What makes thoughts arise?8:39 So could you say that creation in the mind is a second nature of the mind?10:19 Once Self Realization has happened, will nothing make the mind go back to the world?10:46 What is it about the unrealized person that keeps us involved in the Maya, unable to see the truth of our own Self?11:30 The difference between an intention and desire is you want something to happen, but you have no attachment to it?12:35 Babaji comments on the term in science, 'singularity'15:56 For the Self Realized person, what happens to karma? 18:08 What is it that makes consciousness become mind?18:42 Chapter 14, verse 1 - the indifference of a Yogi to the world.20:24 Chapter 14, verse 2 - What keeps a Self Realized person functioning, if there is no attachment to the world?23:10 For the Self Realized person the wisdom comes spontaneously.24:16 So the scriptures and knowledge are really unnecessary?25:15 What books would Babji recommend people to read for inspiration, besides the Ashtavakra Gita?26:04 Chapter 14, verse 3 - Is a Self-Realized person just a silent witness to everything that's happening?27:48 Chapter 14, verse 4 - the Self Realized person can be involved in thought, but never loses awareness that He's infinite, eternal, unbounded?29:42 "For the Self Realized one, the mind will be infinite like space."33:16 Seeing everything as divine, every atom.33:58 "knowledge is self experience"35:55 Consciousness has potential to express itself in some type of creation or imagination - when that's there, you call it mind, when it's not there you call it consciousness?37:55 Science will never fully prove the Self because the only way to know the Self is to become the Self?40:56 You can't tell who's an enlightened person by looking at them.41:38 Babaji's use of word peace instead of tranquility.43:18 Are the imprints in the mind, the habits and patterns we have adopted? 47:41 How to explain to others about the spiritual path.49:38 Is our ability to understand from our karma?50:17 In nirvikalpa samadhi Babaji observed matter disappearing - does that mean the universe doesn't exist without an observer to observe it?51:19 What is on the other side of a black hole?52:48 What is the best way to select and cultivate a purpose in life?54:08 The role of enjoyment in a Self Realized being.57:15 Should one sit in one place to chant mantra japa?58:01 How to get rid of negative imprints of somebody?59:09 Are peace and silence the only worldly imaginations of the space?1:00:13 How to know whether a thought is arising from intuition or the imagination.1:01:10 Can unhappiness return for enlightened ones?___Website: http://www.srby.orgFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/shivarudrabalayogiTwitter: https://twitter.com/SRBYmissionInstagrRegister your free place for the live online meditation and Q&A with Babaji: https://www.shivarudrabalayogi.org/en/online-satsang Website: http://www.srby.orgFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/shivarudrabalayogiTwitter: https://twitter.com/SRBYmissionInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/shivarudrabalayogi/
An inquest into the death of a Clare woman at University Hospital Limerick a day after suffering a miscarriage was told her family are “haunted” by fears that suspected sepsis was not acted upon in a timely manner. Leona Cusack, from Ballycasey in Shannon died on the 18th of February 2024. The 33-year-old was just over five weeks pregnant following IVF when she came to the maternity hospital in the early hours of 15th February. The inquest heard the clinical markers for sepsis were present when she presented at the hospital on the morning of 17th February, yet she did not receive broad spectrum antibiotics until 4pm, which doctors acknowledged was a breach of protocol. Alan Morrissey was joined by Damien Tansey, Solicitor for the Cusack Family on Monday's Morning Focus.
The inquest into the deaths of the Cradock Four has adjourned to resume on Friday at the Gqeberha High Court in the Eastern Cape. The inquest seeks to determine whether anyone can be held responsible for the killings of anti-apartheid activists Fort Calata, Matthew Goniwe, Sicelo Mhlauli, and Sparrow Mkhonto. Proceedings of the inquest have been marred by delays with former Apartheid Security Branch Officer, Eugene de Kock indicating his unavailability due to ill-health. For the latest, Sakina Kamwendo spoke to SABC Tombozuko Balintulo
Professor Bobby Smyth, a consultant child and adolescent psychiatrist, explains the risks associated with young people inhaling aerosols.
The person in charge of flood forecasting during Cyclone Gabrielle can't explain why it took two hours to alert Civil Defence that river level monitoring equipment wasn't working. Tairawhiti Hawke's Bay reporter Alexa Cook reports.
: The inquest into the killings of the Cradock Four - Fort Calata, Matthew Goniwe, Sicelo Mhlauli, and Sparrow Mkonto-, will resume with its second sitting from TOMORROW at the Gqeberha High Court. Aside from the first two days, this 2 week session will focus primarily on the persons of interest. The inquest is expecting to hear the evidence of, among others, Mbulelo Goniwe, nephew of the late Matthew Goniwe -, Bantu Holomisa, former Chairman of the Transkei Military Council and Council of Ministers and Eugene de Kock, former Vlakplaas commander. This is the third inquest to examine the circumstances of the deaths of the Cradock 4 and comes after decades of obstruction, political interference, and institutional failure. The Cradock 4 were stopped at a roadblock in June 1985 by security officers. They were beaten, strangled with telephone wire, stabbed and shot to death in one of the most notorious killings of South Africa's apartheid era. Lukhanyo Calata, son of Fort Calata, spoke to Elvis Presslin
Alexa talks about this week's Coroner's Inquest into Cyclone Gabrielle, the legal action being taken against Wairoa's regional council and the village of Onga Onga celebrates 150 years.
The first witness to give evidence at a coronial inquiry looking into the deaths of 13 people during Cyclone Gabrielle says Gisborne's civil defence was better organised than Hawkes Bay. Ken Cooper was the central Team Leader for Urban Search and Rescue during the cyclone and was deployed to Tairawhiti first, before moving on to the Hawkes Bay region. Mr Cooper's evidence is part of a three week inquest at Hastings District Court to examine the emergency response on preparedness of authorities during the devastating 2023 storm. Alexa Cook reports.
Missing Inquest Records and Washington's Denial Fuel 250-Year Mystery Professor Benjamin L. Carp, Professor of History at Brooklyn College and the CUNY Graduate Center | The Great New York Fire of 1776: A Lost Story of the American Revolution Immediately after the fire, the British detained many as suspected arsonists, often for possessing "combustibles" (long matches, turpentine, gunpowder). George Washington publicly denied knowledge, writing that they had "no idea how this happened." Crucially, there is no document where anyone confessed at the time. General Howe's inquiry records were lost in a fire in Ireland in 1826, and prisoner records were lost at sea in 1780, leaving key evidence missing. Nathan Hale, executed the next day for spying, has often been historically associated with the fire due to the timing.

The National Prosecuting Authority, NPA will reopen the inquest into the death of anti-apartheid activist Steve Biko on Friday, marking 48 years since he died in police custody. Biko, the 30-year-old founder of the Black Consciousness Movement, was arrested in Port Elizabeth in August 1977 and beaten during interrogation. He suffered severe head injuries and was driven more than 1,000 kilometres to Pretoria without medical help. Official records list his cause of death as brain damage leading to kidney failure. A 1977 inquest cleared police of blame, ruling the death inconclusive. But years later, officers admitted assaults during Truth and Reconciliation Commission hearings, though they were denied amnesty for lying and lacking a political motive. No one has faced prosecution to date. Elvis Presslin spoke to Jabu Rakwena, AZAPO Secretary for Legal and Constitutional Affairs

What is the distinction between thoughts and imaginations in the mind, the mind and pure consciousness?11:59 So Baba, the mind is synonymous with the consciousness of existence, of our being conscious of existing?12:29 So that's the purpose of meditation. Meditation is to quiet the mind, shift our awareness from being on the thoughts and imaginations that are in the mind.12:56 So Baba, that has to happen automatically, spontaneously, the turning to its Self, because at that point you can't be thinking.13:29 So you can't really be thinking and be in that state. Is that correct? 14:09 In meditation people can have experiences, you're really not in the Self at that time. You're just caught up in a higher, better imagination?15:17 So the yogi has to have the resolve to silence the mind and not get carried away with the imaginations as they can be more profound and more charming, and more alluring.16:03 What's the distinction between the Consciousness of Existence and the Self, or the mind and the Self?16:58 "Very often, seekers give up worldly life and go to the forest caves and ashrams, and they just end up struggling for another world that they have in their imagination."19:15 Supreme Peace is beyond bliss.20:05 "There is nothing to give up if you don't hold on to anything in the mind." 22:16 "Once you've acquired the awareness-knowledge, there is nothing that you have to absorb, and nothing is there that you have to give up."24:35 What does Babaji mean by 'awareness-knowledge'?25:30 So that awareness-knowledge is when you've managed to quiet the mind of all the extraneous thoughts, but you still have that awareness of your own existence?26:10 So it's that last state, where all thoughts have been withdrawn, except it's conscious of its own existence, and then that merges into the Self.29:00 The meaning of the terms tyaga and tapas.32:39 How is body consciousness different from there mind?34:37 How is karma related to the practice of quietening the mind?

An inquest doesn't typically hear questions about the consummation of a relationship or the validity of a marriage certificate, and it's not usual for there to be so many lawyers in a coroner's court. But when there's a farm, valued at €5.5 million at stake, and the circumstances around the death are somewhat confused, it's perhaps to be expected.The three-day inquest into the death of wealthy farmer Joe Grogan (75) at his home on April 15th, 2023 heard questions that a coroner's court is not there to answer. Its job is to establish cause of death.Grogan had been married the previous day, to his long-time friend and sometime carer Lisa Flaherty. A clear cause of death could not be established because he had been embalmed within hours.His 220-acre farm at Screggan, near Tullamore is well-known having hosted the National Ploughing Championships for two years and is set to do so again this year. As his widow, Flaherty stands to inherit his estate.Members of Grogan's family questioned the validity of the marriage – they said they were unaware it had taken place – and there were heated scenes in the court.Ultimately the coroner Raymond Mahon ruled that the newly-wed farmer probably died of an infection associated with his stage-four cancer, his immune system being compromised because of chemotherapy and significant weight loss. He said the evidence did not support a finding of unlawful killing as had been suggested and he rejected calls by Grogan's extended family to refer the circumstances of the death to the Garda.Irish Times reporter Colm Keena was in court to hear the verdict and explains the background.Presented by Bernice Harrison. Produced by Suzanne Brennan. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Don't allow your mind to wander around. 16:21 Having neither joy nor sorrow doesn't sound that interesting.19:05 As you meditate more you can rid of becoming a ruminator.20:01 Is there any other way to settle into the Self, besides effortlessly?21:10 Baba experiences the reverse of what we experience - it's effortless for us to have mental chatter but Babaji's mental state is to be silent.22:02 If you meditate regularly, the mind is a quieter place.23:41 Accepting the results of our actions doesn't mean we can't try to change them.26:23 "You need to understand the futility of actions, as there's nothing to achieve."29:26 Importance of the zoom calls with Babaji which motivate us and inform us of the possibilities, otherwise it would be really difficult.31:18 So what you're saying is that anything you achieve in this world is impermanent, it is not going to bring you peace, so it's really equivalent to nothing.32:33 "Your very nature is Supreme Peace and the rest is unreal."36:50 Important things we can practice during the day to quiet our mind.38:59 If the mind is into imaginations, then you have to do sadhana to achieve silence of the mind.42:48 "By a thought of the mind, you cannot know your real Self. Only by becoming quiet in the mind can you know your real Self... ...To know the space, you have to become space."45:44 Mind can never give the Truth.46:38 "You can make everything else disappear, but you can't make yourself disappear."48:25 When you start to meditate, after about 40 minutes the mind and body get still, is that the time that the thoughts gets purified?49:44 I always want to cry after a meditation. I find it very frightening when you're all alone.50:47 When memory and time is the material of the mind, can the mind observe without memory and time.51:56 So is supreme peace the ultimate goal of life? Is that what it is?52:45 You mentioned that when your mind is completely quiet, then you dissolve in the consciousness. What's the process?54:26 We don't really get absorbed into the Self, into the pure consciousness? We are the pure consciousness. Just the illusion that I am a separate being is what ends, right?55:36 Situations happening because they were set in motion by desires long ago or is it happening because that is what the universe wants from me at this point?57:41 Is it possible that everyone has already experienced Self RealizatioRegister your free place for the live online meditation and Q&A with Babaji: https://www.shivarudrabalayogi.org/en/online-satsang Website: http://www.srby.orgFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/shivarudrabalayogiTwitter: https://twitter.com/SRBYmissionInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/shivarudrabalayogi/
