"'I'm right' is a closing to the possibility of conversation, of investigation."

In a powerful exchange, a man deeply engaged in peace, justice, and human-rights work asks Gangaji how to face the horrors of war without turning away from either truth or action. When he reconnects with a former college roommate whose military history he had harshly judged, he discovers that the enemy is none other than his own Self. Gangaji invites us to look beneath the impulse to make an enemy of the "other" and discover the reconciling force of peace.

Do you put more value on your doubting mind than you do on the reality of what is always present?"

In this episode, Gangaji speaks about "the wheel of doubt"—addressing the way the mind generates doubt from the "fear of being open, or being still, and not knowing." While doubt has a very legitimate purpose in our lives, when we are caught up in a pointed search for certainty it can become a life-long source of suffering. The invitation she offers is to recognize the activity of the mind and to recognize what is always here regardless of what thoughts are passing through our minds.

Meet with Gangaji live for an online public meeting on Saturday, September 5 at 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time—Sunday, September 6 at 10:00 a.m. AEST in Australia.

You'll find this and other opportunities to meet with Gangaji live on her events calendar.

"Who I am doesn't need to be thought. It's here. It's already free of thought."

In You Cannot Think Your Way Home, Gangaji invites us to stop following the next thought and fall into the living silence that is the truth of who we are. When our search for home through thoughts, experiences, and attainments truly comes to an end, we discover that we never left home—we are home itself.

This episode closes with an invitation to listeners around the globe to step outside the usual rules of a podcast and simply sit together in silence.
