“The desire for true freedom, the desire for real fulfillment, paradoxically can finally only be realized if you don’t do anything for its realization.”

Ironically, a spiritual practice can become the obstacle to self-realization. In this compilation Gangaji addresses the topics of meditation and practice, when they are useful and when they are a hindrance. Her invitation is to stop every effort toward what you think will give you truth and peace so that truth and peace can naturally reveal themselves in your heart.

“The powers of the mind to grasp, reject, project, and deny are the powers used to wage war. You cannot wage peace. The ground of peace that is always here is only revealed when the war ceases to be waged within your own mind. Peace is closer to you than your own breath.”

Many of us are deeply concerned about the current state of separation and war on our planet, and there is a growing collective desire to reconcile this age-old dilemma within our minds and hearts. What is the answer to personal and planetary suffering? Where can true peace finally be found? This compilation of monologues and conversations with Gangaji offers the opportunity to examine every imagined boundary between who you are and peace itself, to take responsibility for the warring factions within your own mind, and to consciously embrace the indestructible peace and compassion that is the truth of the heart.
