A Curious Yogi with Bobbi Paidel
“Life as the unfoldment of bliss through the journey of self enquiry - this was the only thing that made sense to me.”
Today’s brilliant conversation is a peek into the lesser-known and profound Avadhoot Gita with a very special yogi, author, musician and teacher, Seegla Vistar Brecher. The Avadhoot Gita of Dattatraya: Song of the Unborn is a deep, meditative exploration of a 9th-century Advaita Vedanta text. Vistar offers her unique vision and interpretation of the Avadhoot and reveals the essence behind our collective, universal journey.
We touch on so much! But here are a few key moments:
➖13:50 Vistars Sadhana, how do you live the freedom you know exists?
➖18:38 Advadhoot describes all pairs of opposites of the human condition and transcends them
➖26:41 Reading Chapter 6 verse 3: The mind as blissful
➖36:24 The essence of the practice is when you know there is no separation between you and the world
➖46:26 The choice of the yogi is to walk through the portal
➖56:13 Reading Chapter 7 verse 9: The yogi is both free from yog and lack of yoga
➖1:02:31 Reading Chapter 7 verse 4: Where does the unease come from?

And I highly recommend grabbing your own copy of The Avadhoot Gita of Dattatraya: Song of the Unborn HERE
Vistar finishes the talk today by letting us know what is the greatest practice of a yogi - to watch. Ah, so refreshing, illuminating, inspiring and spacey - this is one of my favourite episodes yet.
In oneness,
Bobbi
