Tat Tvam Asi - ultimate truth

Tat Tvam Asi - ultimate truth

Accepting your own self is the first step towards knowing the Ultimate Truth - Tat Tvam Asi in life.  

We all are born on this earth where the resources were more than sufficient to take care of your day to day basic needs to sustain yourself on this planet.  It is only the insatiable desire for wealth, greed, which has made us inhuman not only towards our own species but also towards the whole nature as a whole.  The desire to possess things beyond our basic needs has made us a devil out of a human who does not care about anything or anybody and has made firm determination to destroy himself and in the process destroy the whole ecosystem supporting life on this planet.  If one sees oneself in the mirror he cannot recognize his true self as he has modified himself to such an extent that he has lost his individual identity with the acquired swabhava which is not truly his own.

If you think life is a race and you need to win at all cost or at any cost then you are getting lost or getting deviated from your original true self.  You take birth on this planet unknowingly.  You are new to your own self and new to the place in which you are born.  Once all your body parts starts functioning and all your sensory organs are active your first job is to find out who you really are and then comes the question of where you are.

Understanding your own self, realizing your swabhava, the intrinsic nature, will lead you towards the path of the knowing the unknown, the Tat Tvam Asi - Ultimate Truth.  You have to know and establish the relationship between the individual and the absolute, your connection with the whole existence.  You have to come to realization that life is interconnected in the network of the universe.  We are part of the network called existence.  We are not alone, were never alone, we are just a part of the integrated process of the whole ecosystem.  Unless you come to an understanding of the essence that we are part of the whole show and we are not apart, and you have to integrate yourself with the whole system that is already in place for your own survival and betterment, you will miss everything and you will mess with everything getting caught in the chakarvyuha of life.

You are part of the web of life, an ecosystem where living and nonliving things are interdependent, interrelated,  and interconnected with each other and working in tandem for each and every stakeholders survival on this planet.

Spirituality helps you to discover your true self through an inner journey and accepting yourself as you are and also helps you to unravel your connection with all other living and nonliving things in the existence outside of yourselves and how to align yourselves to be part of the synchronous process of nature.  It is a two-in-one journey to know inside-out of yourselves.

You need to self discover everything on your own to lead a fulfilling and fruitful life.

Unless you know the Tat Tvam Asi - Universal Truth or the Ultimate Reality, of what it is you will be thirsty throughout your lifetime.  Unless you want to know, you will never know.  The thirst should start from within you to be quenched by knowing the Ultimate Reality or the Absolute - the unquestionable finality.

Embrace Spirituality to know your true self and embrace life to celebrate life
