Spiritual Teachings With Shunyamurti

The human ego in its current models is a fragmented and internally conflicted operating system. This condition creates affective and cognitive deadlocks, repetitive self-sabotage, delusional projections, and stunted capacity to function as a responsible adult. Spiritual practice must focus on the integration and resolution of contradictory attitudes and drives. Once accomplished, your consciousness can expand to higher levels of in...

According to the Jewish tradition, we are in the High Holy Days. According to the news, we are in the lowest unholy days. Both are true. As global tensions escalate, this paradox points directly to the teaching of the Bhagavad Gita: The war to be concerned with is the inner battle between your ego and your soul. The Gita has inspired much of modern Western philosophy—from Schopenhauer and Hegel to Nietzsche and beyond—yet none of t...

After exploring the deep insights in the teaching of the Ashtavakra Gita regarding the way to shift from ego-mind to the infinite intelligence of the Self, Shunyamurti adds another level of subtlety to the method. He explains how the energy of our fundamental nature is converted into information that appears as a holographic continuum of experience. When that information is converted back into the light of pure consciousness, the t...

In this special Q&A compilation, Shunyamurti responds to seekers’ heartfelt questions on guilt, shame, dreams, AI, Self-realization, and the paradox of suffering and joy. Each answer reveals how the ego sustains bondage through self-judgment, attachment, and fear, while pointing us back to the freedom of our divine nature. We are sharing this teaching in the lead-up to our online retreat, Live Free of Anxiety (September 5-7, 20...

In this teaching, Shunyamurti reveals the hidden structure of consciousness that unfolds in nanoseconds between every two thoughts. He maps seven micro moments—from the instant of naked presence to the reinstallation of ego identity—showing how awareness of these stages gives you the power to shift your trajectory in real time. In the “between,” where thought has not yet fixed who you are or how you see the world, lies your greates...

In this urgent satsang, Shunyamurti shares that he received the message that we are at the moment depicted in the Bhagavad Gita, when Arjuna understands and accepts that he must fight the battle he dreads, knowing it will destroy civilization. Reflecting on the aftermath of the failed Putin–Trump summit in Alaska, in the context of the imminent collapse of Western hegemony, and the fractal nature of reality—meaning that all of us f...

As Putin and Trump meet in a tense moment of global brinkmanship, Shunyamurti offers a teaching on how to remain unshaken in the face of uncertainty. Drawing from the Ashtavakra Samhita, he explains how to free yourself from anxiety, transcend identification with body and ego, and abide in the constant presence of pure awareness. In a collapsing world, this is the timeless path to inner freedom — beyond fear, beyond reaction, and b...

We are living near the end of this age, and our responsibility is to prepare our souls to create a more beautiful, peaceful, awakened culture in the age to come. This requires us to attune to our true essential nature as pure spirit, and to let go of all tendencies of self-deception. This comes down to letting go of the false self entirely. We must open our hearts and minds to our infinite and eternal consciousness. This is the aim...

The reading of chapter two of the Ashtavakra Samhita is the basis of this teaching on the joy of Self-Realization. Sustained joy is not possible for the ego, since it projects its own shadow on the world and suffers as a result. But, when it is understood that one is Pure Consciousness—that all is the One Infinite Intelligence and that the world is only a reflection of the Self at play—then divine beauty is directly perceived, unco...

What is Sat Yoga, truly? In this electrifying teaching, Shunyamurti returns us to the original foundation of all true yogic paths: the complete and instantaneous renunciation of the ego through the love of the infinite Self. This is not a path of gradualism or compromise. It is a radical return to the Real, beyond all illusion, trauma, fear, or thought. True liberation comes not with time, but with unwavering determination, tapas, ...

It is easy to understand why the ego mind has no freedom. Neither does it have originality or courage, nor even the ability to love, in the real sense of that word. The secret to leading a fulfilling life is simple: your soul must awaken and extract itself from the limitations of the ego straitjacket. Once free, the soul can easily transform its personal identity to accurately reflect its divine nature of limitless potency. This is...

There comes a moment in the life of every sincere seeker of ultimate Truth when the veil of illusion finally falls away. But it requires a lot of preparation. One needs uncommon sense to reason through the barrier of the unreal, and a willingness to dialectically negate one's own desire for the Real when that becomes the new barrier. Then, even that negation must be negated by the immolation of the last trace of a tendency of the m...

The war in west Asia is a reflection of the war in consciousness that is being played out in every fractal of the whole of the cosmic manifestation. It is the same war that is commemorated in the Bhagavad Gita. The secret instruction to gain victory for the soul over the demonic ego is most clearly delivered in an ancient text called the Ashtavakra Samhita. There are eight major curves on the road to divine liberation. We must stee...
