You may believe in God, you may not, or you may be an agnostic. But everyone experiences the waking state – Jagrata.

Sometimes what happens is we read so much of the scriptures that there is not enough space within to accommodate the understanding. 

For the Upanishads, you need 100% of your energy because we are talking about very subtle thoughts. 

There is a small word in between ‘Upa’ and ‘shad’ – ‘Ni’. ‘Ni’ indicates the position of one who teaches and one who’s listening.

What is Upanishad? ‘Upa’- means to be near, ‘shad’ – means to sit.

Ved – means to study, Anta means the end. So, Ved-anta means understanding when the need to study ends.

Pranava is that which gives the first thrust to the life forces.

When we meditate, we see that the mind wanders – either because we are attracted to something or repulsed by something.

If somebody has indeed emptied his or her mind in the process of life, there is a stillness that arises when the mind is without distraction.

Emptying oneself is neither a conscious nor an unconscious process. We need to understand it as a concept.

When I say I have to empty myself, it implies I am already full.

How can one learn when one is full? Empty all the things we instantly like or dislike
