During this powerful #Satsang, a participant opens up about the chaos of witnessing the #mind unravel—grasping for something to hold, throwing a tantrum, and dissolving into silence. Nataraj reflects on this moment with deep clarity, pointing to the raw truth of #awakening: when identity starts to loosen, it can feel like #death, but it is not death—it is the beginning of freedom. As the illusion of the “I” collapses, there’s nothing to anchor to, and the mind resists with fear, judgment, or confusion. This is the fire of true #spiritualawakening. From the yogic teaching of #LayaYoga to a gripping story about #SwamiSivananda facing an attacker in satsang, this video illuminates the many ways the ego protests when truth begins to shine through. Even #Mooji spoke of “Satsang flu”—the body and mind resisting dissolution. Yet behind all of it is the silent knowing that you are not your thoughts, not your mind, not your suffering. #Nonduality points you to what remains when the false falls away. This is not comfort—it’s transformation. You are not the storm. You are the one in whom the storm appears.
