The Droplet and the Ocean | In Quest of Truth - Q&A with Babaji, No.224
Recorded on 29 March 2025 with worldwide participants
0:00 Intro
0:07 What is the droplet and what is the ocean?
2:47 Everything that we think we are as an individual does not actually exist?
3:57 Would it have been a very long journey to reach the situation we are in now where it's difficult to think in any other way?
9:07 A passage from the Viveka Choodamani - do we have to accept the world as it is and not go into a collision with it?
15:25 I it because we hold on to the thoughts and imaginations that we remain as a droplet?
20:50 Can a Yogi have a thought and still remain as the ocean?
24:18 Nothing has happened to the ocean of the Self, it remains intact.
34:18 Does the quietness have to be more interesting than the world?
38:49 What are the efforts that need to be made to return to the ocean, the Self, in addition to meditation?
41:12 Is there no in-between state between being Self Realised and not being Self Realised?
41:32 Does the Self have intelligence?
42:49 Does silence have a sound or a texture? How to recognise it?
45:44 Should I sit in meditation more than doing japam?
46:44 How can we achieve through paths other than meditation like Karma Yoga and Bhakti Yoga?
48:33 The more I am silent and meditate, I am unable to connect with family members.
49:45 Are animals and plants droplets also?
50:43 Does the space or ocean have some divine law or rules which we have to adhere to?
55:58 Is it the patterns and habits of the mind that go on as a seed to the next birth - is that the individual soul?
57:43 Although many masters have appeared throughout human history to bring everlasting peace, why is work still in progress?
