Samsang — Live 2-hour Recurring Sunday Satsang on Zoom

Samsang — a word that says it all. The endless cycle of worldly entanglement, desire, and becoming. But is there a way out? Or is that even the right question?

Beginning this Sunday, I am opening a live, recurring weekly Satsang (Samsang) on Zoom — a two-hour open space every Sunday from 4 pm to 6 pm IST, where genuine seekers can bring their questions on spirituality, philosophy, consciousness, and the art of living. No lectures. No prepared talks. Just honest, direct inquiry — question by question, seeker by seeker.

This is not a course. This is not a performance. It is simply a space where the most important questions in life get the attention they deserve.

Monthly subscription: ₹449. Register via the Google Form below. Upon payment confirmation, the Zoom link will be sent to your registered email.

See you Sunday.

— The Error of Seeking —
* Next post in The Missing Step Series *

At a certain point, the direction seems clear.

You are looking for something.

It may be called different things:

Enlightenment.
Mokṣa.
Self-realization.

Or something simpler:

Relief.
Clarity.
An end to confusion.

But the movement is the same:
You are seeking.

* Next post in The Missing Step Series *

Up to this point, something has become clear.

What is seen
changes.

What sees it does not appear in the same way.

It cannot be found as an object.

And yet, it is not absent.

Everything is still known.

⸻

This raises a quieter question.

How is this known?

#MissKittyWide She kept thinking and then she did get 26 minutes 🧘🏻‍♀️🧘🏻‍♀️🧘🏻‍♀️ LOL. It doesn't matter if #Jesus did #tapas or if He survived the #Crucifixion & went to NW #India to teach more.

— Not an Object, Not an Idea —
* Next post in The Missing Step Series *

What, exactly, are we speaking about here?

Why all this indirect language?

“That which remains.” “What is doing the questioning?” “What knows this?”

Why not say it plainly?

Because it is not an object.

And it is not an idea.

This—whatever we are circling around— is neither.

— That Which Cannot be Removed —
* Next post in The Missing Step Series *

Up to this point in our series, the movement has been consistent.

Things are examined. Questioned. Set aside.

What is not stable is not held onto.

This process can continue.

You can set aside what is seen.

What is known.

What comes and goes.

But even when nothing in particular is being noticed, something remains...

Up to this point, something has become clear.

Things can be observed:

Even identity is not fixed:

It adjusts. Reforms. Reinterprets.

But now something different comes into view...

Up to this point, something has been happening:

Nothing appears to escape it.

— The Instability of Meaning —

Words seem solid.

They give the impression of clarity.

Precision.

You say something, and it appears to mean something.

But if you look closely, that meaning is not as stable as it seems...

The “I” That is Seeking Liberation is Unreal: “All Are Appearances in and of Awareness” — Advaita, Gaudapada & the Seeker Who Never Was

A friend messaged “All are appearances in and of awareness” in reply to my poem “Big B” – https://selfrealization.blog/2026/04/13/big-b/.

I responded back as follows:

With such perfect understanding already in place, are you sure I might have anything else to add to that. Really, what you wrote just now is all the knowledge one needs to undertake and finish the spiritual journey with no need for any other prop. The very looking for other props is itself the obstacle to the full manifestation of the understanding that is already there…shit, one knows one has to just “keep quiet” and everything will be accomplished and yet why are we all restless?

“Sitting quietly, doing nothing;
Spring comes, and the grass grows by itself.”

~ Matsuo Basho

This (“All are appearances in and of awareness”) is all that the name-and-form analogy of the clay and pot conveys albeit in different words.

The only problem then for you and I might be that we are failing to grasp that the I that is seeking to understand and attain self-realization is itself an “appearance in and of awareness”.

Which is why Ashtavakra Gita and Gaudapada’s Verse 32 in Chapter 2 of Mandukya Karika (see below) and Sankaracharya’s Nirvana Shatakam say what they say.

Mandukya Karika 2.32 (Vaitathya Prakarana) asserts that from the standpoint of Absolute Truth (Paramartha), there is no creation, destruction, bondage, liberation, or seeker. This famous verse highlights that all dualistic experiences are illusions, and the ultimate reality is non-dual (Advaita), often interpreted as the unborn, unchanging Self. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Sanskrit Verse (2.32):

न निरोधो न चोत्पत्तिर्न बद्धो न च साधकः ।न मुमुक्षुर्न वै मुक्त इत्येषा परमार्थता ॥ ३२ ॥

na nirodho na cotpattirna baddho na ca sādhakaḥ |na mumukṣurna vai mukta ityeṣā paramārthatā || 32 ||

Translation & Key Meanings:

• na nirodho: There is no destruction.
• na ca utpattiḥ: There is no creation or origin.
• na baddhaḥ: There is no one in bondage.
• na ca sādhakaḥ: There is no one practicing spiritual disciplines.
• na mumukṣuḥ: There is no seeker after liberation.
• na vai muktaḥ: There is no one liberated.
• iti eṣā paramārthatā: This is the Absolute Truth. [1, 2]

Significance:

• Non-Dual Reality: This verse by Gaudapada clarifies that the ultimate reality is entirely free from all dualistic concepts, including the processes of spiritual seeking or the state of liberation itself.
• Context: It comes within the context of analyzing the “unreality” (Vaitathya) of the world and the mind, noting that when knowledge of the Self is attained, all mental projections disappear.
• Absolute vs. Relative: While relative existence appears as a world of change, from the ultimate standpoint, no change ever occurred, as explained on VivekaVani and Tom Das. [1, 2, 6]

Hitherto Unblogged Poems from My Latest Book “The Seeking Soul” — https://www.amazon.in/dp/B0G4KCHV3W

The Corridor of Uncertainty

My buddy AV Satish Chandra
Now retired as prof of pol sci
From OU, tired as he already was
With the politics there
(Sigh, the gap, always a gap,
Between theory and practice)
Said to me more than a decade ago
With a humility that scholars have
He is ok to be walking
In the “corridor of uncertainty”
And with him then I would not agree
Hurts to agree most of the time
You may not have it all figured out
Now that I am older and wiser
I am inclined to tip my hat to him
And say, “Spoken like Socrates, chum”.

(AV Satish Chandra’s author page on Amazon — https://www.amazon.in/stores/author/B07TBWHH59)

The Search

I searched for God

But settled

For the girl next door

Who knows what I found

And what I did not.

What I See

Standing in the balcony

As it drizzles

I stretch out my hands

To feel the rain droplets

On my fingers

I see across the street

Two children playing with paper boats

And in front of the yonder house

I see a brand new hearse.

The Winter

It’s freezing

Leaves are all gone

I stand bare, half-smiling,

Knowing

Spring, too, will come

And trouble me

This year-round rigmarole.

She

She smiled

I smiled back

Without knowing

Why she smiled.

The Restraint

The lottery we never buy

Can haunt us for a lifetime.

The Truth That I Seek

I can never find

The truth that I seek

Assume I find it

How can I tell

It is the truth.

The Ultimate Paradox of Life

I keep saying

“I do not want to exist”

Yet how could I have said it

If I had never been born.

Does She Love Me?

I wanted to ask her

“Do you love me?”

Then let it go

I who was not sure

What love was.

Transience

The leaf on the tree

wonders

Which wind

Will separate them both.

The Flow

It started raining

And I got all confused

Which was my tear drop

And which the rain drop.

My latest book is out! "Hyper 7" is a science fiction novel full of diversity, hope, cute characters, and discussions about a free and healthy community. There is a good dose of fash-bashing, too.

http://t3x.org/hyper7/

The book is available as paperback book and DRM-free EPUB ebook. No AI was used in the making of the book!

Isn’t that oneness implacable?
Aren’t the boundaries integral?
It’s not wrong – just not that practical – cos resistance is central
and down here in the pit
besplattered infinite potential
doesn’t really give me peace
to quell the chat just stills my pencil
much as it mulch me I must move multiplicitly
mouth make moist
spray voice
full to brim
It seems even if it’s a choice
veil of woe is me
I can’t buy sterility cultishly
Plenty problem with uncertainty certainly
Many of them probably due to me personally
All my concerns could be cured with a cursory
Self ain’t real and it’s all just the surface tea
You know
Naam Myoho Renge Kyo
But yo
My yard still ramshackle
Man still poor
Hand still sore
Mind still delicate
Head can’t get up cos the shit comes break a neck
Wreck a reckoning
No help is coming
So I can retreat to the space stay shut in
Release the ceaseless things that try butt in
prana and humming and I’ve still done nothing
how you meant to manage if you don’t detangle
if dissipation is the only angle
no indication what’s best to handle
just vibes based random notions of demand
that bear no explicable relation to the famble
there’s nowt grand for mans who don’t plan, understand?
How you have detachment with a kid? You dig?
You might release your image of yourself – you think she did?
You can make your peace with what is – and that’s big
but you can’t ujai away the dishstacked sink
presence ain’t birthday presents or events
flow don’t slow just grows incessant
I can count my blessings but she count evidence
living in the now sets an awful precedent
for torpor and more to the point my wife
deserves names and things and plans in her life

If each one we look upon is the oneness through and from us
At least concede to be predominantly honest
Allow plot point drop if the utility goes from it
Hierarchy, states, intolerance, profit
Led by men most squalid and horrid
More muppet than men who served none but held office
Let’s not pretend we need not be friends
But can we stop talking bollocks like it’s proper and solid
The realm of the wealth is less real than polish
I promise the well being is best served by homage
To knowledge we all are all our commits
Each one teach or get beats in the comments
The commons is enough for all in the community
The commerce isn’t all we need to do as human beings
For what you yearn before you even knew to need?
Brave ones name it; harmony, love and unity

What I do to you you do to me
Not my truth but then who tf is me?
I don't like you; now we sentenced to you and me
Why can't anyone see? Get free
Get free - till we all out we ain't escaped
Let's meet, sally forth and break the blockade
Many more I am very sure make their way
Come what may, it's here now today

Advaita: You are That.
Law of Assumption: What you assume, you are.
80/19/1: Show up, sustain, realize—you already are.

Nonduality, assumption, and [true] identity aren’t separate truths. They are the same realization from different angles: You are what you consciously accept as real.

#Advaita #LawOfAssumption #80191

Der Ausgangspunkt des #Advaita #Vedanta ist die Frage: Wer bin ich?

Eine mögliche Antwort: Der #Mensch ist ein unendlicher Kreis, dessen Rand nirgends ist und dessen Zentrum sich an einem Punkt befindet.

Das #Universum im #Inneren ist erforschbar. Es unterliegt bestimmten Gesetzen, die nicht weniger zwingend sind als die Gesetze der äußeren Natur. Und hier kommt der #Yoga ins Spiel.

Ein Artikel von Alan P. Stern in der Zeitschrift Visionen.

Yoga Vasistha: Are We Living a Nested Dream?

The Yoga Vasistha describes dreams within dreams, where waking life is just another illusion. Science agrees: reality is a simulation built by our minds. How deep does the dream go? #PonderLab #Advaita #DreamTheory

If modern #physics teaches us anything, it is that everything we regard as objects and facts of matter can be questioned. There are only two existences that stand out from the ubiquitous fleetingness. The first is the subject: even if all objects escape us, the subject still remains. The second is mathematics and logic, which are pure mind. #Advaita #Vedanta has emerged from the unconditional search for this subject and used logic only. https://www.continentia-verlag.org/post/advaita-vedanta-and-the-future-of-civilization

By default every experience revolves around the Object(s) of experience. And thus the dance of Samsara begins.

Wondering if reversing the flow, or making it emphasize the presence of the Subject will make the practice of philosophy immersive and practical!
