    Ep 565: The Message But Not The Method

    In this reflection from The Daily Vedantic, discover why Advaita Vedanta stands apart from other spiritual traditions by offering not just a profound message of non-duality, but a method to experience it directly. We explore how this 5,000-year-old philosophy systematically guides seekers from simply hearing about truth to actually realizing it in their own lives. Learn why sages insisted on precision in language, why “non-dual” is more exact than “oneness,” and why reflection and daily practice are essential to transforming knowledge into wisdom. If you’re serious about living these teachings, this one is for you.

    Ep 564: Dreaming While Awake

    In today’s episode of The Daily Vedantic, we explore the profound Vedantic teaching that what we experience is not ultimate reality, but a reflection — like seeing trees in a pond or people in a dream. Drawing from Advaita Vedanta’s concepts of Shravana (listening), Manana (reflection), and Nidhidhyasana (deep contemplation), we unpack why perception alone cannot reveal truth. Reality, like the dreamer beyond the dream, transcends our senses. This reflection challenges you to look deeper, question the surface of life, and seek the higher reality that all experiences depend on.

    Ep 563: Truth and AI

    In this powerful reflection, we explore how AI can illuminate timeless philosophy. James shares a personal story of his early connection with the OpenAI team, reflects on the potential of AI as the most dynamic and instantaneous knowledge library in human history, and then uses ChatGPT to break down the three core principles of Advaita Vedanta: Brahman alone is real, Atman is Brahman, and ignorance is the source of illusion. This episode blends technology, spirituality, and practical wisdom—showing how AI can deepen our self-inquiry and daily reflection practice.

    Ep 562: One Truth, Many Names

    In this episode of The Daily Vedantic, we dive deep into the ultimate pursuit of life — realization. Inspired by a text exchange with teacher Joseph Emmett, we reflect on the phrase, “Let’s get realized, because there is literally nothing else to do.” From the 10,000 things we chase — careers, relationships, status, pleasure — to Ramakrishna’s wisdom that there are as many paths to the Divine as there are people, this talk explores the unifying truth behind all spiritual seeking. Whether your path is devotional, intellectual, mystical, or experiential, this reflection will challenge you to see every pursuit as a step toward returning to your natural, limitless state.

    Ep 561: Philosophy and the Future

    In today’s reflection, we explore what the philosophy of the future must look like — and why Advaita Vedanta may already hold the blueprint. Drawing inspiration from John Vervaeke’s insight that the future must integrate the best of science, philosophy, and religion, we discuss how timeless principles like those in the Bhagavad Gita still map directly to our lived experience today. This reflection explores why true philosophy must not ignore science, must leave room for personal inquiry, and must speak to our direct experience — from daily choices that energize or drain us, to the “bitter at first, sweet later” truths of growth and discipline.

    Ep 560: Who’s Asking the Question?

    In this insightful episode, we explore Ramana Maharshi’s most famous teaching — the transformative question, “Who is asking the question?” Instead of offering long philosophical answers, Maharshi redirected seekers inward, inviting them to investigate the source of their own awareness. This reflection connects to Christ’s teaching that the kingdom of heaven is within and the Gita’s call to surrender, pointing to a deeper truth: what we seek is not “out there.” Nickolas invites you to pause, turn inward, and become a domain expert on the subject that matters most — the self behind the thoughts, roles, and identities we wear.

    Ep 559: What Does Being Right Look Like?

    In this reflection, we dive deep into what “being right” actually feels like — and why it often looks like failure in the moment. I share my personal story of meeting with Sam Altman and early OpenAI in 2017, when I completely doubted their chances of success. Today, OpenAI is valued at $500B and has transformed the world with ChatGPT. We explore why great innovators like Sam, Elon Musk, and Jeff Bezos are willing to be misunderstood for years, even decades, and why that is a prerequisite to creating something truly world-changing. This reflection will inspire you to keep going even when no one believes in your vision.

    Ep 558: The Inner Expressions of Our Outer Choices

    In today’s episode, we explore the powerful idea of mahat—the world you choose to live in. From the books you read to the friends you spend time with, every choice shapes your mind, your responses, and ultimately your actions. Drawing from Vedanta, we unpack how your intellect (the ability to see the end in the beginning) can help you choose wisely—whether it’s what media you consume, where you live, or the community you keep. This reflection invites you to become intentional about your environment, your satsang (truth-seeking community), and the inputs that guide your mind toward growth instead of distraction.
