In this 16-part video series, Hareesh explores the most widespread distorted spiritual teachings present in our world today. Through this exploration, Hareesh uncovers why they are “near enemies” and not the Truth itself, and explains why this Truth is meaningful to the spiritual path.

Quotes:
“At a certain point, this is a tipping point on the spiritual path, one must be able to affirm, if one wants to go all the way in this journey, “I want to know what’s true, regardless of if it feels good. I want to know what’s true in the deepest possible sense regardless of whether it brings me comfort or terrifies me. I want to know what’s true regardless of whether the process of realization feels like a big long hug from the universe or feels like being stripped naked and having my skin flayed off.”
“Spirituality is not and cannot be about belief. This is exactly what differentiates it from religion. Every religion is a belief system but spirituality, when we distinguish it from religion, is that which leads you beyond all belief systems. And yet, cultivating certain beliefs is instrumental along the way.”
“All these teachings ultimately seek to point you beyond themselves which religion won’t teach you because it is an institutionalized power structure.”
“We cannot bypass the value of teachings and cultivating more beneficial beliefs even though we ultimately seek to go beyond them.”
