Acharya Shree Yogeesh starts off the 2nd day of Paryushan discussing two roots of suffering: raga and dvesha, like and dislike or attachment and hate, respectively. If we learn to be balanced and neutral in life, there will be no suffering. Acharya Shree continues with the question and answer session found in Chapter 29 of the Uttaradhayana between Tirthankara Mahavira and his disciples and students, focusing on what happens when a person becomes desire-less, has firth devotion to the path, and the benefits of serving/helping a teacher or master?

There is a total of 73 questions, which will all be shared through the upcoming podcasts.

Acharya Shree Yogeesh addresses how spiritual seekers should move through the storms of life, especially when feeling overwhelmed mentally and emotionally, and have too much to handle. Human life is full of life storms -- chaos. Through focus and manifestation, one can prevail.

Acharya Shree Yogeesh touches on dualism, caused by ignorance, to answer the question on how one can connect to their soul. By mentioning the word "connect" it insinuates that the soul is disconnected from us, even though we are alive because of soul. Acharya Shree encourages seekers to flow and be in the present -- when you flow, you are soul. Resistance, stress, tension, emotions, and the mind keep us from flowing. Acharya Shree encourages individuals to be confident, that they can overcome anything, and then no situation, challenge, etc. can make you lose your balance. With real confidence, one continues to flow in soul and in the present.

Acharya Shree Yogeesh sheds light on the need to discipline our minds and senses as they block the soul's awakening and the path to enlightenment and liberation. Every pore of the body, when the soul is awakened, can taste, hear, see, smell, touch; however, the clouds of karmic keep one from experience such high levels of consciousness. Acharya Shree also discusses that it is possible to get enlightened in this current life, though one must go through the difficult process of inviting karma so it can be burned. It's not necessary the body one has has the power and strength to burn a lot of karma. He discourages hurting your body in attempting to grow spirituality as it may make your body weak or make the mind go crazy. Guidance is especially important on this journey. Enlightenment is not predictable -- neither God nor a master can tell you with 100% certainty because even in the last moment, you can lose it.

Most people understand the Path of Brahmacharya as the Path of Celibacy. According to Acharya Shree Yogeesh, this translation is incomplete. Acharya Shree challenges people to see the Path of Brahmacharya as abstaining from everything that keeps you away from the soul -- not just lust or sex. Brahmacharya needs to be understood versus controlled. When you control, there is tension, but when you understand, you accept and flow. It's important to have a discipline of your senses and be aware of temptations that take you off the path. Acharya Shree wraps up the 8-day Paryushan 2020 series and reminds us that right vision, right knowledge, and right conduct lead to liberation.

Acharya Shree describes the paths of renunciation and non-possession, which go together. According to Acharya Shree, the great people renounce the world. It is important to renounce which is not you or yours -- your anger, emotions, thoughts, negativities, and lower qualities. Renunciation is freedom. Even people who do not have any possessions can still renounce. It's an inner phenomenon and lifestyle. The path of non-possession is also important for the spiritual path. It doesn't mean to live a life of poverty, it means to not be attached to inner and outer things, people, and situations. All possessions control you and can cause you stress. When you become non-attached and non-possessive, you are always satisfied, live in peace, and experience freedom.

Acharya Shree Yogeesh dives into paths of discipline which helps keep the senses and mind-controlled by the soul. Discipline is the key to enlightenment and liberation because without it your body, mind, addictions, senses, thirst for pleasure will continue to dominate your life and keep you away from knowing the soul. The body, mind, and speech need to be disciplined. The path of spiritual practices helps supplement the path of discipline. Spiritual practices such as fasting, mantras, studying under an enlightened one help one invite and burn karma so that the heaviness of ignorance is removed from the soul. Acharya Shree gives examples of inner and outer practices.

Acharya Shree Yogeesh dives deep into explaining deceitfulness and lies, which takes one away from their own innocence and flow. When a person deceives others, in truth, they are deceiving themselves. Deceitfulness is one of the kshayas, clouds, which cover the soul. And it is important that Karma doesn't forgive anyone -- it will always come back to you. The Path of Innocence is a backward journey to unlearn what others have taught you and given to you -- your mind and ideology -- and bring you to your innocent, childlike self where you were able to flow and live simply. Acharya Shree also covers the main blockages of liberation as it relates to maya -- illusion, deceitfulness.
