4 stages of our journey to enlightenment...

Upasana Gupta
About this episode

Getting clarity on the 4 stages of our journey to enlightenment . Point is even to get on the path, we need to be clear on what are all the tools available to us and what are the gurus really saying will work. Well it’s not a linear path that is for sure.


Start somewhere.


Preparation is the first step, then listening to what is in our scriptures, dwelling on what we heard and then finally contemplation.


All very simple but heavy at the same time.


This is the only thing which makes sense though. This session is my way of making sense out of what i am hearing and feeling - in layman’s terms. Hope it inspires you in any way.


Happy Journey!
