About this episode

The episode discusses the transition from a deliberate search for true nature to a more effortless understanding of self.

Initially, this spiritual journey almost always requires effort, that is, a sincere, deliberate and intensive search for your true nature. But once that is discovered, seeking from a sense of lack ends. There is still more to learn. Much more. But too much concerted effort at this stage can be counter-productive.
