The Paradox of Worthiness & Shame: Grace, Karma & The Illusion of Self
What if worthiness was never something to earn or lose, but an illusion created by the mind? In this satsang, #Nataraj explores the paradox of worthiness and unworthiness, revealing how self-judgment keeps us trapped in cycles of karma and suffering. Referencing #Jesus, #TheBible, and the wisdom of #SwamiSivananda, he unpacks the deeper meaning behind the #ProdigalSon parable—showing that divine grace is always available, not something to be merited. Through #SelfInquiry, he illuminates how the ego constructs identity through contrast—right and wrong, worthy and unworthy—perpetuating a false sense of self. As seekers deepen their #Meditation practice, they begin to see that all seeking is driven by an illusion of separation. True freedom is not found in self-improvement, but in surrender. How does the mind create the very suffering it longs to escape? What happens when we release the attachment to being "right" or "wrong"? This teaching invites you to step beyond conditioned identity and rest in the timeless presence of what simply is.
