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 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.
