Why You Will NEVER Be Enlightened | Profound Teaching from The GREATEST Spiritual Story Ever Told

The trap of our quest for enlightenment is the moment we desire it is the moment it is lost. Desire itself becomes an obstacle to attaining liberation. But what does spiritual liberation mean to one who is enlightened with self-knowledge and has overcome desire itself? The ancient text of the Ashtavakara Gita explores the importance of not desiring enlightenment even though that may seem paradoxical and somewhat negate the endeavor itself. 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.
