Cut All Obsolete Cords and Live Free!
What does it mean to be divorced in the heart? Shunyamurti brings clarity to a common question about disentanglement, the withdrawal of projection in relationships—and the radical acceptance that is required for one to release those projection, settle the karma, and sail blissfully into the unknown unencumbered by the anchor of an other.

Will Relationships Collapse With the Ego?
Question:
I really want to know Shunyamurti’s opinion: do we have to try to recover men and women’s relationship, or is it going to collapse like any other fractal? The loneliness epidemic seems to destroy most humans.
Shunyamurti’s Reply:
Yes, the energy that moves the ego is the desire of the Other. When that is absent for too long, the ego shuts down its limited creativity, and becomes progressively more hardened and cold. This is the end of the era of the ego. That self-limiting structure of willful ignorance and terror of the infinite is already beginning to disappear, along with its nightmarish world. In those who turn away from the lure of the ego and discover the source of consciousness within, the Infinite Self is directly revealed. This explains the classic zen aphorism: First, there is a world of egos. Then, after attaining satori, there is no world, only the Light of Consciousness free of differences. Then, in the final phase of revelation, there is again a world, but now it is the expression of the perfect love, blissful intelligence, and power of freedom of the Inconceivable Absolute Self.
Namaste,
Shunyamurti
The Art of Friendship Is Divine
What does it mean to be a friend of the world? In this Q&A, Shunyamurti explores the archetype of God the Friend—known in Christianity as the Comforter, in Buddhism as the Bodhisattva, and throughout the world's wisdom traditions as the compassionate presence that heals, supports, and uplifts all beings. True friendship is not merely kindness or sympathy but the capacity to embody divine serenity, to speak truth without judgment, and to hold others in a field of love that transforms suffering into peace.
A Father's Task as the Final Days Approach
In this special Father's Day Q&A, Shunyamurti reflects on one of the most sacred responsibilities a father can undertake: preparing children for reality itself. Responding to a father's question about raising children in an age increasingly disconnected from truth, Shunyamurti explores the importance of spiritual education, rites of passage, inner freedom, and the courage to let one's children walk their own path.
How to Drop Guilt and Self-Defeating Narratives
In this satsang Q&A, Shunyamurti explains why life feels increasingly surreal as the subconscious and superconscious bleed into the conscious mind, and how this flood of symbolic information is preparing us for an accelerated shift in the dream field. He explores the mystery of suffering, showing that only the one Self truly experiences it and that intense karma is often a rite of passage into full surrender to God.
As Conditions Get Worse . . .
When the screw of karma tightens, life becomes unbearable—yet this pressure is the force that drives the soul to surrender and awaken. In this Q&A, Shunyamurti reveals how karmic storms strip away inauthentic living, why many are experiencing this now, and how to meet the experience with peace and equanimity. He also explains the shock that can arise when raising your vibrational frequency and how enduring this inner heat without resistance allows the Shakti to burn away karmic seeds, leaving you in the blissful light of the One Self.
Symptoms Are Not So Simple!
Many people have an overly simplistic view of the meaning of symptoms of physical and mental suffering--and of karma in general--and assume that an enlightened sage should not have any illnesses. The facts are very different. Sri Ramana, for example, had asthma, rheumatism, and his body died of cancer. Nisargadatta Maharaj also died of cancer. His guru, Sri Siddharameshwar, had to deal with diabetes. But symptoms are always blessings. They have teleological reasons for appearing and they can trigger secret transfigurations in one's heart and shift the trajectory of one's conscious evolution.
