The comedian also talks about Viktor Orbán's peace mission in the interview.
Of course, I see everything else too, I've been paying attention since I was 17 years old. But I watched not only him, but also his predecessors. But in this one case, I have to say that I sided with Orbán 100 percent, as well as in the migrant issue, said András Laár, comedian from the Karinthy ring, about the "pro-peace" message he formulated.
In the midst of his summer activities, we found it difficult to find a time for this conversation, for example because he also led a retreat in Mánfá. How does it go, what exactly happens at such a retreat?
It was a very intense retreat. Five days, four nights. It was built on a special theme, which is nothing but a journey that flows deep into the heart. In Buddhist terminology, it is a found treasure, like a terma. What are thermae? Let's say a monk goes to a secret cave, finds a scroll left behind by a yogi hundreds of years ago, and on the scroll is written an initiation path or an exercise. The path that flows deep in the heart also reached me through this kind of inspiration. Once it appeared, I started singing. It came to me in the form of a song, but in the end it turned out to carry a profound deep teaching and an exercise. We can talk about Kriya Yoga Tantra, this is what I taught people. Of course, it's not that simple to just start walking the spiritual path, burdened with the wrong views with which people usually look at the world.
A materialist will never understand, because materialism is such an obstacle to the freedom of consciousness that it is impossible to make progress in anything, including the spiritual path. A materialistic man can go so far as to exercise his body, how healthy breathing and movement are, but as soon as the action begins in man, then materialism must be dropped. This is the point, because when one realizes that consciousness is primary and not matter, then one can start working with consciousness. Consciousness becomes matter through processes.
Matter is never separated from consciousness, it always remains in the space of consciousness. In addition, it is so impermanent that nothing, not even material things, has a solid, remaining part of itself, so it can be seen that matter is a contingent, temporarily arising formation, whereas consciousness is stable, crystal compact, but at the same time infinitely soft, spacious and unobstructed .
Is it not possible to create a balance between the material and the spiritual world view?
Balance comes from recognizing the primacy of consciousness. We live in a material world, and we long for the stability that material provides. But, if we were to suddenly see the simple fact that everything is, so to speak, made of emptiness, ultimately everything is empty, and the universal consciousness would show us as a joke what it is like when we imagine everything to be empty, then suddenly everyone would be floating in nothingness.
No one wants this experience.
The stability created by consciousness, which we experience as matter, is what everyone who was born into this world wants. No one wants such extreme changes as no sun or water. The state of balance is created with matter so that what is is good for everyone, or when we realize that the orderliness of the material world reflects the orderliness of the conscious world. In Sadhguru's ashram there is such order that there are not even mosquitoes and bugs, but not because they are exterminated, a kilometer away everything is full of mosquitoes. But in that space, because of the power of consciousness, there are no pests.
"God dwells in the heart"
When you use terms such as the power of consciousness, emptiness, many spiritual concepts that are difficult for many to understand, do you not worry that they will be misunderstood or simply not taken seriously? Do you have such fears?
There aren't any at all. I'm not afraid of anything. What the hell should I be afraid of? I don't care who understands and who doesn't. I communicate what I have to say in the simplest way possible, using concepts without pretentiousness, in accordance with my clear thinking. If someone does not understand the concept of emptiness, I will gladly explain how to understand it.
For the sake of simplicity, we use freedom rather than emptiness, which means that things do not have their own inherent determination, but instead become the way we treat them as they are. That's the way the world is, things don't last even a second, because they pass away every second, even in a fraction of a second. It's now, putty, and it's gone. Permanent currents are without exception subtle. I'm not afraid, a lot of people understand what I'm talking about. Even the greatest guru can say anything, but a person filters it, grinds it in the mill of his heart and kneads bread from it, which can also be called a lesson.
The Good Lord dwells in the heart, where the bread of truth gathers. This is the key to enlightenment, no one can actually make decisions against their own heart because they will regret it.
I am one of those who believe that enlightenment, the other side, which means desirelessness, is within reach.
