The Benefit of Rejecting the World | Profound Teaching from The GREATEST Spiritual Story Ever Told

People on the spiritual path often worry about losing interest in the world because it is deemed as negative or apathetic. But all the great gurus and sages have always considered losing interest in the world as a important step on the spiritual path. Why is this view positive from an enlightened sage perspective? The ancient text of the Ashtavakara Gita explores the importance of losing interest in the world. The text conveys the beauty, depth, and simplicity of the teachings of Advaita Vedanta, the most influential of the Hindu dharmic systems. The Ashtavakra Gita is one of a few texts that is serious about going beyond everything, including the existence of the ego, to the other shore of the clear space of awareness where Atman is truly Brahman.
