“Practice is knowing moment to moment that your only purpose is to be at peace.”
In this episode, I sit down with my dear friend and fellow seeker, Ritambhara (Reta), to explore the heart of meditation and what it truly means to live from the unchanging truth of who we are.
Reta has been on this path of sadhana and self-inquiry for 50 years, and she shares her lived experience and knowledge as our conversation moves from personal stories of friendship to deep yogic wisdom.
We chat about why the external search for freedom so often leaves us feeling unfulfilled, and how sadhana returns us to clarity.
If you’ve been mechanically going through your practice or wondering how to drop the struggle and anchor into real inner peace, this episode is a loving reminder that the freedom you're looking for is already right here.
In this episode, we unpack:
- The Restless Search: Why travelling the world or achieving worldly success still leaves an inner longing, and how that restlessness leads us back to our true home.
- The Power of the Witness (Sakshi): Learning to shift identity away from the noisy, changing mind and rest in the silent Knower.
- Sadhana as a Way of Life: How practice isn't just something we do on a cushion or mat, but a continuous "dip" into purity that transforms how we navigate daily life.
- The Gift of Satsang & Good Company: Why gathering with other earnest seekers acts as a living field of support for your spiritual practice.
- Effortless Being: How to stop forcing spiritual experiences and start recognizing the peace that is naturally present when we surrender.
