"If you are willing to surrender for a moment any definition of yourself that arises, you will directly discover what lies underneath"
Have you ever wondered what lies beneath the surface of your self-definitions? In this episode of Gangaji Podcasts, Gangaji and host Hillary Larson dive into the intriguing topic of self-identity and control. Gangaji, an American-born teacher and author, has spent over 20 years sharing the wisdom of her teacher, H.W.L. Poonja (Papaji), encouraging people to 'call off the search' and look within to find the truth of who they are.
This episode is no different, as it explores the relationship between our need to define ourselves and our desire for control. Gangaji's message is simple yet profound: if you are willing to set aside any definition of yourself, even just for a moment, you might discover a deeper sense of freedom.
Through a monologue and an engaging exchange, Gangaji discusses how our language and definitions can act as a form of control, and what happens when we let go of these constructs. She emphasises that peace is not something versus something else; it's inclusive of everything, even the things we try to exclude. One standout moment in the episode is when Gangaji talks about the power of language and how it can both define and limit us.
She suggests that by temporarily abandoning our self-definitions, we can experience a state of being that is free from the constraints of language. This isn't about rejecting language altogether but recognising its limitations in capturing the essence of who we are. The episode also touches on the emotional challenges that come with letting go of self-definitions. One listener shares their experience of feeling sadness and fear when trying to let go of their constructed identity.
Gangaji reassures them that these feelings are natural and part of the process. She encourages embracing these emotions fully, as doing so can lead to unexpected revelations and a deeper sense of peace. If you're looking for a thought-provoking exploration of self-identity and control, this episode is a must-listen. It offers a unique perspective on how we can find freedom by letting go of our need to define ourselves. So, are you ready to explore what lies beneath your self-definitions?
