We don’t call it escaping.

We call it travel.

Doing things.

Just taking time for myself.

But beneath these stories, something quieter moves:

Discomfort. Dissatisfaction. A low hum of unrest.

And almost always, it’s this subtle tension we are trying to outrun.

Watch the full Satsang here:

What We’re Actually Escaping

Vishrant shares candidly: his early life was full of adventures.

Commune to commune.

Group to group.

Always moving.

But behind the movement?

Discontent. It wasn’t obvious at first. It never is.

We tell ourselves it’s about growth. Or freedom. Or experience.

But if you look closely, the truth begins to show itself:

Most of us are trying to get away from something.

And what we’re trying to escape is ourselves.

The Discomfort We Don’t Want to Name

Everyone feels it.

That subtle squeeze. That restlessness that whispers, “This isn’t it.”

And the more conscious you become, the more confronting it becomes.

Because you start seeing what’s underneath:

Repressed emotion.

Pain bodies.

Unresolved trauma.

The mind doesn’t want to face this.

So it looks for another exit.

The Mind’s Clever Disguises

Escape rarely calls itself escape. It sounds like:

“I’m not interested anymore.”

“This path isn’t resonating.”

“There must be something deeper somewhere else.”

“This is too hard.”

But what’s really happening?

The discomfort has become unbearable.

And the mind, skilled at avoidance, has named it something else.

One True Exit

All distractions, whether noble or numbing, keep us in the loop.

There’s only one actual escape.

Enlightenment.

Freedom from the mind.

Freedom from dissatisfaction.

Freedom from the need to escape.

A contentment that arises for no reason.

A silence that doesn’t need to be filled.

Vishrant doesn’t speak of this as concept.

He speaks from lived experience.

The Trap Must Be Felt

Here’s the paradox: you can’t get out without going through.

You must feel what’s there.

Fully.

The pain.

The history.

The thing you most don’t want to sit with.

That’s the path.

Not around it. Through it.

Anything else is still the loop.

An Invitation to Stop Running

Public Satsang is held weekly with Vishrant.

Presence. Silence. Truth.

If you’re ready to sit with what’s real, and walk the deeper path, Mystery School offers that container.

You don’t have to keep searching.

But you do have to stop escaping.

Be here.

Be still.

Be free.
