Why Chasing Pleasure is The Root of Pain | Nisargadatta Maharaj (I Am That)

Описание: Have you ever wondered why the past feels like a dream and the future feels like a fantasy, but right now feels undeniable? In this video, we explore Chapter 3 of "I Am That" by Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj, titled "The Living Present."

We often think our suffering comes from the outside world. But Maharaj reveals a startling truth: our pain comes from the mind's refusal to flow with the river of life. We cling to pleasure and fight against pain, creating a trap that keeps us exhausted and unhappy.

In this video, you will discover:

Why "happiness" is often just a break between two pains.

The "River of Life" metaphor: How to stop struggling and start living.

The Secret of Time: Why YOU are the battery that powers reality.

A Practical Exercise: The "Stamp of Reality" technique to stop overthinking and return to the Now immediately.

🧘 Who is this for?
This video is for spiritual seekers, philosophy enthusiasts, and anyone feeling stuck in anxiety, overthinking, or the endless chase for the "next big thing." If you enjoy the teachings of Eckhart Tolle, Alan Watts, or Ramana Maharshi, this deep dive into Non-duality (Advaita Vedanta) is for you.
