To be self-conscious is to be identified with the ego, hence, to live in separation, worrying about others' judgment. While reading a Zen story about Unami, a great wrestler who could not perform well in public, Vasant Swaha shares about the importance of being natural in order to live freely - and in excellence. Once we disappear in the moment and return to our own center, we no longer worry about the outside, for there is peace within.    

Vasant Swaha is a modern mystic sharing his love, joy, and wisdom in retreats held in Brazil and in Norway. This is an excerpt from a Satsang on the 24th of July, 2023, given in the Summer Retreat at Dharma Mountain, Norway.
