In this episode of The Bearded Mystic Podcast, host Rahul N Singh continues to explore the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita, especially focusing on transcending the three gunas (Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas). After a year-long break, he returns with in-depth reflections, answering Arjuna's questions, and elaborating on Sri Krishna's advice about staying neutral and accepting all states of mind. Singh also discusses the path from Saguna Bhakti (devotion with form) to Nirguna Bhakti (formless devotion) and how to stabilize in ultimate bliss and Formless Awareness. Through various verses, the podcast emphasizes the journey towards realizing one's true nature as Brahman. Tune in to deepen your understanding and further your spiritual journey.

LISTEN TO THIS if you follow Radical Nonduality in 2025!
Ever wondered why some spiritual awakenings lead to chaos rather than clarity? Join me, Rahul N Singh, as I unravel the complexities of non-duality amidst the often humorous and bewildering backdrop of YouTube drama. On this episode of the Bearded Mystic podcast, we promise a candid exploration of the twofold nature of reality as seen through Advaita Vedanta. The ultimate reality of Aham Brahmasmi stands unwavering, even as the world of names and forms buzzes with activity. But what happens when spirituality lacks the intellectual backbone of Vedanta? Discover the unstable awakenings in neo-Advaita circles and the challenges they pose to daily life integration.
Tune in as I dissect the pitfalls and the fleeting nature of non-dual realizations without proper grounding. Many seekers, lost in the thrill of so-called awakenings, fail to anchor their insights, leading to abrupt decisions like deleting their channels or abandoning their spiritual pursuits altogether. Unlike an app that complements a smartphone, the world isn't just an accessory to ultimate reality but a necessary component of our transactional existence. This episode shines a light on the importance of a balanced approach to spirituality, offering seasoned seekers and newcomers alike valuable perspectives on maintaining stability in their spiritual journey.
