18 May 2025 Sama Darsanam means staying anchored in the shared consciousness behind all beings, without getting caught up in surface differences. It’s not escapism; it’s awakening. Many traditions promise liberation only after death—entry into some divine realm like Śiva Loka, Viṣṇu Loka, or eternal heaven. But Krishna says liberation is possible here and now. When we see the one consciousness shining through all diversity, we rise above the fleeting world. This is true freedom—not in some faraway place, but in our direct experience of unity. Liberation begins the moment we stop seeing “other.”
