Recorded on 15 March 2025 with worldwide participants.
0:00 Intro
0:14 Why does Babaji recommend that we put in efforts to become quiet in the mind?
5:55 Is the concentration of the mind the same as the quietening of the mind?
7:40 Why has it become so difficult for the mind to be quiet?
10:11 Do we need to let go of desires and expectations in order to become quiet?
13:39 Is the recommendation not to be too attached to things?
17:54 What should we be doing in the meditation for the mind to become quiet?
26:37 So during meditation we should not worry about whether we are quiet or not, just apply the method?
27:06 A Yogi may appear to be acting in a normal way but inside is totally different?
32:36 Outside meditation, when active in the world, how can we be quiet?
34:28 When staring off into space and not thinking, is that laziness or something else?
35:52 Can we use the mind in the same way we use a switch to turn a light on whenever we need it?
37:19 While reading Ashtavakra Samhita, I experience an attachment to god for a short while, is that ok?
38:13 If 100 people in the world become Self Realised and the world collapses, what about the rest of humanity - what will happen to them?
38:45 How is the Ultimate Truth of the mind and the Divinity the same thing?
40:09 At the end of the meditation, how do I know whether my attention slipped off during the meditation?
41:46 How to achieve being mentally quiet through Bhakti yoga and Karma yoga?
42:53 I experience short periods of silence during meditation, how to prolong the silence and reduce the chatter?
43:48 When getting up in the morning, the mind starts overthinking and gives discomfort to the body in meditation.
45:00 Until we perfect holding the eyeballs in between eyebrows, the eyes are still active in meditation - is purification still happening?
