Realizing Your True Nature with Adi Vajra

Satsang: Adi discusses the discovering one’s own truth. The mind will to co-opt the truth for it’s own purpose if we do not apply total vigilance.  “There is something here that is always true, but we’re not always true to it. An even application of both compassion and wisdom are required for the realization of the truth. Satsang recording.

Satsang: Adi discusses the nature of Satsang. When we gather we sometimes seek to solidify answers to our questions. “This tendency is going to be tested in Satsang”. He goes on… “The tendency of the mind to acquire answers and put those answers to use is in part a fixation on using information to shore up our egoic existence”. Satsang recording.

Satsang: Spirit logic vs. ego logic. The tendency to mistake the two is profound, yet they are very different – like heaven and hell. Take the statement “am I worthless?”  Within the realm of Spirit, your true self knows this to be a statement of humility, whereas in the context of the ego, the little me, a self-judgement of worthlessness can lead to depression. Listen as Adi dives deep into the differences between heaven and hell and spirit logic vs. ego logic. Satsang recording.

Satsang: When we’re stuck in the conceptual mud of enlightenment seeking, it can often feel as if we’re on an intellectual detour. So how does one know if we’re becoming more consciousness and enlightened? In this talk, Adi suggests that a good guide is to measure for the presence of love. When we’re half-baked, there may be niceness and emotional love, but an absence of a BIGGER love. When we’re fully baked, love is present and we recognize that we ARE love. Satsang recording.
