Join Tasha Simms and Marc Caron as they speak with author Sarah Mane. Sarah is a Sanskrit scholar with a particular interest in the wisdom of Sanskrit as a practical means to life-mastery. Previously a teacher and school executive, today she is a transformational and executive coach.
Sarah was born and has lived in Sydney her whole life. She grew up in a leafy suburb on the north shore of Sydney with her mother, father, two brothers and a sister. At the age of eight, standing on the back step at home, she heard and felt a deep and profound energy and presence. It was limitless, pervading everything, entirely benevolent, loving, powerful and wise. Sarah felt a natural attraction and merging with this universal presence. She knew herself to be completely at one with the universe. This inner connection has never changed.
FORMAL PHILOSOPHY & MEDITATION STUDY
Sarah was blessed with open-minded questing parents, searching for the source of real knowledge and answers to Self-inquiry, Self-knowledge, consciousness and the Universe. In the late 1960’s her parents discovered The School of Practical Philosophy ( https://practicalphilosophy.org.au/) which offered philosophy and meditation classes. In 1971, at the age of ten, Sarah was offered the opportunity to join these classes too. She enthusiastically started learning about self-awareness, attention, presence, mindfulness and consciousness. She was undaunted by being the only child in adult classes as they discussed the great questions such as Who Am I? How can we become fully Self- Realized? What is meditation? What is the true meaning of life?
“I didn’t always understand what everyone was saying, but the connection
with presence and energy deep within myself was all that mattered to me. It made perfect sense.
I understood that the presence was enough. When I had something to say, everyone listened with such care, love and encouragement. All the adults were so kind and sweet to me.
I remember getting extra biscuits at the tea break!”
All of the study, discussion and practice was underpinned with meditation practice. Sarah was formally introduced to transcendental mantra meditation at the age of eleven.
“Meditation made everything make sense. It didn’t matter what was happening, and the teenage years are always perplexing, but it was meditation and a deep inner connection to presence that let all the confusion, embarrassment and awkwardness of being a teenager wash away. I often wondered what people did if they didn’t have meditation.”
As Sarah grew, she began to have a greater understanding of the conversations at the School of Practical Philosophy, and she participated more and more. She relished the discussions and questioning, and the opportunity to share and learn from direct experiences of self-awareness and presence.
