Mastering Abstract Thought for Enlightenment : Unveiling the Art of Metaphors, Paradoxes, and More

Transcript (Auto translated can have spelling mistakes)

namaste in at this particular video I will love to talk about thoughts when we are thinking in at the line of Enlightenment uh it is important to organize the thought process which we are going through this is the path of Raja yoga so it is very important to analyze and organize the thought in a certain way in order to understand the eternity which is living inside us to to understand the word meaning like to understand what is it meant by eternity it is important to go through the openet in it first place itself so that we will understand or we will get a teste of what it is meant to be Eternal in upat we look into it says yet chak what does it mean the word meaning of chak is ice Yaki meaning we were not able to see it through eyes we can't see it with our eyes but it is watching through our [Music] eyes imagine you are in a deserted place and there is a house and it has a window and from the window you can see the deserted land outside which is very vast and very deep and so deserted there is nobody but in at this scenario you will never say the windows are watching the outside world rather you are watching through Windows this is very important to understand meaning we can see it we can't see it through eyes but it is seeing through eyes that is what we called Brahman or absolute that is what it is called absolute with not this with whatever we are worshiping here is not Brahman to understand to experience that sort of Truth or that sort of BL or that kind of Eternal eternity it is very important to format our thought we can I can explain it through one uh EX sample like we are thinking okay so when we are thinking what we are thinking about we are thinking about the thought itself we are not thinking about the reality to understand this fact much more deeper way I'll tell you like you are making sense that this is my father or this is my mother and this is my friends or this is my Clan so this understanding comes into your mind now it's become a thought when you are thinking about something you are not thinking about the reality itself but the second thought which comes into your mind about the clan or the parents or the money whatever in your mind the second thought is actually about the thought itself is not about the reality so in order to see the real or the truth or the absolute or to experience the reality we it is very important to format or it is very important to change the way we think to get out from the thought we have to learn to unlearn that J Krishna MTI says we have to learn to unlearn this is the important thing so to get into to format this kind of thought uh to understand this kind of thought or to get this kind of thought there is the the the way we visualize the way we understand has to be in a certain format now how do we get into that certain format it is important to think in abstract way to see the real as real when I am talking about abstract thought it is very essential to know what is an abstract thought like for example I'm speaking and this speech comes from the combination of the words and the words are comes from the combination of the letters so here the abstract is the letters and from the combination of the letters things is been produced in the visual world s similar way when we talk about the computer science whatever we comes whatever we see for example the mobile phone sitting in at the palm of my hand or the sitting in at the palm of your hand is actually combination of the abstracts called ones and zero whatever it is producing whatever you are visualizing in the screen it's a uh capacitors or resistors or whatever all these capacitors which is stored the data all those things is the combinations of on and zero so here the abstract is 1 and zero and in mathematics the numbers are the abstract so the abstract we can't neglect the existence of the abstract we can go into the mathematics to uh put this thought in a profound way and sense nobody can't say numbers are unreal like the formulas which is form formulated from the numbers can be untrue we can neglect the existence of the mathematical formula and we can prove or we can disprove the existence of the mathematical formulas which is being formed from the numbers but nobody can say the number one or number two is not existing and we can't even prove or disprove we can't even disprove the existence of the numbers there is no way to do that so this is called something abstract so thinking in very abst ract and subjective way is very essential to experience the Brahman when you experience Brahman you get into the state of called Enlightenment and if you if you want something like that you have to think very much in abstract way and if you think in very much in abstract way it is very useful in your work and your life and everything so thinking about abstract there are some words which we need to be too familiar with in order to come into the abstract thought so those are the words which I'm actually uh talking in at this particular video so I have listed down some words in my computer there is some turn Words which I have listed uh with its meaning and uh a situation where it where you can understand that particular word in much more deeper way the first first word in my list is metaphor meaning a metaphor is a figure of speech in which a word or parts is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable subjecting a resemblance of [Applause] analogy so it's a it's a kind of simile we will say this is something like this this for example for example uh sun is looks like a um a ball or Earth is similar to a ball or Earth is similar to a globe so here it is this this words is been uh chosen as a format of simil here it is just as it is he's Brave asan like you know if you say it is in this way this is a metaphor so there is a situation why did the metaphor break up with the simile it felt their relationship was an empty as blank canvas lacking the colorful Strokes of true connection exactly metaphor can't be in a relationship with simil even though they are very similar so this is something called metaphor this is something which we really need to understand now the second word in at my list is paradox meaning a paradox is a statement or proposition that despite seeming self-contradictory or absorbed may actually be well founded or true the sitation can explain it much more better I asked my friend if he believe in the concept of paradox he said of course I do not of course I do not well that's a paradox right there again I asked my friend if he believes in the concept of paradox he said of course I do not there is a metaphor the first place this is this is kind of kind of ambiguity which is arising but we can make sense out of what it is actually meant to like of course I do not but of course I do not this this this expressing he believes but he says the other way around this is called a paradox ambiguity now we just said what is an ambiguity um so when we get into the word meaning of ambiguity which goes in this way meaning ambiguity refers to the quality of being open to more than one interpretation or having a double meaning often creating uncertainty or confusion abstract has this particular quality it can create ambiguity like for example an abstract painting that can create ambiguity that can be ambiguous but it represent only one thing so this is called an ambiguity there is a situation I told my boss I can work with ambiguity he said great you are in charge of our company strategy I still don't know if that's a compliment or a challenge this is called exactly ambiguity the next word in my list is synthesis meaning synthesis is the combination of ideas or elements to form a coherent wall in various context it refer to the process of combining different components into a unified and interconnected system so there is is a situation why did the chemist finally decided to embar synthesis because mixing elements of work life and a pinch of humor resulted in a compound of success chemist can do that next word is Divergence meaning Divergence is the process of moving or extending in different direction from a common Point often indicating a deviation or spreading apart my the situation goes in this way my path in life is like a Choose Your Own Adventure book it keeps diverging and I am just hoping one of this plot twist leads to happy ending we can just hope but anyway it is a kind of Divergence so more Divergence you do in your life there will be more opening so Epiphany the next word in my list is epiphany meaning an epip is a sudden profound realization or Discovery often resulting in a new understanding or perspective that was not apparent before the situation goes in this way I had a moment of epiphany last night I realized I been pronouncing epitom wrong my entire life it was like an epiphany with an epiphany an epiphany with an epiphany this is the situation goes in this way the next word in my list is abstraction we have given enough uh examples for the word abstraction but when we look into what does this particular word is meant to abstraction meaning abstraction involves the conceptualization of ideas or concepts separate from specific instances or concept realizes it involves focusing on the essential qual rather than the specific details an abstraction can have multiple meaning in multiple situation according to the time and space the situation goes in this way I told my friend a joke about abstract art they didn't laugh I told them it was so sophisticated only the intellectuals would get it they still didn't laugh so this is a joke the next word in my list is intuition I have spoken a lot about intuition this is this is more or less an experiential reality if we look into the intuition that that will come into an experiential reality actually so when we when we can see the world as a real world real uh our action our thought process will be very intuitive that could be um result uh uh that can result a kind of Chaos in the in the in the world which we are living into but however if we really really very intuitive it is actually very very beneficial meaning indusion is the ability to understand or know something instinctively without the need for conscious reasoning it often involves a Qui and direct Insight my intution told me not to trust TS because they are always up to something now I take the elevator and my intuition is on a whole new level the next word in my list is C meaning cognition refers to the mental process and activities related to acquiring storing processing and using information it encompasses various aspects of thought including perception memory reasoning and problem solving the situation goes in this way my dog's cognition is impressive heits stays and understand complex commands but ask him where his tennis ball is and suddenly it is like he solving a quantum physics problem perspective this is something which we come into very uh very greatly into the discussion uh and it is very essential to change your perspective in order to think in the way which the Raja yoga thoughts um very intuitively and very abstrac and very subjectively and very reason to think in this way changing the perspective or viewing things in different perspectives are very essential meaning perspectives is the way in which something is viewed or considered often shaped by personal experience attitudes and belief it involves the mental framework through which individuals interpret and make sense of the world around them my wife and I have different perspective on housework she sees is is a never ending task while I see it is an excellent opportunity to procrastinate and Ponder the meaning of life I think these are the important words uh which comes uh when we go much more deep into abstract thought and if when we start to train our thought process uh in more abstractive and subjective way it's essential to understand at least the meaning of these uh five 10 words uh in order to go really really really better into abstract thoughts thank you for watching
