(5:30) In this video, Swami Ji responds to a question asked during open satsangs he shared on 18-28 January 2018 in Tiruvannamalai, India, exploring the theme of Consciousness and the Nature of Spiritual Awakening. The basis of these satsangs was a discussion of Sri Ramana Maharshi’s poem, Sat Darshana (Forty Verses on Reality).

When you have being practising Self-enquiry and have reached a state of abidance in “I am-ness”, resistance to the final Awakening can intensify. You have to become deadly serious with your practice to overcome this final resistance. You must be prepared to lose yourself completely because the whole purpose of the practice of Self-enquiry is to deconstruct the practitioner. Personal projects may become an obstacle, so you need to use your discernment to identify the obstacles in your life.
