LIFE, MEDITATION & BEYOND - ANUPAM KHER & ISHAN SHIVANAND
In this dialogue, the speakers explore how meditation reveals a sense of being different and serves as a catalyst for deep self‑realisation. They describe the modern condition of sensory overload and a competitive mindset that drives people to constantly compare themselves and prove superiority. Through sustained meditation—symbolised by sitting before a Shiva lingam—they experience a shift from a state of denial to acceptance and finally celebration of the self. The practice acts like a mirror, allowing them to see beyond external symbols and recognise their true identity. They argue that such experiential insight arrives far faster than academic study of philosophy, which might take decades, positioning meditation as an accelerant for personal growth.
