The Power of Presence - 5.19.2009

Spiritual teaching of Shunyamurti recorded on Tuesday morning (May 19, 2009) at the Sat Yoga Institute in Costa Rica.

Excerpt:

"The difficult in explaining all this, that relates to the field of Self realization, is that the mind tends to understand everything from within the paradigm of subject/object duality, and that is the very obstacle to the Self realization we wish to achieve; and that paradigm, which is illusory, structures language itself. So the very categories of thought by which we attempt to understand ourselves prevent that understanding from occuring. This is the double-bind on the symbolic level."
