The Imperative of Meditation - Shunyamurti

"Meditation is the discovery of the real Self...."
Shunyamurti teachings taken from a Sat Yoga Ashram meditation weekend.
Shunyamurti, teacher and founder of the Sat Yoga Institute discusses the imperative of engaging in meditation and awakening the dormant powers within us by achieving yoga, or God realization, ego death, and spiritual liberation. He discusses the current world situation and our potential to meet the challenges by calling upon the wisdom and love that emerges on an authentic spiritual path to awakening - a non dual path of advaita, meditation, and ego transcendence.

ABOUT SHUNYAMURTI: Shunyamurti’s life-long quest for truth and the power of healing our souls and our world has brought about a deep understanding of the dynamics of the traumatized ego, the karmic trajectory and wounds of the soul, and the radiant healing power of the Supreme Real that is the One Self. He has learned how to work on all levels simultaneously to help sustain the ecstasy of Self-realization. Many years of meditation practice and training in numerous forms of yoga, including apprenticeship with Baba Hari Dass, ten years of vowed association with a Brahmachari ashram in India, a special resonance with Sri Ramana Maharshi and a deep study of Advaita and esoteric Shaivism and Buddhism, have been supplemented by the intensive study of western metaphysics, modern sciences, profound exploration of the dimensions opened by entheogens, trans-personal psychology, various forms of psychoanalysis and Jungian dreamwork, and the entire development of the perennial philosophy, including Taoism, Kabbalah, and mystical Christianity. Shunyamurti now functions as spiritual guide, retreat leader, and teacher of the Sat Yoga Ashram and Community, in addition to his ongoing advanced research in the Yogic sciences. www.satyoga.or...

[To All Who Listen to Shunyamurti’s Teachings: Thank you all for your serious consideration of these ideas, which are intended to help you live a more coherent, peaceful, creative, compassionate, and productive life, and to be of service to the welfare of our world. We understand that our approach to existential concerns is not for everyone. We honor your right to disagree with these ideas and to stop listening if you do not like them. We gladly post comments with disagreements, if they are stated in a positive and mature manner, that allows civilized discourse about your own contrary ideas, and which may spark further useful and profound thought about the important issues that the teachings raise. If there are sincere questions about the teachings, or misunderstandings that can be clarified, Shunyamurti is always ready and willing to respond with helpful elaborations and even to cite texts and other authors whose writings may be of assistance to serious seekers. But comments that are simply angry and insulting, immature and unreasonable, will be removed because they undermine the educational and inspirational purpose of this project. Those who have questions that are more personal should write us in a private email and one of the teachers in our wisdom school will respond in the same way, or if the question is a very subtle or difficult one and requires a response from Shunyamurti, we will forward it to him on your behalf, and when he can, he will respond personally. By the way, we want to clarify that these teachings are new, they are not simply a repetition of old traditional teachings, but integrate current thought in the sciences, psychology, cultural studies, and philosophy. Shunyamurti speaks from his own realizations and deep clinical experience as a healer.]

I spent the first 41 years of this life being religious. I started my spiritual quest in 1991 looking for this explanation, to try and understand who I am, what’s the problem and what’s the solution. Tonight is the fulfillment of quest. Now the surrender of what I thought I was to be what I always was. What a profound mystery, but when seen, so simple! Thank you Shunya and all at the Sat Yoga Institute.🙏

[@satyogainstitute]

Thank you Steve, for your commitment and dedication to living in Truth! Namaste, Sat Yoga

[@larryprimeau7738]

he's speaking naturally without effort and it is reflected even in his facial expression. but he's susceptible at needing to use too many words.

[@shawnpalmer6715]

can't fix the mind with the mind

[@tmalonso]

shouldn't all levels of consciousness be acceptable when the ego is truly transcended? diversity is a universally applicable concept, not an old old wooden ship ;)...Its not just for genetics, not just for fauna and flora, not just for investment portfolios...universal application. to consider/label one side better than the other rather than accepting the coin as both is to fall victim to the musings of a concealed ego...which is far more dangerous

[@ksan1648]

+Theo M. Doesn't this viewpoint merely reduce to moral relativism? And what then might be said of efforts towards things like social reform?

[@tmalonso]

Xander Powell if variety is the spice of life, boring is the bitter ;)

[@ksan1648]

Theo M. I'd rather have 'boring' egalitarianism over the 'variety' of class warfare and totalitarianism.

[@tmalonso]

Xander Powell what if there is a middle way? ;)

[@ksan1648]

Theo M. How is there a 'middle way' between some people having most of the power vs. all of the people sharing their power? The only other option seems to me to be something like "all people are equally disempowered," but this hardly makes sense. Can you provide some loose sketch of what this 'middle way' might look like? I realize that "the middle way" is a Buddhist concept and perhaps you're being coy, but I'm having trouble cognizing exactly what it is that you mean.

[@musicloverforever8475]

[@yvonnepeters1914]

Love it! That's what I thought too about meditation. 🙏

[@mykovong]

Thank you 🙏

[@johnnylovessheki]

Does the ego mean “I do”? I noticed through investigations that anything “I know” is past tense, a download of information in a capacity of memory in the crystallized mind then applied through action of the body makes it seem like one is doing something, materiality is only remembered and “seems” is only speculation, based, on memory. The “this” therefore is pre-recorded, one can’t escape it. The “I” takes ownership only through remembering experience which is past tense. Now, is all there is and all there is is “this”, just this. if This, is God, so be it

[@jakescorpion1]

I agree with everything you said but meditation alone does not get the ego maniac to realize his ego and what truly motivates him. You are singing to the choir. The people in your presence obviously know this. The problem is with the herd of maniacs in this world who do not know this and will not listen. I'm not trying to throw cold water on you but I deal with this everyday and teach the ego as well but most fail in their attempts to overcome it due to the lack of psychological training and the society we live in that does nothing but reinforce it rather than teach them to overcome it.

Haji!

[@vegtamvanderveg]

Is it real meditation if music is used?

[@NoahsArc0101]

no. you cannot have sonic distractions if you are to enter the "void". however, sound in itself can be used for healing, but not for true meditation. the ultimate rests in zero frequency = total silence. hope that helps.
