Guru Purnima celebrates the sacred relationship between spiritual teacher and disciple, honoring the guru's role in revealing our true nature as formless awareness. The ultimate gift a guru offers is showing us that when we realize our nature is bliss, we no longer merely feel peace—we become peace itself.

• The guru serves as a medium for highest wisdom, revealing Brahm Gyan (knowledge of formless reality)
• True devotion to the guru means living in awareness of formless consciousness, not just offering praise
• Ethical teachings from gurus guide householders in balancing spiritual life with worldly responsibilities
• Householder path and monk path are equally valid—what matters is following your natural tendencies
• Spiritual growth comes through guru's grace rather than personal effort
• Being a sincere disciple means embodying the teachings in daily life
• The mark of true realization is maintaining awareness of the formless even when not in the guru's presence

Thank you for listening to this Guru Purnima episode. If you've found value in these teachings, please share with others who might benefit from understanding the true nature of the guru-disciple relationship.

We explore a profound listener question about what comes after experiencing formless awareness and whether spiritual development plateaus after self-realization.

• Celebrating when abstract spiritual concepts become experientially clear through consistent practice
• Understanding that formless awareness exists beyond body, intellect, ego, and memory
• Recognizing that seeking "what's next" after self-realization often comes from remaining ego
• Explaining why spiritual powers (siddhis) aren't necessary for genuine enlightenment
• Addressing the misconception that awakening should grant control over the material world
• Exploring how true self-realization changes our relationship to experience rather than giving supernatural abilities
• Finding contentment in the "plateau" of awareness without needing to climb higher spiritual levels
• Understanding how being a "disciple" can continue to bring joy even after self-realization
• Learning to recognize when we're searching for the glasses already on our face

Let me know your questions about meditation and non-duality! I'm planning to restart weekly meditation sessions soon, so keep an eye out for notifications about that in the future.

After a brief hiatus, I'm back with updates about shifting from my course development to writing a book about spiritual awakening that I wish I had when starting my journey.

• Book will marry the Brahmagyaan I received with Advaita Vedanta philosophy
• Writing with my son Krish in mind as the future reader
• Includes both theoretical knowledge and practical application through Shravanam, Mananam, Nididhyasana
• Challenge of translating personal experience into concise, effective language
• Fundamental shift from seeing ourselves as "human beings having spiritual experiences" to "spiritual beings having human experiences"
• Breaking free from the cycle of samsara which operates like a hamster wheel
• Importance of humility in true spiritual realization
• Book aims to help readers understand their true nature for lasting peace and contentment
