How to Live (and Die) as a Yogi – Satsang with Swami Nirmalananda
In a podcast interview by Jonathan Mahoney, Swami Nirmalananda Giri (Abbot George Burke) answers the question: How should a yogi die to get a boost in the afterlife? In short, the answer is, that to die as a yogi, one must live as yogi. Swamiji then outlines how we should then live as yogis, and what to avoid.

    I had book on this idea years ago "?ln Search of Hostoric Jesus?" I let my best friend's Jesus freak mother borrow and she returned it all marked up - which was okay because it was fun to know what she thought was important. I don't know if Jesus went to India, but st. Thomas did. Jesus did go to England with St. JOEPH OF ARIMETHIA.

    All Paths lead home.😉🌀🕊️🤗 As long as we believe that everyone that we see is OUTSIDE of ourselves, including the people WE JUDGE and do not know personally and have never met😉, we will ALWAYS be divisive, fearful, deluded and confused, and find joy in the pain and suffering of falsely perceived others. Let us embrace the truth that there are no others.💐💜🕊️ We don't understand what we truly ARE, this is why we revel in the divisiveness that is pervasive throughout humanity, other perceived realms, and the multitude of illusory constructs of the Divine Mind.🤗 This also includes ALL media platforms, our own households, and personal thoughts. 💜 We will always be divided and gravitate toward divisive constructs, until we graciously allow ourselves to accept and surrender to what we TRULY ARE.🌀💐💜 When we falsely perceive division within ourselves, we perceive this temporary illusory realm through our own Vasanas, imprints, and subconscious programming, which is simply the illusory fractionalized APPEARANCE, a subtle whiff of the Divine Fragrance of ALL THAT IS.🤗💐🕊️🌈🌀♾️ It is difficult for many to comprehend when we say we channel supernatural beings or we deliver messages through the cards, tea leaves and bones, because people use the mental construct of the mind that personifies the Divine, that is WITHOUT physical attributes, personification, gender, form, description, or name.😉🌀🕊️ We ARE the world and the world is US, literally and figuratively, yet what we believe we perceive, truly does not exist. 🤗 When we accept that everything we falsely perceive including all of our experiences, physicality, emotions, judgments and perceived separations and divisions, are simply spiritual bread crumbs we create for ourselves for the Divine remembrance, acceptance, of the attribute~less genderless Self, the world becomes magical. 🤗✨😉🕊️ Every person we believe we perceive, including ourselves, Angels, devils, goddesses, destroyers, interdimensional beings, ghosts, prophets, sages, ALL perceived experiences, every number we resonate with, tarot or Oracle card, beautiful flower, fallen fruit, pet, all animals of the sea, land, and sky, stars, planets, rainbows, that lucky clover, our family and friends, coworkers, the beggar on the street, an insect to the smallest grain of sand, even the air that we breathe is TRULY US! Isn't that AMAZING!!!✨🤗🌀 That person that we believe is outside of ourselves is US, for we ARE the World.✨ We will individually and collectively resonate with whatever "bread crumbs" we created until we "unite" the falsely perceived human identity with the Unified Truth of All That Is, which is already Present, Aware, and at Peace.🌀There is no self-realization or a path to realization. There are no levels of attainment.🌀 No one is more spiritually evolved than the other. Any perceived levels of spiritual mastery are purely antics of the ego.😉🤗🌀 We are already PERFECTION. We are the path, yet there is no path.🤗🌀✨ Our TRUE self is without any physical attributes, personification, gender, form, description, name, judgment or division.🤗 We are BEYOND Awareness, unbound and Unlimited, and completely inconceivable with the mind.🌀 Most importantly, We are our OWN GURU and we do not have to pay anyone to be "enlightened" because we are already THAT.😉 Since I was a little girl, or shall we say this body was perceived to be a little girl🤗, I've seen UFO's, had unexplainable supernatural experiences, and have been channeling prophets and sages from every cycle of humanity since I was a CHILD, including Goddess Durga, Kali, Egyptian deities, Sri Anandamayi Ma, Mahavatar Babaji, Ramana Maharshi, and Annamalai Swami, the list goes on. As well as ancestors, friends that have transitioned, and other people's family members. I've literally taken pictures and videos for over a decade just to provide proof because there is so much activity constantly around me.🤗 I never understood WHY until I ACCEPTED and surrendered to The Divine Grace of ALL THAT IS.🌀🌈♾️🕊️✨ Messengers and messages come in all forms because everything that we perceive is US.✨ And we will judge everything that we perceive, including our own thoughts, our bodies, and everything we falsely perceive as outside of us according to the filter of our conditioning, programming, Vasanas, and imprints. In addition to the various energetic INFLUENCES that move through us every single day, which affect how we feel, that most are completely unaware of.😉 This is why we have to be gentle, patient, and compassionate with ourselves and other people because we do not understand what this world truly is, because we don't understand and ACCEPT who we Truly ARE.🕊️ How can we understand this world if we don't know who we truly are?✨ How can we forgive this world and forgive others if we can't forgive ourselves?✨ How can we love this world if we don't love ourselves?✨ We can't throw the baby out with the bathwater.✨ Just because someone calls themselves a prophet or a sage, and says they channel Divine Beings or entities, does not mean that they are operating from the attribute~less Self "consciously", this just means that they have IDENTIFIED with the illusory FALSE ego self, that perpetuates the illusory construct that creates the APPEARANCE of a physicalized expression of the Divine.😉🤗🕊️ And that's okay, many fall into the trap of the ego, it is Insidious and that is it's Nature. Insidious is more akin to quantum entanglement, not as something evil.🕊️🤗💜 What we call the ego is simply an illusory construct we create, that is required to perceive this false existence. We must stay fixed on the Self, as Ramana Maharshi says, for that is the only thing that is REAL and not temporary. We were not born with a spirit of fear for we were never born. ✨🌀🕊️💜🤗💐♾️

    If Jesus had come to India and learnt from Indian Gurus, he would have also talked about 33 crore gods at some point or the other, or would have said to satisfy the hunger of cows etc. But Jesus talked about only one God, this is nonsense.

      Do the Yoga Sutras talk about these things? No. Do the Upanishads and Gita? Actually, yes, they talk about the many gods being only the faces of Brahman, the One-Without-a-Second. I suggest you learn more about your (our) dharma.
