Effortlessness is our natural condition. How are we kicked out at every moment from Paradise, and how to stop it? How to reach effortlessness, if not through effort? In this conversation, we explore the natural state — sahaja — and why we so often leave it behind. The key, is not striving, but understanding.

Chapters:
00:00 – How to reach effortlessness
01:24 – What is sahaja and why we don’t stay there
02:33 – The misunderstanding of “how to get there”
03:59 – The event that brings effortless transformation
05:38 – Desire without direction and the arising of understanding
06:53 – The natural state after insight
07:56 – The habitual escape from simplicity
09:50 – The Garden and the Apple metaphor
11:01 – Can we really leave the natural state?
12:11 – How to check if we’re in or out
13:44 – Plotinus, Jean Klein and the two faces
15:18 – The return of reality to awareness
16:23 – The trap of evaluating the experience
17:47 – Descriptions don’t matter, only understanding
19:03 – The only understanding that matters: the reality of being
