The Seven Stages of Enlightenment

In this episode of In the Company of Truth, we revisit a group satsang from June 2019, inspired by an essay from my book Accept What Is. Together, we explore the seven stages of knowledge, or Jnana Bhumikas, as described in Talks with Sri Ramana Maharshi. These stages, from the longing for peace in Stage 1: Desire for Enlightenment to the stillness beyond all words in Stage 7: Turyaga, offer a profound framework for understanding the path to liberation.

While rooted in Ramana Maharshi's teachings, this interpretation is my own pointer, presented through the lens of personal experience. Each stage is discussed with care, placing English translations alongside the original terms for clarity.

If this topic resonates, you can find further insights in my essay on Substack titled What a Student Might Expect to Experience on the Path from Stages 1 to 7.

Join me as we explore this timeless progression toward the peace that is your birthright. Let’s dive in.
