Hey all,

Welcome back to Meeks Speaks - where I review books in spirituality, psychology and development categories and throw in some personal stories along the way and just generally speak what's on my mind.

This episode was inspired by a new book I stumbled across "Be as you are" - teachings of Sri Ramana Maharshi who is a silent sage of South India who speaks of "the self" and devoted his whole life with no possessions just sharing his teachings regarding achieving liberation.

I speak about my "experience" of enlightenment back when I was 12/13, where the word @selfdevsundayss came from and although I am not recommending us all to be a sage and go to india, but some altruistic traits from Ramana we can get inspired by.

Sources to other material I referenced:

Jnani documentary about Sri Ramana Maharshi : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVYv9ktilQw&ab_channel=CINEFXPRODUCTIONS

Altruism case study: https://www.apa.org/pubs/highlights/peeps/issue-48

Give it a listen and share some love over on @selfdevsundayss instagram page.

Catch you all, same time next week for another episode of O.T.E.D!
