Nataraj leads a profound inquiry into the subtle ways the false self hijacks spiritual life—especially for those navigating #OCD, anxiety, or compulsive overthinking. In this illuminating #satsang, he reveals how the mind disguises clinging as surrender and self-improvement as readiness for grace. Drawing from #nondualteachings, personal stories, and practices like #NetiNeti and #LayaYoga, Nataraj shows how even affliction can become a doorway to true #awakening.

This satsang explores the hidden momentum of compulsive doing—especially when it masquerades as spiritual practice. Responding to a heartfelt question about OCD and the obsessive need to prepare, Nataraj illustrates how the ego cloaks its strategies in devotion. Through the metaphor of addiction, he reflects on identity, compulsive thought, and the seeming impossibility of simply stopping. But through the #spacebetween thoughts, real #freedom begins—not by doing more, but by being still.

This Satsang was held on 04/07/2025 from Anand Lok Ashram in Rishikesh, India.
