Group Meditation Audio & Notes – Sunday/Wednesday

Audio and notes from Sunday morning/ Wednesday evening meditation group session.

These will remain up for 1 week.

Group Meditation Sunday 13 September

“Peace” – Ashtavakra Samhita Ch18, vv. 18-27 | In Quest of Truth – Babaji Q&A, No. 282

In the session we played:

13:38 Our attention is always shifting between the past and the future, between a memory and an imagination. It never actually stays in the middle, on the Self.
15:37 If it’s beneficial to a larger cause, without getting mentally involved, the wise yogi does work mechanically.
17:37 There’s no longer an individual imagined self?
18:18 What is it that makes a yogi to act if they are in supreme peace and always free of desires?
20:07 Once the yogi becomes aware that they are the Self, is the body’s action just being carried on by the karma of the world, or of the creation?
21:18 You’ve liberated yourself, yet your body continues to serve humanity, by to trying to raise the consciousness. So isn’t that just an act of the Self continuing to use your body?
22:12 Verse 21. Easily, a yogi will have acceptance for the things that happen.
23:01 Verse 22. “A yogi moves in this world without the universe registering in their consciousness.”
24:11 There is neither joy nor sorrow, so what’s left?

Notes:

If mind stays in the present, all definitions disappear.
Yogis might appear as working, but in consciousness ‘it is all over’.
There is ‘no such thing that he has not achieved’. That individual self which wants to take credit has gone.
What makes yogi act?
– Either the body, or the ‘sattvic ego’ – i.e the ordained mission.
– To remove the illusion of ignorance from others.
No incident can affect the consciousness of a yogi in any way. Not bound by any imaginations. Like ceiling fan has been switched off and is still moving.
At ease. Both ideas of happy and unhappy have disappears. It is something and nothing.

Shri Babaji’s commentary on Ashtavakra Samhita is available as a digital or physical book.

Please note there is now a break to the next Group Meditation session.

Group Meditation Wednesday 9 September

2026-06-21 Ashtavakra Samhita (Chapter 18 vv 35 – 43) “Peace”

In the session we played:

0:24 What is pure intelligence?
1:58 Where does intelligence fit into creation?
3:50 Can we call that intelligence, cosmic intelligence as apposed to human intelligence?
5:09 What is the relationship between intelligence and mind?
6:34 “People devoted to many different practices don’t come to know the Self”. Is it discouraged to have many practices?
