    To know your own Self is to know God. To know God is to live in His unceasing presence and to find that His presence is your own presence.

  • When You're Enlightened 11/1/26

    Who will you be when you are enlightened? You will be you, but calmer, easier and happier. You will be sharper and have more clarity as well as more compassion. My Baba said, “My mind wouldn’t dare think a thought without my permission.” What kind of mind is that? Does your mind follow you or do ...

  • Removing Suffering 10/28/26

    When you remove suffering, what’s left? You. Who is the one who, unfortunately too much of the time, is suffering? So the suffering is added to who you really are.

  • Deep Meditation — Samadhi Trailer 10/18/26

    You sit quietly, easing into an inner stillness that opens inward into an expanse reality, beyond space and time. I am amazed every time someone tells me that their meditation isn’t deep enough and they want more. How do they know that something more is available? Yet they do. And you do. You alr...

  • Your Mind's Power 10/14/26

  • Sleep & Meditation Trailer 10/11/26

    You can think of your mind like a pickle jar. In sleep, it’s full of tar. Meditation empties your pickle jar. You’re used to looking at what’s in the jar. But in meditation, you can see through both layers of glass to what’s on the other side. Not looking at what’s IN your mind – but what’s on th...

  • Meditation Is Universal 10/7/26

  • Death, God & Self Trailer 10/4/26

    When you know your own immortal essence, death is not scary. Your essence is not only immortal but ageless.

  • Your Cosmic Birthright Trailer 9/20/26

    When manifesting galaxies, Shiva is called Shakti, cosmic energy, Divine energy. In the human being, this same Divine energy is called Kundalini.
