For seekers, the qualities in Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs can be sought in the world, in Maya, and within, in the Heart, through self inquiry. For most of us, it’s usually a combination of the two. Tom supports us in both. But perhaps, what we are truly seeking in the pyramid can only be solidly actualized where it truly exists.

Unbothered, Untouched, Unscathed, and Unharmed
This is an edited Satsang conversation between a participant and Tom about ‘surrender’. ‘When I surrender I am happy and my life seems to go well. When I am not surrendered I am bothered and life does not go smoothly’.
Tom gives a helpful, descriptive response (using the cinema screen as a metaphor for the Self ) that he refers to as a “Drishti-Srishti Vada Teaching”, or “a teaching with objects present.
For more on Drishti Srishti Vada and the other levels of teaching, here is the article Tom refers to in this video about the 3 stages of reality
Also highly recommended are Tom’s video on Savikalpa & Nirvikalpa teachings and on Partial nonduality.

Those Who Know Don’t Say. Those Who Say Don’t Know. Says Who?
This quote is used often in non-dual circles. Sometimes it’s quoted and put in social media comments in response to posts or other comments that someone else doesn’t like!
Tom concedes that there may be some deep wisdom to this popular phrase. But like all teachings, perhaps it is good to investigate when it is helpful, and when it is not, or when it may even be problematic.
After listening to Tom’s reflections on this, what do you think?
