Silencing the Mind | In Quest of Truth - Babaji Q&A, No. 241
Recorded on 9 August 2025 with worldwide participants

0:00 Intro
0:06 The mind is continually jumping from one thought to another - how has it become like this?
5:25 "The desire for experience arises as a thought in consciousness and by the repetition of this thought it gains strength."
7:57 When we think it is a problem it becomes a problem.
8:35 If we can silence the mind whenever we wish to, then we can be free of any problems in the mind.
13:25 The watching process of meditation.
27:17 Atman and Anatman
32:14 Silence is the source from which everything arises - mind, world and ego are all one, when we wake up all three arise and when we sleep all three dissolve?
36:34 In daily life is it possible to have a silent mind?
40:28 Take a decision for the sake of taking a decision, then work.  Once you have worked, then keep quiet.  What has to happen will happen, that is all.
44:19 Should peace be dearer to you than things of the world.
47:15 Is the mind dual or multidimensional - it watches, thinks, analyses and creates.
48:24 We have to use the mind against the mind?
50:51 How to know what is a right or wrong decision.
53:11 What is the technology in watching where slowly the observer and the object starts splitting?
55:20 In the world where the brain is functioning, can we apply this 'watching'?
56:20 To Babaji, what is more important, the love for Swamiji or the silence of the mind?
57:07 What do I do to silence the negative wave of thoughts when waking up in the morning?
58:40 The scriptures say the mind is active in all the three states, waking state, dream state and deep sleep - is the mind when there are thoughts and is the ego there because of the thoughts?
1:02:29 What is the relationship between the brain and the mind when the brain is not functioning - what happens to the Self?
1:03:26 Does Jangama Dhyana restrain the life force or just silence the mind?
