Travel Tips for the Journey to God

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.

In this Q&A, Shunyamurti explores the illusion of individual existence, the meaning of the soul, and the difference between the apparent “old soul” and “young soul.”

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.

How can you sustain divine love, inner peace, and fearlessness when the world around you is falling apart? In this retreat invitation, Shunyamurti introduces "How to Sustain a Divine Life," a retreat devoted to gathering the spiritual strength required to face uncertainty, loss, and the collapse of everything we depend upon. Physical preparation alone cannot meet the coming challenges; the essential question is whether we can maintain equanimity, love, and clarity under even the most difficult conditions.

In this teaching, Shunyamurti describes a new phase of Sat Yoga: moving beyond concepts and intellectual understanding to the direct realization of God. The goal is not merely to understand the Self, but to surrender the ego completely and live in continuous remembrance of the divine presence. The practice must be ceaseless.

What does it mean to truly give yourself to God? In this powerful teaching, Shunyamurti explores the radical shift from a profane to a sacred way of living, where the ego’s desires, judgments, and false sense of agency give way to love, surrender, and divine intelligence.
