670. The Mind Perceives Name and Form but Has No Clue of Awareness, Which Is Formless

20th May 2026In this Satsang, Sanjay conducted a Satsang gathering to explain the true meaning of spiritual practice, distinguishing it from ordinary meetings or intellectual discussions about spirituality. He emphasized that genuine Satsang involves being with reality within oneself through humble and honest seeking, whether in community or solitude, and explained that the profound divine energy experienced during spiritual practice varies in intensity depending on one's surroundings and level of focus. When Radhika asked about experiencing emptiness and sadness while practicing awareness, Sanjay advised focusing on pure awareness rather than emotions or thoughts, explaining that these experiences indicate the mind's involvement and recommended surrendering completely to the awareness without expectations or personal goals. He stressed that true realization comes through either surrender or the path of knowledge (self-inquiry), warning against practices that feed the ego, and encouraged practicing with complete openness and devotion to discover the impersonal, eternal awareness within.These are teachings and pointers from ongoing NDA(Non-duality awareness)/Advaitic Satsangs held at Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi Centre in Melbourne, Australia.
