Welcome to Episode 12 of Enlighten Up! Join our hosts, Spiritual Teacher Morgan O. Smith and Comedian Nathan Griffith, along with our special guest, the Poet & Philosopher, Sajeepan Arikaran, for a fascinating conversation that’s both enlightening and entertaining. Immerse yourself in the profound concept of everything and nothing, as Sajeepan shares his powerful experiences with Oneness while in Sri Lanka. Share in the thrill as Nathan recounts his near-death experience, and engage in the lively debate on the lived experience versus the intellectual understanding of self-realization, and the true purpose of a Bodhisattva. Hear Morgan passionately explain why he doesn’t necessarily feel compelled to awaken individuals within this lifetime, and join in as he and Sajeepan debate about what matters to the individual self versus the Ultimate Self. Sajeepan also provides us with a unique insight into the Eastern and Western interpretations of the term ‘universe,’ underscoring the intriguing differences in perspective. Join the impassioned discussion on the importance of meditation, yoga, and the role of whole-brain functioning in relation to Nondual suchness. Also, explore contrasting viewpoints on the obligations of a spiritual teacher and the responsibilities of the student. Indulge in the lighter moments as Morgan shares his views on comedy and his aversion to individuals who interpret jokes based on their religious biases. Have a laugh with the trio as they joke about Sajeepan’s skepticism about Morgan’s vegan lifestyle and tease Sajeepan about his unusual fishing companion. Lastly, Morgan delves into the paradoxical nature of enlightenment, discussing the impossibility of a perfectly enlightened being, yet recognizing that perfection can indeed be experienced during the moment of enlightenment.
