What do I mean by the word vedanta vignana. Withering of the will and ability to do everyday action without bringing your will for supporting, justifying, analyzing, adding, commenting; these are the activities your will goes on doing and destroys the whole juice of your life. And the modern day youngsters are again and again and again brainwashed about the need or importance of the will.

01:13

Again if you are intensely creative without even asking the question “why should you be creative” the will withers away. Will can wither away in so many ways. Some of the beautiful Zen cones and stories of this withering away of the will - A monk was sitting under a tree and meditating, he saw due to breeze a leaf falling from the tree. He was just floating with that falling leaf. The leaf did a zigzaw moved, moved, moved; slowly landed on the ground and the monk became enlightened. How will you logically describe?

03:22

He was in such a extreme restful awareness. That movement has beautifully moved his inner space, rested in withering away of the will. Modern day youngsters are again and again and again brainwashed about the importance of will for the everyday action; which is not required. I tell you, put yourself in a highly challenging situation where your will cannot solve the issues, where your will is let to boil. That is also a powerful process to make the will wither away. Because in the modern day youngsters don’t have patience to sit for 40 years forget about 40 years, 40 minutes itself is important.

04:58

So for you the other way is just put yourself in situations which cannot be solved by the will. Will, will wither away.
