The world has gone mad. Every kind of war is breaking out, at every level of social organization and individual ego structure. Yet, there is divine order hidden in this utter chaos. It is our spiritual duty to emanate peace and divine love and, amid the exploding bombs, to deliver the healing balm of the Presence of God.

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.

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.
