This film is a wakeup bell that tolls for [br]you to awaken within the dream of life.

0:00:52.859,0:01:00.542
Sadhana, an ancient Sanskrit word, points to[br]the practices that lead to True Awakening.

0:01:00.542,0:01:06.432
But here's the Paradox: There's nothing [br]to do, except become aware of what

0:01:06.432,0:01:10.332
your conditioned mind is already doing.

0:01:10.332,0:01:15.940
The operations of the Mind are [br]realized to be empty of self.

0:01:15.940,0:01:21.450
These operations are sensations, [br]perceptions, reactions, as well as

0:01:21.450,0:01:24.730
the witnessing part of the Mind.

0:01:24.730,0:01:30.160
Sadhana, regardless of the technique [br]or practice, is simply making all of these

0:01:30.160,0:01:36.520
unconscious mind processes conscious.[br]Through single-pointed presence and

0:01:36.520,0:01:44.015
deep surrender to what is, it transcends [br]any single spiritual system or tradition.

0:01:44.015,0:01:49.649
In its pure Essence it invites you [br]to let go of everything you know,

0:01:49.649,0:01:55.591
to enter a don't know mind.[br]Imagine letting go of duality,

0:01:55.591,0:02:02.250
of good and bad, of that evaluating mind, [br]letting go of preferences,

0:02:02.250,0:02:09.740
the very root of the 'I' thought. This is [br]radical, a complete reversal from the

0:02:09.740,0:02:14.777
relentless goal oriented pursuits[br]of modern Life.

0:02:14.777,0:02:22.060
The you that you think you are must fail,[br]surrender, move from the driver's seat

0:02:22.060,0:02:24.780
to the passenger seat.

0:02:24.780,0:02:31.980
What emerges is life itself, the great [br]reality, the kingdom always here,

0:02:31.980,0:02:37.358
yet which has been obscured by the[br]chaotic whirlpool of the mind.

0:02:37.358,0:02:42.738
This truth can't be known or understood[br]by the analytical mind, because

0:02:42.738,0:02:48.688
the analytical mind is the filter,[br]the reducing valve that creates

0:02:48.688,0:02:54.695
the illusion of separation.[br]We may start with practices,

0:02:54.695,0:02:58.445
with techniques that interrupt [br]the pattern of you, clearing

0:02:58.445,0:03:02.445
unconscious patterns or Samskaras.

0:03:02.445,0:03:07.285
But eventually in Sadhana, you even [br]let go of the practices.

0:03:07.285,0:03:12.865
The purpose of Sadhana is to reveal [br]the unconscious processes of the mind,

0:03:12.865,0:03:19.755
But these very practices if misunderstood,[br]can become part of the unconscious mind,

0:03:19.755,0:03:26.385
if the ego becomes attached to them,[br]creating a spiritualized ego.

0:03:32.525,0:03:36.195
Awakening is not something to attain.

0:03:36.195,0:03:41.856
It is a recognizing, an awakening to [br]what you've always been.

0:03:41.856,0:03:48.766
In this space of openness, of stillness,[br]you create the optimal conditions

0:03:48.766,0:03:55.046
for awakening to your true nature.

0:04:02.991,0:04:07.201
Why engage in sadhana? Why awaken?

0:04:07.201,0:04:14.151
We awaken to be free of suffering, to live[br]a life that is unscripted and not robotic.

0:04:14.151,0:04:20.221
To end the dream of the separated self and[br]to come to the kingdom that is here now.

0:04:20.221,0:04:27.101
To find true peace that is not contingent[br]on anything in the Matrix of the Mind.
