Beyond Awakening: Desire, Ego‑Death, and the Non‑Dual Mechanics of Liberation
In this dialogue we explore the deeper layers beyond yesterday’s discussion on desire and stillness. We look closely at why the ego fears awakening, why glimpses of awakening fade, and how true liberation differs from temporary witnessing. We examine the mechanics of ego‑death, the jnani’s relationship to emotions and the world, and what it really means to abide as the Self. The conversation unfolds into a clear non‑dual understanding of karma, grace, destiny, and the illusion of free will. Ultimately, what dissolves is the seeker; what remains is the effortless radiance of Being.
Resting in the Source: The Moment Desire Loses Its Grip & Stepping Out of the Mind’s Imagination
In dialogue we explored how desire, thought, and action arise from the mind’s restless search for fulfillment. But the moment thought stops—even briefly—what remains is an empty, formless, peaceful stillness. This stillness is not achieved; it is uncovered when the mind’s commentary falls silent. Instead of analysing who thinks, who desires, or who awakens, the simplest instruction is also the most direct: summa iru—just be quiet. All disturbance is imagination. Stepping out of that imagination reveals the Source that was never touched by it.
