  • Embracing Our Limited Lifespan: Finding Consciousness Beyond the Body
    Mar 14 2025

    Send us a text

    Death is not morbid but a doorway to understanding our true nature beyond the body and mind. Contemplating our mortality helps us appreciate the beauty in everyday experiences while recognizing the boundless consciousness that transcends physical limitations.

    • Consciousness is not bound to our body and mind but extends everywhere without limitation
    • Contemplating death helps us escape the pattern of identifying solely with our physical form
    • Understanding our finite existence enhances our appreciation for life's everyday wonders
    • Death is merely the end of limitation, not the end of consciousness
    • True awakening involves embracing death rather than fearing it
    • Liberation while alive (Jivan Mukti) comes from recognizing that consciousness continues beyond physical death
    • Spiritual realization requires personal effort yet paradoxically feels like grace when experienced
    • The test of spirituality is being comfortable with mortality

  • Vedanta Sara: Verses 7 - 12
    Mar 13 2025

    Send us a text

    We explore Vedanta Saras starting from verse 7, examining various types of actions and their purposes while emphasizing that true spiritual knowledge transcends ritualistic practices.

    • Different categories of actions: desire-driven (karmia), prohibited (nishida), daily (nitya), occasional (nemitaka), and penances (prayashitta)
    • Rituals can purify the mind but have limitations in leading to liberation
    • Blind faith and following traditions without understanding their purpose has little spiritual value
    • True worship (upasana) involves contemplating reality with attributes and cultivating gratitude
    • Spiritual practices should bring joy rather than being performed out of obligation
    • Self-reflection on our practices helps determine if they're aligned with our spiritual goals
    • The importance of putting your full heart and spirit into whatever spiritual practice you choose

  • Your Inner Guru: Finding Truth Beyond Fallible Teachers
    Mar 12 2025

    Send us a text

    The spiritual path requires discernment when allegations arise against gurus, as blind faith contradicts the principles of Advaita Vedanta which emphasizes self-inquiry and ethical conduct from spiritual teachers.

    • Distinguishing between teachings and teachers when misconduct allegations surface
    • Using vivek (discernment) rather than blind devotion when evaluating guru behavior
    • Understanding that dharma and accountability apply to everyone, including spiritual leaders
    • Recognizing that the Guru Tattva (principle) transcends any individual teacher
    • Protecting the vulnerable takes precedence over preserving a guru's reputation
    • Examining what scriptures say about teacher requirements (Shrotriya and Brahmanishta)
    • Acknowledging that a guru's actions and embodiment matter as much as their words
    • Trusting your inner guidance when something feels wrong with a teacher's conduct
    • Following the highest authority—your own Self—rather than potentially flawed individuals

    If a spiritual teacher has helped you but faces allegations of misconduct, you can appreciate their teachings while still holding them accountable. Remember that your true guru is within, and no enlightened path requires blind obedience or excusing harmful behavior.
