Next Level Soul interviews Guru Nath. The host introduces him as a walking spiritual master, in a conversation framed around Babaji. Asked what a person should do, Guru Nath says to live the way Lahiri Mahasaya did, as someone with a household who still reaches the aim. He talks about the mind as a looking glass. While that glass remains, one kind of stillness stays tied to it. When the glass breaks, he says, there is nothing left to grip, and the state changes into a deeper stillness. He also says the ego is sly and can come back at any moment, which is why he will not announce that he himself is enlightened. His advice is simple and practical, and you can try it in your own daily life.
