Connecting the Inner and Outer Worlds | Sri M | Sacred Grove, Graham, TX | 2023 Spring Retreat 1

in this video, Sri M, explains the outer world that we percieve through our senses of perception. With simple relatable examples, he proves that what we see and perceive may not be what we think them to be. He links our experience of the outer world to the consciousness in us, which he explains is the true experiencer of everything we do. To illustrate this concept, he quotes a Malayalam sloka, sung by old ladies in Kerala and translates it. 'Kanninu kannu manamagum kannu, athinu kannayirunna porul thaanaennu ariyum allo anandamenthu, hari narayanaya namaha' In the short Q & A session at the end, Sri M, answers questions on Ramana Maharishi, for whom, there was no going in or coming out of Samadhi. To explain this further, he gives a gist of the Ashtavakra Gita, which is the teaching of the great Rishi Ashtavakra to Raja Rishi Kong Janaka. The session ends with an interesting question about the probes used on him, to hasten his spiritual development, the dangers, and the role of Kriya in achieving the same result in a safer and gentle manner.
