There Is No Separate Self: Understanding Your True Self

What if the “you” you defend, worry about, and try to improve isn't who you really are? What if there is no separate self at all? In this Baba Talk by Maetreyii Ma, we explore what it truly means to understand your true self — not as an individual identity, but as part of the infinite whole. The belief that “I am separate” is the root of fear, struggle, and suffering. When that misunderstanding begins to soften, something much deeper is revealed. Through the lens of Yoga Philosophy, this teaching gently points toward non-separation and the discovery of your nature as infinite consciousness. What you call “me” — your thoughts, emotions, successes, and failures — arises within a much greater field of awareness. As the illusion of a separate identity loosens, there is a natural movement toward ego transcendence, unity consciousness, and even liberation while living. Not by achieving something new, but by seeing clearly what has always been true. Understanding Your True Self is not about becoming someone better. It is about recognizing that there is no separate self — only the one eternal presence expressing itself as all that is.

Integrating Meditation and Daily Life: Letting Go of Achievement

Many sincere seekers feel a quiet split between meditation and the rest of life. You sit to meditate and try to feel God, peace, or presence. Then you rise, and family, work, and responsibilities take over. By the end of the day, you wonder why your practice didn't carry through. You may even feel guilty. In this Baba Talk by Maetreyii Ma, we look at integrating meditation and daily life in a way that is real and natural. Instead of pushing harder or measuring progress, this teaching invites letting go of achievement and relaxing into what is already here. Meditation is not meant to be a compartment. True practice is the integration of life and meditation, where devotion is not confined to a cushion but becomes devotion in daily life. When spirituality becomes another goal, it creates pressure. When you soften, something deeper begins to open. From the perspective of yoga philosophy, this is the movement toward non-separation — not escaping daily life, but recognizing that nothing is outside the sacred. This is how spiritual life as a way of living naturally matures. Truth, compassion, and authenticity arise on their own. This is the path toward living as a Jivanmukta — inwardly free, fully engaged in ordinary life. Not through striving. Not through guilt. But by allowing love and awareness to move through everything you do.

Trechos do livro “A Manual Of Self Unfoldment”, de Swami Chinmayananda.Balakrishna Menon ou Swami Chinmayananda Saraswati (1916 - 1993), foi jornalista, professor e líder espiritual hindu.Nasceu Ernakulam na Índia, filho mais velho de um proeminente juiz. Após completar sua escolaridade formal, foi estudar jornalismo e pós-graduação em literatura e direito. Se formou na Lucknow University e até então, sentia que poderia influenciar o movimento de reforma política, econômica e social por meio do jornalismo.No verão de 1936, ele visitou o sábio Ramana Maharshi, por seus relatos pessoais posteriores, quando Ramana Maharshi olhou para ele, Chinmayananda experimentou uma emoção de iluminação espiritual que, na época, ele prontamente racionalizou como sendo mero “hipnotismo”.Enquanto trabalhava como jornalista Chinmayananda viajou para o Ashram de Sivananda em Rishikesh com o propósito de escrever uma exposição dos sadhus, mas desenvolveu um interesse no caminho da espiritualidade.Em 25 de fevereiro de 1949, o dia sagrado de Mahashivratri, Balan foi iniciado em sannyasa por Sivananda, que lhe deu o nome de Swami Chinmayananda, ou “Bem-Aventurança da Pura Consciência”. Com a bênção de Sivananda, Chinmayananda procurou um dos maiores mestres vedânticos de seu tempo, Tapovan Maharaj, e dedicou os próximos anos de sua vida a um estudo intensivo do Vedanta sob sua tutela.Swami Chinmayananda passou quarenta anos de sua vida ajudando os outros, abriu Ashrams, escolas, hospitais, asilos e clínicas em todo o mundo. E fundou a Chinmaya Mission, ensinando a espiritualidade como arte de viver.Chinmayananda escreveu 95 publicações, incluindo comentários sobre os principais Upanishads e o Bhagavad Gita. Através de Jnana yoga ele enfazitava o equilíbrio entre coração e mente, evidenciando o serviço desinteressado, estudo e meditação como pedras basilares para a prática espiritual.

En esta ocasión, relató una impactante anécdota ocurrida en su llegada a Bombay, cuando se disponía a tomar un tren de más de veinte horas rumbo a Amritapuri, en el sur del país. Un gesto solidario hacia una niña con un bebé desencadenó una situación de acoso que requirió la intervención de las fuerzas de seguridad, reflejo de las duras realidades sociales que conviven en las grandes ciudades indias. Lejos de esa experiencia, Lucas también recordó su etapa en un Ashram, donde realizó labores comunitarias y vivió un episodio de sanación emocional y física junto a una doctora ayurvédica, que reforzó su visión de India como un lugar de profundo aprendizaje interior.

What if Kundalini is not about energy symptoms—but the direct path to Moksha? This talk explores Moksha and the sacred Shiva Shakti Union through the tantric science of liberation.  Rather than focusing on techniques or experiences, this Baba Talk by Maetreyii Ma reveals Kundalini as a process of consciousness transmutation—from individual identity to infinite being, from Atman to Paramatma, and into liberation while living. Drawing on classical Tantra, this talk explains how the awakening of Kundalini Shakti moves through the chakras and layers of existence, dissolving the belief in separation, and guiding the soul toward non-separation and the realization of the eternal Self. This is the path of the Jivanmukta, one who lives in the world while established in liberation. As consciousness ascends in frequency, individuality dissolves into the Infinite, revealing unity, divine essence, and the natural state of freedom known as Moksha. Kundalini is presented not as a physical sensation or dramatic experience, but as the sacred movement of consciousness toward its source through the Shiva Shakti Union. This teaching is for sincere seekers drawn to the tantric science of liberation, chakras and consciousness, and the realization of truth beyond the limitations of the separate self.

True Meditation: From Effort and Achievement to Surrender and Divine Grace

The Babatalk's Podcast

What motivates people to meditate is rarely what leads them to true realization. In this Baba Talk by Maetreyii Ma, we explore the deeper journey of true meditation—from its beginnings in self-improvement and achievement, to the profound shift into surrender, grace, and spiritual awakening. Most people come to meditation hoping to reduce stress, improve focus, or gain control over the mind. While these benefits can arise, Maetreyii Ma explains why meditation beyond self-improvement is essential for genuine transformation. When meditation is driven by goals, outcomes, or personal achievement, it often reinforces the very structures of the ego that keep us separate from the infinite. Drawing from yoga philosophy, this talk illuminates how letting go of achievement becomes the doorway to awakening. As long as meditation is motivated by striving, effort, or the desire to “get somewhere,” the mind remains caught in samskaras—habits of desire and avoidance shaped by past experience. This teaching offers a clear and compassionate look at meditation and ego, and why effort alone cannot bring union with the divine. Instead, Maetreyii Ma points to the natural unfolding that happens when practice matures—when meditation moves from effort and achievement to surrender. In surrender, something unexpected arises: divine grace. Not as an idea, belief, or technique, but as a lived experience that opens the heart, quiets the mind, and reveals the unity of all existence. This is the shift from meditation as a tool to meditation as truth—where love, peace, and awareness are recognized as our own deepest nature. Whether you are new to meditation or have practiced for many years, this talk speaks directly to those sensing that technique alone is no longer enough, and that a deeper spiritual awakening is calling.

They are the birth labor of a new dawn––quietly forming through conscious choice and inner alignment.  This talk explores how Living in alignment with truth becomes the doorway to renewal, courage, and spiritual awakening—both personally and collectively. This message invites you to meet struggle not with fear, but with presence; not with withdrawal, but with awareness, love, responsibility, and conscious participation.  When we understand awakening through struggle, we begin to see that real power does not come from dominance or control, but from harmony with life and the wisdom of the human heart. When we live from inner truth and allow love to guide our actions, even dark times become a passage into greater clarity, peace, and connection. In this Baba Talk by Maetreyii Ma, we explore how spiritual awakening unfolds during challenging times, how ego transcendence opens the way to living in higher consciousness, and how choosing love over fear changes both our inner world and the collective field. This teaching reminds us that non-separation is not an idea, but a lived reality expressed through compassion, truth, and conscious action. This message is not a prediction of the future. It is an invitation to live in higher consciousness now—participating in the emergence of a new dawn by aligning with truth, divine love, and the deeper flow of life itself. ✨ Topics explored: Living in alignment with truth Awakening through struggle Love as a transformative force Light and darkness as states of consciousness Inner alignment in challenging times Choosing love over fear Participating in a new dawn for humanity Namaskar.

 In a society where selfishness and blind obedience are the norm, love and happiness vanish.For most people, the top priority is worrying about what others think of them.The generation raised on mobile phones is the unhappiest in modern history — unhappier than the previous three generations.Even worse, almost everyone wants to fit in, which gives politicians the freedom to do whatever they want.Our generation fought for peace, social justice, and freedom — and we achieved it.The mobile-phone generation, however, mostly cares about how they pose themselves on social media, and ignores politics.The results?Censorship.Overspending on the military-industrial complex.Massive corruption, with money funneled into wars that never serve the citizens.Coincidence?My childhood was hell — and because of that, I decided to change my life completely.I chose happiness, love, spiritual well-being, and health — regardless of what others thought of me.And I achieved that, living outside the rules of society.Yes, I was bullied. People abandoned me.My family cut ties, and I laughed it off.Girlfriends tried to censor or “tame” me — and dared to call that love. I walked away.Even now, I see women trying to censor men in almost every relationship — and the men are too cowardly to resist.For example:I became a devotee of Bhagwan and wore red.Bhagwan encouraged free sharing of love and sexuality — even group experiences.I invested all my money in therapy, sold my car, and moved into a 4-person community.I lived in India in an Ashram for 10 years, and in other Ashrams across Europe.I changed my gurus many times.I repeatedly healed my body using alternative methods when doctors failed me.I've eaten only raw food — no rice, no noodles, only vegetables and fruit — for 40 years.I have been drug-free for 40 years.I meditate and practice Qigong every day.If you read the success stories of entrepreneurs like Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, and Elon Musk, you'll see that they became successful by refusing to live by society's standards.And what about religion and spirituality?Look at the lives of Buddha, Muhammad, Jesus, Moses…Did they conform to society — or did they leave it?If you want to be truly happy, successful, or spiritual, you must leave the herd mentality.You must become your own master and stop caring what others think.Otherwise, you are letting fear dictate your life.And fear is a terrible guide.Remember: Nazism comes before the downfall — the Bible warned us.My Video:  Never Get Enslaved https://youtu.be/O-Xn6jrvPMAMy Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast5/Never-Get-Enslaved.mp3
