“At the advent of Brahma’s day, all living beings emanate from the unmanifest source. And at the fall of his night, all embodied beings again merge into their unmanifest source….” Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 8, Verse 18.
Why is the Bhagavad Gita the most widely studied Hindu scripture? It presents the profound spiritual wisdom of ancient rishis in a context we can all relate to – the battlefield of day-to-day life.

Do life’s challenges come predestined for our spiritual growth? Mooji directs our attention to that which is beyond all challenges and the influence of the ego. From this perspective it becomes evident how life takes care of life.
“Everyone who has an ego is dominated by the mind. When you are grounded in beingness, you are seeing with more godly eyes, and you don’t have to plan or control anything. Your capacity as consciousness is to see everything in the highest light.”
Mooji is a Jamaican spiritual teacher based in the UK and Portugal. He gives talks (Satsang) and conducts retreats. His followers describe Satsang as a “meeting in truth” where people come from all around the world, to ask questions about life, and seek peace and meaning.
“So last week, we talked about being in conflict. I just don’t think you can emphasize it enough… Understanding that our being conflicted is going to manifest as our many problems in this world…”

All Unhappiness Is Resistance to the Current Experience | Rupert Spira
Can we say yes to all of life even when we’re experiencing unhappiness? Is it possible to remain open and accept our experience without resisting the present moment? And how difficult is it to do this?
Rupert Spira is an English teacher of the “direct path”, a method of spiritual self-inquiry through talks and writing, and a notable English studio potter with work in public and private collections. From an early age, Rupert Spira was deeply interested in the nature of reality. At the age of seventeen, he learned to meditate and began studying and practicing the teachings of the classical Advaita Vedanta tradition under the guidance of Dr. Francis Roles and Shantananda Saraswati, the Shankaracharya of the north of India, which he continued for the next twenty years. During this time he immersed himself in the teachings of P. D. Ouspensky, Krishnamurti, Rumi, Ramana Maharshi, Nisargadatta, and Robert Adams, until he met his teacher, Francis Lucille, in 1997. Francis introduced Rupert to the Direct Path teachings of Atmanada Krishna Menon and to Jean Klein and the Tantric tradition of Kashmir Shaivism, and, more importantly, directly indicated to him the true nature of experience.
