Spiritual Teachings With Shunyamurti

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...

A divine process is underway, whether an individual recognizes it or not. All that happens is the will of the Infinite Intelligence that is unfolding the cosmic drama. Evil energies are now in the process of destroying themselves, creating conditions for a renaissance of the highest potencies of God-consciousness to emerge and bring a new world into being. All who love God will soon feel their kundalini rising rapidly toward infini...

Once you have broken through the illusion of egocentric perception and recognized the personal identity as fictional, there is no going back to ignorance. Even though the illusory ego will try to fill you with dread as it disintegrates in the full light of Infinite Consciousness, once the traces of ego identity have all been annihilated, the inconceivable power and scope of the Self will be realized as all there ever was or will be...

The world situation is dire. The US economy is in its death throes. Europe is also coming apart. Store shelves will soon be empty. War is threatened or has already erupted in every region. And the same is happening in the microcosm of nearly every ego. Chaos is accelerating to final destruction. Yet this is a blessing, a merciful quick end to a dying world. The Light of God is becoming more palpable as well, at least to those souls...

Reality is being destabilized at every fractal level of manifestation. It may be most obvious at the geopolitical level. But it is happening at every level, in every institution, every relationship, and every personal psyche. One can make use of this situation by appreciating that it is loosening the grip of identifications and revealing what had been subconscious shadow thoughts and emotions, enabling one to alchemically transform...
