    Episode 61: The Embodiment of the Light of Awakening in Ordinary Life

    In this talk, Amoda Maa invites us turn from the recognition of the light of being to its embodiment — the lived expression of awakening in the midst of ordinary life. Recognition shows us that our true nature is awareness. Embodiment asks: How do I live this in the chaos, beauty, and unpredictability of being human? Embodiment is an ongoing journey — not a final state. It is the gentle returning, again and again, to the silent radiance that is always here. Even in the darkest moments, when we meet life with openness rather than resistance, the light reveals itself. Taken from a Weekend Online Retreat titled "The Illumination of God's Being" held in November 2025.

    Episode 60: Does Enlightenment Lead to a Perfect Life?

    A special episode: In this talk, Amoda Maa dismantles the persistent myth that awakening or enlightenment delivers a perfect, pain-free, or effortless life. Awakening does not eliminate life's polarity—its ups and downs, birth and death, pleasure and pain. What fundamentally changes is the end of resistance. When there is no longer a separate self opposing experience, a deep peace and acceptance arise that are not dependent on circumstances. From this absence of resistance, life may or may not change externally. Safety and comfort are discovered as inherent in being itself, not produced by conditions. This is a different understanding of perfection—not a flawless life, but a wholehearted intimacy with life as it is, beyond duality, beyond expectation. Taken from a series of discourses given at the "Five Spiritual Myths" online gathering held in January 2025.

    Episode 59: Unveiling the Light of Being: Ordinary Life, Extraordinary Openness

    In this episode of 'Conversations with Amoda Maa,' Amoda and Kavi explore what she calls the "light (radiance) of being"—our essential, quality-less nature that's prior to personality, thought, emotion, and circumstance. Amoda clarifies that "light" isn't a special effect or perfected persona; it's the ever-present transparency of awareness that remains when all experiences pass. The conversation unpacks how veils of conditioning (guilt, shame, unworthiness, grievance, the acquisitive ego) obscure this radiance, and how glimpses often arise in shock, beauty, or profound presence when the mind stops referencing. Awakening is both sudden and gradual: nothing outward needs to change, yet life is revolutionized from grasping and drama to a lightness of being—an ordinary, intimate openness that meets daily life without seeking the next moment for fulfillment. They touch on the potency of the shared field in gatherings, the end of horizontal seeking, and the simple inner inquiry: "What remains when experience passes?" The episode closes with a note about Amoda's forthcoming book, Unveiling the Light of Being, and upcoming events.

    Episode 58: The Courage to Stay Open: discovering the radiance of being at the core of all experiences

    In this intimate face-to-face conversation, Kavi and Amoda explore one of the most vital themes of the spiritual path—openness. What does it truly mean to stay open when life hurts, when fear arises, when the ego contracts in self-protection? Why is openness central to freedom and not merely a psychological tool? With clarity, tenderness, and depth, they examine how our culture teaches closure and how the path of awakening is a journey into the radiance of being, which is always open. This conversation points to the heart of non-dual realization, while also offering gentle guidance for those still navigating emotional contraction, fear, and the longing for peace. Whether you're a long-time seeker or just beginning, this dialogue offers a bridge between the human struggle and the timeless ground of awareness.

    Episode 57: The Power of Aloneness and the Path to Wholeness

    In this episode, Kavi and Amoda explore the subtle but profound shift from loneliness to aloneness. What begins as a reflection on the discomfort of solitude opens into a deep inquiry into the root of human suffering — the existential sense of separation. Together, they examine the many ways we habitually distract ourselves from the rawness of being — from the small everyday impulses to keep busy, to the deeper patterns of addiction, emotional avoidance, and compulsive seeking. At the heart of this inquiry lies a powerful invitation: to stop running from the quiet, and instead turn inward with open awareness. Rather than offering a method or goal, the dialogue invites a deep recognition that awareness is already present, already whole, and that what we most deeply long for cannot be found through striving, but only through a willingness to stop and fully meet what is here. What is offered here is a simple yet radical truth: that what we call "the void" is not empty or frightening, but the very fullness of being itself. This is not a conversation about escaping life, but about entering it more fully — by embracing aloneness not as a problem, but as the sacred ground where healing, love, and true wholeness can finally be discovered.

    Episode 56: Awakening in an Accelerating World

    In this conversation, Amoda Maa and Kavi explore the intensity of our times as both a crisis and an opportunity for awakening. Amoda shares insights from her book Embodied Enlightenment, highlighting how humanity is at a pivotal evolutionary moment where consciousness is becoming aware of itself through us.  Despite the turmoil and division in the world, this darkness serves as a catalyst for transformation, challenging individuals to either collapse into fear or embrace a radical shift in awareness. Rather than offering a utopian vision of mass ascension, they discuss how the intensification of fear, anxiety, and division mirrors a deeper collective and personal reckoning.  At this threshold, each person has the opportunity to break free from old paradigms and align with the unfolding of consciousness itself.

    Episode 54: Awakening to Love's True Nature

    In this podcast episode, Amoda Maa is in conversation with Kavi (host, husband, and co-founder of the Amoda Maa Foundation) about the true nature of love. They explore the difference between transactional love and an unbounded love that cannot be compromised or negotiated, and how this relates to the shift from ego-identity to awakened consciousness. Can love be known as a wholeness that is already present in being? Can love be the recognition of one's innate completeness? And what does it take to embody this knowing in everyday life?
