0:28 We think of our existence as the body - is this our real existence or is it something else?
3:38 Is existence always in duality, or does it not need a second thing to exist?
5:09 Are existence and awareness the same?
5:34 Is awareness permanent but existence not permanent?
6:56 What is the source of existence?
7:51 Is this awareness which gives the sense of existence the same as the consciousness of existence?
10:20 Where has this mind come from and what is its existence?
13:16 Is this feeling of existence the source of my entity?
15:03 What is this awareness and how can I become aware of it?
17:52 Is my consciousness and your consciousness two different things or is it one single mass?
19:18 Is it because we thing our appearance in this world as our existence that prevents awareness of our permanent existence?
22:08 Even if I go to Mars or the Moon, if my mind is not under my control, I will always be unhappy?
24:15 Are human beings the most vulnerable beings because we are always dancing to the emotions of the mind ?
28:37 Every time we make a judgement are we going away from our existence?
31:06 Having value for every life at the same time as awareness of the permanent existence.
35:46 Purification of the mind allows consideration of people around you.
39:30 My existence as an individual brings lot of desires - how to overcome this drama of my own emotions?
42:54 As it is described in the Yoga Vasistha, how time and space are in the illusion.
46:55 Are time and space the same or two different things?
48:52 Is existence beyond time and space?
50:05 If there is no birth or death, where is there a place for rebirth, and why would the soul want to play the game of birth and death?
52:58 If all consciousness is the same, why do we have to be physically here?
54:52 Why does the mind create all these emotions and how to transcend all the emotions?
58:25 How has the pure consciousness become 8 billion minds?
1:00:40 What is maya and how is it different than visions and dreams?
1:05:23 What does Yoga Vasistha mean by 'no mind'?
1:06:15 In the context of existence is everything pre-determined?
1:09:40 Is karma in the brain and the body or in the mind?
1:10:18 Does Swamiji come in bhava samadhi?
1:11:54 A fear and body movement when sitting for longer meditations.
1:12:58 How long does it take to realise the Self?
1:14:26 Is consciousness and the Self the same?
1:14:55 Should we continue to follow a previous Guru? Is it ok to follow more than one Guru?
1:15:54 Headache when practicing meditation.
1:16:52 How to progress in spiritual path when experiencing obstacles in life.
1:17:42 Does our consciousness still experience individuality when it merges with the Self?
1:19:53 If we have dreams, does that mean our minds are not pure?
1:21:15 A strong identification of the body outside meditation.
1:22:17 A pressure felt in between eyebrows during meditation and outside meditation - is that normal?
