David, Ben Yosef, Har-Zion, who writes under the pen name Prabhuji, is an avadhūta mystic. In 2011, he chose to retire from society and lead a silent and contemplative life as a hermit. He spends his days in solitude, writing, painting, praying, and meditating. Prabhuji does not accept the role of a religious authority figure that people have been trying for years to attribute to him. Although many consider him to be an enlightened being, he does not claim to be a preacher, guide, coach, content creator, influencer, preceptor, mentor, counselor, consultant, monitor, tutor, teacher, instructor, educator, enlightener, pedagogue, evangelist, rabbi, posek halacha, healer, therapist, satsangist, psychic, leader, medium, savior, or guru. He has retired from all public activity and does not offer sat-saṅgs, lectures, gatherings, retreats, seminars, meetings, study groups, or courses.
This podcast is not administered by Prabhuji himself but by a few of his disciples and friends, with the purpose of preserving his message of wisdom. Don't feel obligated to subscribe to the channel, comment, or “like” this video.
Prabhuji talks about the method of teaching of Socrates, the dialectica, and how it relates to the master-disciple relationship. "...Because Socrates understood that the main enemy of wisdom is to think that you know...."
Prabhuji answers the question: "Prabhuji, I find it very difficult to recognize consciousness, and I often feel frustrated and even depressed because I feel that my efforts are in vain. Could you please give me some advice?"
Prabhuji answers the question: "For many years now I have been searching for the self. But although sometimes it seems to me that I have realized it, then it escapes. And I remain the same. The search makes me a nervous and even frustrated seeker. I don't feel that the search for the self brings me happiness. What advice could you give me?"
Prabhuji answers the question: "I am not a person of faith. I would like you to give me a definition or a logic concept of what is God."
“…Self inquiry is about a question, who am I - as Ramana Maharishi presented the question… but any answer will be wrong… people who walk that path of zen will say this is a kind of koan question, like what is the sound of one hand clapping?… "
"The identification with a form or a body, leads us to what is called the corporal concept of life… we identify ourselves with the body, with a specific form… however, I am not another preacher who say we are not the body, but spiritual souls... we are the body, but not ONLY the body...."
Prabhuji talks about the importance of Hatha Yoga in spiritual life, how he learned personally from big masters like His Holiness Sri Swami Vishnu Devananda, disciple of His Holiness Sri Swami Sivananda, Bapoji, disciple of His Holiness Sri Mastaram Babaji, Madhana Mohan and many others.
