08/15/2010: As You Ever Are

Initial silence is followed by spiritual instruction about the ever-existent Self and the never-existent ego with reference to the inquiry taught by the Maharshi and Gaudapada’s Karika 2:32. Dialogues on Self-inquiry, all and “I,” Knowledge transcendent of thought and the senses, Existence beyond the three states of mind, the imagined nature of the ego, and other topics. Concludes with a recitation in Sanskrit and English of verses from Ashtavaka Gita.
