Comment: Big thanks Andreas Hakangard, Sweden and Richard Miller NNH, Chicago, USA Hi Richard, Oh the talks with Dr. Shankar have been wonderful. Never heard him before, watching the first with just you and him made me burst into laughter. He seems to be authorative in his approach, questioning human beliefs - exposing them to us very directly. I enjoy hearing him say that life has its own way - whatever comes to man, it's just a reflection of life and that's how it has to be. Really doesn't get that complicated. I would like to ask you - did you feel that some people were disturbed by his straightforwardness? That he seems to dismiss some questions before they are actually really formulated? I myself take it as a way of pointing to what's relevant in his teaching - or "unteaching" of the mind. Many thanks. Richard Miller: Hi Andreas, Did you watch the 2nd video with Dr Shankar and me? Wow, that one is exquisite. Yes, I think that you are right that some people are disturbed by his directness. It is too bad that they miss out on his revelation, by clinging to ideas that they know and accepting only the hoped for verification of those thoughts. We can all take a lesson from that. It is probably how the human mechanism works, and even we are blocking new input on some subtle (or not too subtle) level. Yet, Dr. Shankar is emphatic that there is nothing to "DO" about it. Let's just be open for that understanding to occur? Love to you.

Comment: Waking the teacher within. NNH Lucy, USA I cannot remember which Sage said this but it went something like: "The role of any good teacher is to wake-up the Guru within the student." Richard, I would like to thank you for this site, although I have been following it pretty much from the beginning, the last month has been really interesting. Up until you interviewed Dr. Shankar, not a single teacher has directly pointed out the "traps" of aonother teacher's teaching. I am so grateful to Dr. Shankar for boldly pointing out that many of the teachers you have interviewed do not know of what they speak because they truly cannot know of what they speak. Most of these teachers have great intentions but many of them may be speaking from an immature and unripe "Understanding". I think when the Truth first starts to dawn, the natural reaction is to run out and share it. Please don't misunderstand, I am not saying that there is anything wrong with this, I am merely pointed out the value of a more mature deeper understanding that seems to be reflected in Dr. Shankar's interviews. He pointed out how anything known has to be illusionary, and because of this even the "I AM" which many teachers hold as the reference point has to be illusionary. In one of your interviews with Dr. Shankar, a listener came on and she was trying her very best to express that the Truth has to be lived and one cannot know it as knowledge, she was trying to express that the "Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao" and Dr. Shankar pointed out to her that even that was just a concept, trying to live as the eternal Tao is another trap, trying to live without concepts. He repeatedly points out that anything that the can be known is not it, so why are we wrestling with knowing it. Even Being it, is trying to know it. Why would the Absolute try to know itself, when it is itself. Any attempt to grasp this is the Ego...it is all mental masturbation. Life happens to man, full stop. Thank you so much for what you do Richard.

Comment: www.wisdom-point.com Dr. Shankar is a rare occasion for absolute understanding. Even though I have an outlook of integration rather than non-duality, I embrace the sharing of Dr. Shankar. It is tremendous and essentially transformative unto LIGHT. Anyone who understands light and wisdom will agree. What he says is enzymatic for Enlightenment. His words make something happen that is inexplicable to knowledge or intellect. |

Comment: Houston Dialogues-1 Michael Jeffreys, Los Angeles, USA Dr. Shankar was kind enough to send me his book, Kaivalya Gita, Vol 1. If you like what you hear on this video, I would recommend you get this book. I have never read anything like it in all my years on the spiritual path. His material simply blows everything else away, including every "self-help" book that has ever been written! You can see this on Richard's face throughout the interview... he is simply stunned by most of what Dr. Shankar is sharing. Words cannot express how thankful I am to Richard for all the work he does putting these shows on the internet, and to Dr. Shankar for sharing this profound wisdom and understanding. Namaste.

Comment: Houston Dialogues-1 Michael Jeffreys, mjeffreys.com, Los Angeles, USA Dr. Shankar's material is so clear, straightforward, and free of concepts, that it is unlike anything I have ever read. I will be reviewing Kaivalya Gita, Vol. 1 on my website, and can tell you that it will be getting my highest recommendation. It's like you have been drinking dirty water all your life, but never realized it until you had your first sip of clean water. For example, after you have read Chapter 3 on LOVE, you realize that the "mind made" love that most of the humans on the planet think is love, is nothing of the sort. As Dr. Shankar says, true love is silence, so anything the mind says is noise, and therefore cannot be love. Just beautiful. Thank you Dr. Shankar for sharing your wisdom and thank you Richard for doing such a great job of bringing it to us!
