hard work of doing the same thing over and over again and I think so many teachers out there are selling quick fixes and because they have never been trained themselves properly so they just they've got a quick fix learning to get from A to B so then they go and teach a quick way to get from A to B you know they don't understand it's old traditional path of slowly learning and developing yourself over a period of time this is what really creates mastery in a certain level you get used to being comfortable and that's the problem right you know you stay in an apartment for long enough you stay in the city for long enough you're comfortable you know where to go buy your milk your bread you know your surroundings to get comfortable you get used to it and you know one of the biggest teachings he taught me it's about awareness and the mind you're not the mind rather you're pure when I was traveling through different areas of the mind and your goal is to take your awareness from your conscious mind move it through the conscious mind through the subconscious into the superconscious area of the mind which is the most refined areas of your mind to experience it deeper in the States and ultimately self-realization God realization but awareness travels in the mind but when you get stuck physically in a certain place and you get used to your surroundings and your comforts your external environment is it's a reflection of how your awareness is working in your mind that means your awareness is stuck in a particular layer of the mind because there's really no separation between you're in a state and your outer state and what he was teaching me is that by moving me around making sure I never got comfortable long enough one place to to stay attached he was teaching me that to not allow my awareness in get stuck in a particular area of mine and in the particular of the mine and stay in a rut and that I could actually prime a break my awareness free from particularly Mike really grab hold of it and take it deep within myself and experience deeper states of mine and all right I mean if you go on most people's timelines a lot of people's times like it's amazing you can scroll through and it's just a thousand there's a thousand posts and it's a nine hundred and ninety nine nine pictures of themselves selfies and and I think social media has made people extremely selfish and all people think about is themselves you know here's what I'm doing look at me here look at me that you know and you look at also public figures and celebrities and influences they constantly post pictures of themselves and the amazing life traveling all around the world and you know I see and I know some of these people and they never post pictures of their students so you know who is following them it's always about them nobody spends time with themselves and when I say that people say this to people they go like oh I have a long time every evening when i'ma walk my dog for half an hour that's my like now that's walking your dog when I'm at the gym working out that's my a long time I got like no that's being in the gym alone time is used sitting down in the chair at home or on the floor cross-legged in no music no general no podcast your eyes close and spending time in contemplation in a reflection not meditation but in actual reflection and really having a conversation with yourself the same way we're having a conversation getting to know each other and and each other's opinions and thoughts you have a conversation with yourself and people don't do that right they don't spend any time doing that if you don't spend any time doing that how would you know what's important in your life where are you struggling and what you need to focus on next and what you need to work on you're so busy from the moment you from the moment the alarm rings the Reacher to the side table grab their phone turn off the alarm look at all the notifications and then stop stroking that phone this is how people get pledged in the morning stroking their phone and then every 10 years someone has a quote/unquote midlife crisis when they realized that they're living the life that they've never contemplated they've never planned they're not connected with right and then that's kind of life and then you're on your deathbed looking back saying what did I do why did I value these things and they're wondering why it's because they never spent the time in solitude with themselves do the work now so you can spend the rest of your life leaving a living a life that's an Enlightenment with your purpose once you figure out what you want and what your purpose in life is then you can spend the rest of your life living a life in alignment with that purpose and you know talking about deathbed you know when my girl was dying one of the last things he said on his deathbed was what an amazing life I would not have traded it for anything in the world what an amazing life I would not have traded it for anything in the world now what words to hear from a dying man you know to be able to look back on your life and say that was freaking spectacular so when you're so determined it's when you're so clear what you want in life and you're so determined to get to get it and you're willing to give up everything and everyone for it then you're living a life in alignment with your purpose and then you can spend the rest of your life in sync with who you are as opposed to chasing so many different things around you that that sparkle whether it's you know I want to be like that person and I want to do this and that sounds fascinating maybe I'll try that for a few years you know you meet kids nowadays for 18 19 20 years old when you ask them what do you want to do what are you studying in university oh I think I'll do science and for you and you know and then I might major in this but I was also thinking am I taking you off you know travel a little bit and then come back and I'm not sure maybe I'll do arts I'm kind of interested in this topic I not know what you want to do it's yo we have one life you can get a second shot at this get clear what you want [Music]
