The Meaning of Nothing Happens1:23 – 3:49

James BesharaHost

1:23

And this philosophy around this, the concept that I'd love to reflect on with you today.

James BesharaHost

1:29

Nothing happens.

James BesharaHost

1:30

This is something that Swami will say in various lectures.

James BesharaHost

1:34

Nothing happens.

James BesharaHost

1:34

He'll say it when people have some choice to make.

James BesharaHost

1:41

I referenced it in the last episode.

James BesharaHost

1:43

And he'll just say like, oh, make whatever choice you want.

James BesharaHost

1:49

Do I get married? Do I not get married? nothing happens.

James BesharaHost

1:53

Should I do this business, go down this road with this business partner? It might blow up.

James BesharaHost

1:58

It might be, I might lose my money and nothing happens.

James BesharaHost

2:03

Nothing really happens.

James BesharaHost

2:04

Not just from the philosophical perspective of the deepest philosophical point within this philosophy.

James BesharaHost

2:12

You are that.

James BesharaHost

2:13

You are it.

James BesharaHost

2:16

You are that which is.

James BesharaHost

2:18

the deepest philosophical truth within this philosophy that what you are cannot change.

James BesharaHost

2:27

Your natural state is that which is.

James BesharaHost

2:32

It is changeless and eternal.

James BesharaHost

2:36

That's the deep end of the pool.

James BesharaHost

2:38

Shallow end of the pool where it still applies is if you make unwise decisions that destroy worlds.

James BesharaHost

2:54

Does it matter what suit you're wearing while you destroy those worlds? If you have no capacity to see the end and the beginning, if you have no clarity in the decisions you make, does it really matter which partner you work with for a new business venture? Even if you make a billion dollars, does that really change anything around your inner state.

James BesharaHost

3:25

From the upside to the downside, in this external world, if things change, but nothing changes internally, did anything really happen? From the practical realm, again, not from the absolute or the philosophical realm, from the practical realm, our entire realities come down to what we give our attention to.
