Shunyamurti presents the seriousness of the situation: Reality is a high stakes game, and if we want victory over the dark side, it's all or nothing! We must unravel our patterns of self-destruction, recognize the dead end of the ego, and surrender to the light, so we can awaken the wisdom and strength to overcome suffering--destiny is in the hands of the awakened. This teaching was recorded on the morning of March 28, 2017 at the Sat Yoga Ashram, Costa Rica.

Welcome to the be-dead-while-alive-stream, brought to you from the misty mountains of Costa Rica, from the Sat Yoga Ashram. Welcome to all of those who are attending the satsang online. We’re in the midst of our annual rainy season retreat here at the ashram, and we’ve been in relative silence for the last couple of weeks and with intense classes and meditations. So I’m sure that those who are here in this local space as well as those listening online will have interesting questions—no doubt profound questions about your own journey to Self-Realization. But actually, the whole process and the whole understanding is extremely simple, and really does not need to give rise to any questions—it should actually put all questions to an end. I think the ancient metaphor that’s most useful is simply that of the drop of rainwater that returns to the ocean. Perhaps a little more accurate would be a bubble of foam on a wave on the ocean, and when that ego bubble pops, there is only the ocean. And there was never anything but the ocean. And so if we understand consciousness to be an infinite ocean—an infinite field that is beyond time and space, in which the universe appears, but that appearance is nothing more than the foam on a wave within that ocean—then we understand that we have never left the original true Consciousness, that has no boundaries, no separate units. And all we need to do is let the bubble pop and we will realize that.

Join us for a full Satsang with Shunyamurti, filled with a Q&A from residents and visitors at the Sat Yoga Ashram!

Have you been asking yourself such questions as these: Why do I keep missing connections with people?Why are lasting love relationships so difficult to establish?Are higher values becoming extinct?Why is there no little compassion and respect for truth?Why are so many people so fragile, brittle, angry, and scattered?Why are governments, corporations, and people all acting so irrationally?Why all the earthquakes and other massive geological shifts?Is all of this part of a larger pattern? Is there a purpose?Is time speeding up? Or is time an illusion? Or both?What is it all leading to?Is there light at the end of the tunnel?How can I accelerate my own inner development to be able to master the challenges ahead?

Student Question: There are two gates upon arriving at the Sat Yoga Ashram, previously known as the North Gate and the South Gate. Now they’re Shiva Gate and Vishnu Gate. Could you please describe the two entrances to the ashram? “Vishnu and Shiva are two archetypes,” reveals Shunyamurti, the archetypal leader of the Sat Yoga Institute in Costa Rica. “They are part of one of the Hindu Trinities” of Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva—the Creator, the Sustainer, and the Destroyer. “And so, there are people whose personalities tend toward the archetype of Vishnu, which is that archetype that chooses the life in duality, the expression of the greatest joy and celebration of a life that is devoted to the service of God. . . . And when one attunes to the archetype of Shiva, one is directly dissolving that egoic separation between the self and God. And one is living in the ultimate union of the two. So by the destruction of the ego, the Godself is incarnated as the Self, not as a separate being that one loves, adores—or is angry at for failing to give one the job or the life situation that one wanted. But the principle of Shaivite consciousness is that of dissolving all of the narratives of the ego into the silence of the Absolute.” Recorded on the evening of Thursday, August 19, 2010.
