Listen "Breaking the Knot of “I”: Ego, Obstructions, and Awakening | Dialogues on Self Inquiry Ep 36"
Episode Synopsis
This dialogue explores the challenges seekers face in spiritual practice, from external distractions to deep-rooted karmic patterns and the central knot of ego—the “I” thought. Partho explains how true progress comes from dissolving this doership, realizing life as a play, and recognizing oneself as an instrument rather than the actor. The conversation explores liberation, detachment, and the transition from worldly attachments to higher awareness, culminating in the experience of awakening as a blissful completeness that transcends loneliness and need.00:00 Trailer00:06 Theme of obstructions in Sadhana02:28 Sources of difficulties: Conditioning, Karma, or Environment05:09 "I" as the central knot of Ego07:08 The deepest knot: ego and the “I-not”12:01 Life as a play: acting without identification16:53 Waking up: Dissolving Doership 20:18 Walk out as a free will 21:56 Infinite possibilities beyond the play 26:38 Losing interest in worldly pursuits29:57 No loneliness in awakening: Light, Bliss, and Completeness
