Everything Is Pre-Decided - Except This...
This satsang points directly to a core of Advaita teaching: that in the life of the person, everything unfolds exactly as it must. Thoughts, decisions, movements, successes and failures - all of it arises from a momentum already set in motion. The only true choice available is the inner shift of turning toward the Self. Robert explains that this “one choice” is not a decision made by the mind, but a quiet willingness to stop identifying with the doer. When the conviction “I am the body-mind” weakens, life is seen as a spontaneous flow. Nothing is personal, nothing is yours, and nothing needs your control. From there the talk moves into the deeper implications: why free will feels real even though the doer does not exist, why karma belongs to the body-mind and not to you, and why surrender becomes the natural outcome of understanding. When the illusion of control dissolves, peace appears by itself. The invitation is simple: make the one choice that is truly yours - choose to turn inward, to remain still, and to let life take care of the rest. It is a reminder that the sense of personal control is the final illusion - and that freedom begins when we stop trying to organise the universe from the standpoint of the “I.” Chapters 00:00 The world loves a lie 01:14 The collapse of free will and personal doership 03:02 Karma and destiny: why nothing you do is “yours” 05:21 Consciousness as the only reality 09:04 The lie of being a human being 14:55 When the mind goes out vs. turning inward 20:25 The one true choice: turn within The Squirrel knows!

I had an issue with some earlier videos which included material that had been in the two copyrighted books: Silence of the Heart Vols 1 and 2. I removed those early Satsangs. The current videos do not replicate any substantial copyrighted material from the books and certainly don't infringe on any commercial or charitable opportunities. I'm just being very careful and over-compliant to avoid any grounds for malicious takedowns by non-copyright holders. Anyway, You found it... that's what matters 🙏🏻 ------------------- All work on this channel is offered under Fair Use Copyright Disclaimer under section 107 of the Copyright Act of 1976, allowance is made for “fair use” for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, education and research.
