My comment about the audio being better ...Hi Edji,<br /><br />My comment about the audio being better than Video has to do more with how the satsang works when you are doing a web base satsang.<br />the video just makes the time much shorter but with just audio everything runs much smoother.<br />At least this is what I meant by being distracting.<br />You will need to wait and see.<br />Who knows you may be the very first one to make it all gel well<br />As far as meditating I have no need for it anymore.<br /><br />peaceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27560333.post-79101361161816415582010-10-30T14:18:56.932-07:002010-10-30T14:18:56.932-07:00I have to laugh.

Every other day someone says I should do things differently: not wear tie dye shirts because they are distracting; not allow distant voices or dogs barking in the background, because that is distracting; not to have a video satsang, but have only audio because the video is distracting.<br /><br />If some of you find these tiny-weeny things distracting, how do you ever expect to meditate deeply? Why are others not distracted?<br /><br />The distractions are in your mind and need to be ignored, just as you have to ignore thoughts, body aches when meditating, and even consciousness itself.Ed Muzikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13214241089861837159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27560333.post-71550760328682597652010-10-30T00:02:45.900-07:002010-10-30T00:02:45.900-07:00>>> Strange.

It is distracting to have a satsang when you can actually see people as opposed to just hearing them? <<<<br /><br />Are you trying to suggest that audio is better than visual? <br /><br />I do not think so. In a Satsang many times we have Q and A series and at that time it is very important to actually see the questioner. The facial expression, the intensity, the devotion, the thirst etc etc are all important cues and are reflected in a visual and not in an audio.<br />Many times the questioner is more important than the question itself.<br />There is no such thing as a right answer. The questioner gets an answer he is ready for. It is a pointer that particular sadhaka most needs it. <br />The answers are not given by the Guru but they are given by the questioner itself. The Guru simply reflects it and visual/facial cues comes very much handy in that.<br /><br /><br />Pranams,<br />RajivRajiv Kapurnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27560333.post-52857069994297189762010-10-29T18:18:36.121-07:002010-10-29T18:18:36.121-07:00exactly think they have no real experience with t...exactly think they have no real experience with this.
