In this episode, we explore Krishnamurti’s response to a timeless question: Is liberation a gradual process? His answer turns our usual ideas of progress upside down. Liberation, he explains, cannot be achieved through time, comparison, or struggle. The very search for freedom is itself a barrier, for it keeps us bound within conflict and desire.

Through vivid metaphors and practical examples, we reflect on Krishnamurti’s insight that true freedom is realized not by striving, but by ending the prison of conflict. When the mind is quiet, choiceless, and free from standards, life flows unhindered—and only then does the everlasting reveal itself.

Join Sam Yogi in Episode 42 for a deep dive into why liberation is not about becoming, but about seeing.

✨ Discover the timeless wisdom of the Mahopanishad on Vairagya (Renunciation), as Swami Niranjanji explains how the mind itself can become both bondage and liberation.

This is the 42nd episode of the podcast, presented in Hindi, where we continue with Mahopanishad — Chapter 3 — Part Eight on Vairagya (Renunciation).

English:
It is the mind that binds, and it is through contemplation that the mind dissolves. Cravings drag beings into the vast ocean of worldly existence, entangled in whirlpools far from their true goal. For such seekers, a mind free of desires becomes the boat of rescue. Renouncing attachment to each object, step by step, one attains Moksha—liberation.

Hindi (हिंदी):
यह मन ही बन्धन का कारण है। विचार के द्वारा ही मन अन्तर्हित हो जाता है। जिन्हें तृष्णा रूपी मगर ने पकड़ रखा है, जो संसार समुद्र में गिरे हुए हैं, भवँरों के जाल में पड़कर लक्ष्य से दूर भटक रहे हैं उनके बचाने के लिये अपना विषय विहीन मन ही नौका रूप है। जिन जिन विषयों में मन जाता है उन-उन का त्याग करता हुआ मनुष्य मोक्ष को प्राप्त करता है।

— Vedanta Keshari Swami Niranjanji Maharaj

In this episode, Sam Yogi explores J. Krishnamurti’s response to the question: “Is liberation a gradual thing?” Krishnamurti dismantles the common belief that freedom is something achieved over time, showing instead that true liberation is found in the very movement of complete and spontaneous action. Together, we reflect on what it means to live without chasing reward, fear, or future progress — and how freedom blossoms only when the mind is free from time itself.

In this episode, we dive into the Mahopanishad’s wisdom on Vairagya (Renunciation). Swami Niranjanji explains how the seen world is but an appearance, how bondage arises from identification with it, and how true liberation comes through realizing the non-dual Self as Brahman. A timeless teaching on detachment, awareness, and inner freedom.

Episode 40 – Power, Security, and the Roots of Fear – The Krishnamurti Podcast with Sam Yogi

In this episode, we explore a profound exchange where Krishnamurti is asked about the nature of power — whether it is destructive, presumptuous, or even positive when shared with others. His response cuts to the very core of human behavior: the search for security.

Krishnamurti reveals how our longing for economic, emotional, or mental security inevitably turns into a search for power. This pursuit, he explains, is rooted in an inner sense of insufficiency and loneliness. Yet, instead of bringing peace, the chase for security only breeds greater fear.

Through his clarity, Krishnamurti shows us that when we truly understand the cause of this search, the desire for power naturally ends.

Join Sam Yogi as we reflect on Krishnamurti’s timeless insights into power, security, and the roots of fear.

For seekers of truth and inner freedom, this episode invites a deep look at how fear, loneliness, and the search for comfort shape our lives.

Episode 40 — Mahopanishad, Chapter 3: On Renunciation (Part 6)
Swami Niranjanji Podcast with Sam Yogi

In this episode, we dive into the Mahopanishad’s third chapter, exploring the essence of Vairagya (renunciation). Swami Niranjanji explains that true upliftment does not come through wealth, relationships, rituals, or pilgrimages. Instead, the highest state — realization of the oneness of the individual soul (jiva) with the Absolute (Brahman) — can only be attained through inner awakening.

A timeless reflection on detachment, wisdom, and the ultimate goal of life.

In this episode of The Freedom Beyond Influence – The Krishnamurti Podcast with Sam Yogi (Episode 39), we turn to a question-and-answer session from J. Krishnamurti’s third talk in 1933 at Ommen, The Netherlands. A listener asks whether it is contradictory for Krishnamurti to speak and write while claiming he cannot help anyone.

Krishnamurti’s response reveals a profound insight: truth cannot be given by another. To discover what is real, one must be free of influence, free of fear, and able to meet each moment fully. He warns against religious organizations that perpetuate subtle fears and the “nonacceptance of opportunities”—the refusal to meet life’s openings as they arise.

Through this exploration, Krishnamurti points us back to the integrity of aloneness and the choiceless mind, where genuine understanding can flower.

In Episode 38 of The Krishnamurti Podcast with Sam Yogi, we explore Krishnamurti’s early reflections on freedom, possession, and the nature of true action.

Krishnamurti challenges us to see beyond society’s shifting standards — whether it is the right to possess or the call to renounce — and instead discover the essence of the problem itself. From this deep seeing comes freedom, not tied to law, tradition, or rebellion.

He also draws a vital distinction between action born of ambition and action born of wholeness. Achievement-driven action is narrow and limited; spontaneous action, arising from completeness, is infinite and free.

This episode is an invitation to question intensely, to live with awareness, and to discover a way of being that is beyond possession, beyond achievement, and beyond measure.

Swami Niranjanji Podcast with Sam Yogi — Episode 38
Mahopanishad, Chapter 3: On Renunciation (Vairagya), Part 4

In this episode, we reflect on a powerful passage from the Mahopanishad where Swami Niranjanji Maharaj highlights the deep injustice women have faced across ages.

हिन्दी (मूल):
"आज तक स्त्री जाति की इतनी बड़ी हानि होने का कारण भी है तो वह एक यही है कि उसे सदा दासता का ही अधिकार दिया, स्वामिनी रूप नहीं दिया। उसे सदा अशिक्षित रखा — धर्म के नाम केवल पति सेवा का अधिकार दिया व आत्म धर्म से वंचित् रखा। अशिक्षित रहने से सत् शास्त्रों के अध्ययन लाभ से भी वंचित् रखा गया तो उन्हें विवेक जाग्रत हो तो कैसे हो।"
— स्वामी निरंजनजी महाराज

English (Translation):
"The greatest harm done to women through the ages has been this: they were given the right to servitude but never the dignity of self-sovereignty. They were deliberately kept uneducated — taught only to serve their husbands in the name of religion, while being deprived of their own spiritual path. Denied access to true knowledge and scriptures, how could their inner wisdom awaken?"
— Swami Niranjanji Maharaj

Tune in as we explore how this ancient wisdom speaks to renunciation, freedom, and the awakening of true knowledge.
