About this listen
In this episode, Paramahansa Yogivah Giri speaks openly about the role of a living teacher in one’s search for understanding. Drawing from decades of personal experience, he reflects on the difference between learning from direct experience and relying solely on books or systems. With gentle honesty, he shares why true knowledge of the self can’t be borrowed or memorized—it must be seen clearly within, often with the help of someone who already sees.
He offers quiet insights into the traditions he’s practiced, the teachers he’s known, and the simplicity of what’s often made to seem complex. Along the way, everyday examples—from learning to ride a motorcycle to caring for a small insect—reveal the deeper thread of attention, sincerity, and humility in the spiritual journey.
