Maharishikaa | Neo advaita nonsense versus surrender to Source | Preeti Upanishad

I have been on a spiritual path for nearly 30 years. I saw Maharishikaa's videos and went to an Immersive this year. For the past 6 months, I have stopped trying to feel 'I am the Soul' . I am feeling so much joy in my little, simple identity. Life has sweetness and fullness in it again. I had been meditating way too much, and I lost my ability to cope with life and felt as though everything had lost its meaning. Maharishikaa put order into the mess and has profoundly changed my life. Namaskaar Maiyaa

Suddenly this wonderful lady has given me hope. I so got confused with western surrender - wanted to believe - but didn’t. This lady says what IS believable to me..thanks so very much…

I'm not sure if you are going to see this comment of mine but your open approach and tolerance to what truth is to an individual is truly admirable. I love how you told at the end that we shouldn't trust an other person but ourselves to find our meaning and purpose. Although I have a bit different views but I respect your ways and I thank you for offering us a new light on these teachings.

Beautiful like a surgeon. Precise.

"It's a quiet path of growing joy. It's not this explosion into enlightenment." 🙏🙏🙏🙏

I was in an ego destroying cult with an evil tantra. I'm sooo very glad I found someone who thinks profound but simple! Thank you

Thank you for bringing clarity into how to be living a spiritual life and being present 💕

What to do? if you're not brave enough to go with the truth. Or if you're lazy, lazy, lazy... She is something else. Always inconvenient, I love it

I have learned from Ramana's words that I don't have to worry about 'my ego' at all. The question 'who am I' has no answer, but every answer in the the mind shows what you are not. The observer, the observation and that which is observed is everything and that is enough.

Although I really hesitate to make a west vs. east distinction I must confess that I have started so notice a similar thing happening within the Buddhist community as well. Not so much that we see western teachers cherry-picking a non-duality approach among all the topics within the Buddhist teachings, but rather we see western senior teachers putting together their own mix of favourite topics and approaches that they then launch on a competitive spiritual market. All of a sudden we learn about a whole new Buddhist ‘lineage’ that is being marketed as ‘secular’ buddhism. Presumably for those who chose to ignore or couldn’t bear the sacred aspects and have no idea why someone could benefit from going on a pilgrimage, for instance. Or chanting prayers, for that matter.  Another group of people have come to only accept the Buddhist teachings on a very scaled-down form of Vipassana and nothing else. Obviously missing the point that vipassana is embedded within everything a Buddhist practitioner do. Then we have the ones that so bravely take on the role of a Varja Master and start propagating Buddhist tantra and varjayana without providing with the proper preparations and precautions. Arrogantly, foundational practices are being shunned and disregarded as archaic and for lesser endowed students only. In all of this we see a profound arrogant attitude in the western mind towards many of the traditional aspects that is being experienced as uncomfortable or less sexy. In all of this we see one very obvious factor; -a profound lack of wisdom and a deep disrespect for the sanity and intelligence with which these traditions were designed to be of maximum benefit several millennia ago. We are witnessing a hi-jack and a distortion of these sacred traditions taking place in front of us, right now. In many cases these practices from our sacred traditions are being peddled as mere therapeutic remedies to a public that have no inclinations towards giving rise to wisdom or reach transcendence. It is as if everything that is being touched by the western mind turns into ash and dust. It looses all its power and potency in the hands of these people.

This is a great clarification, thank you.

Lovely ❤️🥰❤️ 🙏🏻

realization and surrendering are but the same, they are both not forgetting. When truth is experienced all this is just semantics, both the same

Listen to Swami Sarvapriyananda Ji Vedanta society NY .. Faslse ego gets replaced by a Healthy ego .

She confuses the I AM as a direct knowing from I AM as a thought. But I AM is a direct experience as you do not think about experience, but experience experience. Thoughts need the I AM to be able to show up at all. Even if there is no thought there is still the I AM. By suggesting to surrender she follows a more bhakti approach, but she gives nothing to surrender to. That is why it will not work as surrender is always dual.

Thank you Maharishikaa ❤

That or this in your vocabulary is reflection of your state of surrender

Hooray. Someone dissing all the neo-Adwaitan rubbish.
