Are You Practising Peace or Chaos?
Episode Overview
- Question the hidden mantras you practice daily.
- Spiritual practice isn't always necessary for awakening.
- True kindness may not fit conventional ideas of 'good'.
- Daily thoughts can be a meditation of suffering.
- Let go of the ego's drive to 'become' something.
“"This is the meditation. This is what people are meditating on. And it's a meditation of suffering."”
What are you really practising in your daily life? In this engaging episode of Gangaji Podcasts, the renowned spiritual teacher Gangaji and host Hillary Larson tackle the often overlooked question of what we practice between our formal spiritual practices. While yoga and meditation can bring peace, what about the mantras we unconsciously repeat throughout our day about our finances, health, and relationships?
Gangaji invites listeners to pause and reflect on these hidden practices that might be driving a meditation of suffering. The conversation takes an unexpected turn as they discuss whether a spiritual practice is necessary for awakening and if kindness is a true measure of spiritual growth. With humour and honesty, Gangaji shares insights on how the pursuit of being 'good' can sometimes lead us astray from true kindness and acceptance.
The episode also explores the idea of spiritual practice as a means to make oneself a 'bigger target' for awakening, rather than a goal in itself. Whether you're a seasoned practitioner or just curious about spirituality, this episode offers a fresh perspective on how our daily thoughts and actions shape our consciousness. So, what are you practising today, and is it leading you towards peace or more chaos? Tune in to find out.
