52:56 – Q&A Begins

53:13 – Q1 - How was the syllable 'OM' discovered and how did it gain so much importance in all religions?

58:12 - If the state of deep sleep (Shushupti) is such a blissful state and there is no difference between one's own self and the outside world, then why are we not encouraged to be in deep sleep, always?

01:03:02 – A 2-part question :

1) Can you explain the concept of 'Ego'?

2) If the Brahman is the Self, then how do we separate it from the, "I am", that the ego says?

01:10:04 - You were speaking about the 5 senses. My senses are occupied all the time in my day-to-day activities. For eg - my eyes are on the laptop the whole day and that is the reality that I see. But my gut feeling, which I think is my sixth sense, tells me otherwise. How do I make sense of these senses?

01:13:43 - In the state of deep sleep there is no awareness of the outside world or our own selves. How does the awareness come about when we transition from sleep to the dream or waking states?
