The True Guru, Fulfilling Desires & the Foundation of Service

In this episode, Paramahansa Yogivah Giri shares powerful insights on the necessity of fulfilling one’s desires before true spiritual transformation can occur. Through reflections on his time with authentic Mahatmas, he explains that premature renunciation or suppression of desire leads to confusion—not realization.

“You can’t skip your desires. You have to fulfill them. Only then will you be free of them.”

Yogivah Giri also emphasizes the indispensable role of the enlightened guru, not as a concept or image, but as a living presence that guides through truth, example, and inner transmission:

“You won’t know the authentic spiritual teacher from the fake spiritual teacher unless you experience that person.”

The episode also explores the natural unfolding from fulfilled desire to selfless service, where action becomes offering and life becomes dharma. With clarity and humility, Yogivah Giri invites the listener to examine their true intentions, seek the company of realized beings, and trust the organic journey from want to wisdom.
