Teachings

Each path of personal growth may touch a different area of our experience. One helps us understand, another to feel, another to change the way we live. But sometimes, beneath the need to work on ourselves, a deeper longing appears — for an answer to the question of what we are truly looking for.

As the sense of a separate “I” begins to dissolve, the old points of reference dissolve with it. There is immense freedom in this, but sometimes also loneliness, longing and loss. Satsang does not take away our human sensitivity — it reveals what remains even in the midst of pain.

Sometimes something within begins to stir—before any understanding appears. There’s a subtle movement that doesn’t come from analysis or planning. In the background of this stirring, a quiet question may arise: what if the freedom we’ve been seeking is already here?

At times, a subtle stir appears in experience. Thoughts begin to pull the moment away from its natural simplicity. As if a slight tension arose on the surface, one that wasn’t there before. And yet beneath all of this there is still a place that neither judges nor accelerates anything.

There are questions that do not appear to explain anything. They simply arise within experience, as if they were a natural part of it. "How to live?" is one of those questions. It does not point toward the future or a plan. Instead, it reveals a place where nothing has to be resolved.

Sometimes it’s hard to say what exactly creates tension. There may be no clear reason, and yet inside there is pressure – to understand, to manage, to keep up. As if everything depended on us.

A boundary is not always a clear “no.” Sometimes it's a subtle stepping back from what no longer feels true. Or a quiet decision that there's no need to keep playing someone else's game. In daily life, boundaries are often entangled with conflict, reaction, or the need to protect. But what if it’s not about defense?

In everyday experience, it's easy to fall into the belief that this is who we are. That life is happening for this person, in this body, with this story. But what if this is just a learned way of seeing? What if behind this story—right now—there's something more real?

In everyday experience there seems to be something called the “ego.” It comments, judges, and whispers whether things are right or wrong. But does such a thing really exist, or is it just another thought?

From the very first moments of life, we are taught that happiness is something to be earned. We hear it will come once we achieve something important – when we get good grades, when we grow up, when we find a job, a partner, a home. Always further ahead, always under a condition.

Sometimes there’s a sense that everything has already been understood. That what we are is not just a body or a collection of thoughts, but something deeper — a quiet presence that isn’t dependent on circumstances. There may even be a moment of recognition: life isn’t happening to us, but within us. And that what truly matters has always been here.

In everyday experience, the mind rarely gives us peace. Instead of silence – thoughts. Instead of presence – analysis. And yet, beneath all of this, there is something that never changes. Something that doesn’t try to understand or reach anything. Something that simply is.

Sometimes the mind feels like it's constantly moving. It tries to analyze, fix, understand – and the harder it tries, the more it gets stuck in a loop. As if it can’t stop on its own. And the question arises: is there any way out of this other than another attempt at control?

When we look at the world, we naturally see divisions – “me” and “others,” “my life” and “the life of the world.” It seems obvious that each of us is a separate being, locked in our own body and our own history. But is this really true? Is it just the way we have learned to perceive reality?

Every day we experience countless sensations in the body, but do we really pay attention to them? In the rush of thoughts and daily affairs, feeling fades into the background. Absorbed in the external world, we often do not notice the subtle signals that the body is constantly sending us. And yet, when the mind calms down, something new appears

Love is often associated with "butterflies in the stomach", excitement, desire for the other person. When it appears, the mind does not analyze - there is delight, full acceptance, exclusion of doubt. But is this really love?

Have you ever felt emotions so intensely that they seemed to be part of your identity? Fear, shame, joy – they not only appear, but seem to tell stories about ourselves. In Satsang Nitya points out that emotions are a natural part of our experience, but they do not have to limit us or take on meanings that might define us. The key

What makes us feel free? Is freedom the result of external actions or is it our natural essence that does not need to be acquired? In this excerpt from Satsang, Nitya leads us through the metaphor of a mirror – a symbol of Consciousness that reflects everything that appears in it, remaining unchanged. The mirror does not change its essence, regardless of what it sees.

A sense of separation accompanies many of us from a young age. As children, we quickly come to believe that we are separate individuals, limited to our bodies and thoughts. We take for granted the existence of an individual “self.” But does this belief hold up to close examination?

Do our thoughts really belong to us? Are we what we think we are? In this video, Nitya invites us to reflect deeply on the nature of Consciousness and points out that what we seek does not require acquisition or effort – our true nature is always present, closer than we might think.

To understand what identification with a separate self is, it is important to begin by realizing your main belief, your central story about yourself.

Many people, actually most, experience an undercurrent of unfulfillment, emptiness and longing, feelings which are closely related to a mental story based on their past experiences. The diagnosis of one's central story is incredibly sobering,

What is meditation?

This is a question that many people ask themselves at the beginning of their spiritual path. In the Western world, we often associate meditation with concentration – focusing on the breath, observing thoughts, or maintaining a specific body position. However, this does not fully capture the essence of meditation. In fact, what we usually call meditation is only preparation for it

The thought: ‘Who am I?’ will destroy all other thoughts, and like the stick used for stirring the funeral pyre, it will itself be burnt up in the end. Then, there will be Self-realization. (Seeing your true nature.)

In July, during the Vibration Festival, the musical composition "Nitya Ananda," for which the music was composed by David Rausch, had its extraordinary premiere. Festival-goers loved it from the first note, and we... decided to keep the momentum going. Soon, an English version and a music video were created.

Enlightment is for those who haven't found solace in the world. For those who find the sensory and object-based world insufficient. For those who have had enough because they can't find happiness in earthly pleasures.

Throughout the centuries, many people have tried to speak about nonduality. They came from different parts of the world and traditions. In the Hindu school of Advaita Vedanta, nonduality is called Advaita, which in Sanskrit means not-two (a – not, dvaita – two). The goal of Advaita was to realize the absolute undivided truth – reality without concepts and opinions from second or third-hand sources.
