Acharya Shree Yogeesh discusses the main differences between the path of monkhood and the householder, and the benefits of each. Acharya Shree says the path of monkhood is a shortcut to enlightenment because of their level of discipline and using all of their energy to grow on the spiritual path. A householder, a non-monk, can also attain enlightenment without being a monk -- it takes longer, though not impossible. In this episode, Acharya Shree also shares what he looks for in a potential female or male monk.

Acharya Shree Yogeesh uses his soft and gentle humor to explain enlightened living. For most, people believe that enlightened masters just sit around being serious, whereas this is not always true. Once a person becomes enlightened, they will continue to do the things they were doing before. Nothing changes for them as far as their lifestyle because the awakening is the biggest shift -- they see and know all things. Acharya Shree also touches on the topic of spiritual people having this idea of running away to the forest to meditate all day. He considers this escaping reality versus practicing spirituality. One is fooling themselves because they are still attached to the world, therefore, the emotions will be triggered by nature instead of humans.

Acharya Shree Yogeesh discusses further the state of non-violence, the myths and misconceptions, and how it compares to the love a mother has for her own child and how it must be expanded and extend to all living beings. It is not enough to love only a few individuals in your life, especially your children. One must love and extend compassion towards all living beings as if they were fully interconnected and not separate from the individual. Acharya Shree also explains that there is a "spiritual" non-violence and "gross" non-violence, where one applies to the soul and the other to the society. It is more important to focus on achieving personal non-violence vs. trying to changing others and the world.

Acharya Shree Yogeesh deeply explains what non-violence (ahimsa) is. Non-violence is usually understood as non-reaction and no violence in thoughts, actions and speech especially amidst conflict. Acharya Shree transcends this common world view and discusses that the real non-violence is the actual nature of the soul and that the karma and clouds surrounding it are the violence which blocks the soul from freedom. To achieve total freedom, Acharya Shree shares a practical way to eliminate the violence through the technique of self-analysis.

Acharya Shree Yogeesh describes who the Tirthankaras are and their role in the universe and their purpose. He also clarifies misconceptions about them as taught in Jainism. Through the Tirthankaras, the spiritual teachings continued to grow and expand throughout millions of years. What we know as spirituality today is rooted in the Tirthankaras teachings, found only in the Samanic Tradition.

Acharya Shree Yogeesh explains the crucial period that some seekers experience when transitioning from religion to spirituality or leaving one teacher or path behind for the real spiritual master. Seekers often times experience guilt, which Acharya Shree says is the greatest sin -- carrying a karmic heaviness doesn't help the soul flourish. By becoming a clean state, surrendering, and not comparing teachers, teachings, and paths to one another, one can be clear to fully understand and absorb a master's teachings to help them liberate their souls.

Acharya Shree Yogeesh dives into the controversial subject of fake spiritual teachers, gurus, and masters. If a student is a real spiritual student, one will know if the teacher is real. Most students are not "real" with the qualities and symptoms as discussed in previous episodes. Acharya Shree reminds us that there have been fake teachers in the past, there are fake teachers now, and there will be fake teachers in the future. The important thing is to recognize the symptoms of one who is not real even though they seem popular, are well-versed and educated, have a charismatic personality and are great speakers. One of the main qualities is that the teacher has renounced the world -- if they are indulged in luxury, gaining massive followership and fame, trick and fool people, it already shows they are not real.
