This may be the last moment of calm to complete the rite of passage beyond the ego and its illusions and realize the deathless Self—before the storm of global conflict reaches its climactic phase. You may need to change your paradigm of reality to see our situation clearly in the context of total consciousness—to be able to do what is necessary to be free of a limiting identity.

Wake Up from the Nightmare of Existence

Wake Up from the Nightmare of Existence

In this opening teaching from our annual Rainy Season Retreat, Shunyamurti presents the radical path to liberation described by Ramana Maharshi, Huang Po, and other great sages across spiritual traditions: the dissolution of the ego and the transcendence of thought itself. The separate self is a structure of concepts, beliefs, desires, and fears that obscures the infinite consciousness already present. Through love of God, surrender, and profound inner stillness, the mind becomes empty of its habitual chatter, and the heart opens to the fullness of divine bliss. The goal is not to accumulate more spiritual knowledge or become enlightened but to let go of the one who seeks awakening. What remains is pure presence, Sat Chit Ananda, and the spontaneous expression of divine beauty and truth in every aspect of life.

Get Ready to Serve the Lord!

Get Ready to Serve the Lord!

In this powerful and timely transmission, Shunyamurti calls on Sat Yogis to prepare for uncertain times through ceaseless self-inquiry and inner stillness. By transcending ego and body identification, we can abide in the freedom of the Real Self and radiate peace into the collective consciousness. We must be free of any trace of ego-consciousness so that we can fulfill our God-given functions during these final days.
