Aatmagnyanam Vidya Hai - self-knowledge is true wisdom

आत्मज्ञान विद्या है

Aatmagnyanam Vidya Hai 

                                                        - self-knowledge is true wisdom

Discovering about self is the first step towards understanding life and living.  Unless you know about your true self you cannot know anything else in life or about life.  The real journey of life starts inwards within yourself to know your true being.  You need to question your fundamental existence to understand the whole concept of life and living.  It is always inside-out not outside in, in Spirituality.  Once you realize who you really are then every aspect of life is revealed to you as you are now receptive to know all the intricacies of life one by one.  Unless you empty out your being completely you will not be able to receive the revelations - knowing the unknown. 

Aatmagnyanam Vidya Hai means self knowledge is true wisdom.  Knowing others is intelligence, knowing yourself is true wisdom.  Knowledge of ourselves or know thyself is the path to become a wiser being.  

                                                            Mastering others is strength

                                                            Mastering yourself is true power

                                                                                                    -Lao Tzu 

                                                                                                                            Chinese philosopher and writer

Knowledge is gathering information about everything and storing it in your brain.  Knowing means experiencing physically about every aspect of living which becomes part of your whole being.  Your whole being knows what it is rather than just the brain.  Only an experienced person can become a wise being.  Wiseness comes out of experiencing life.

Spirituality enables you to realize and understand about your true self and helps in transforming you into an Enlightened Being by giving you insight into every aspect of life and living.  It throws light on each and every aspect of life whereby you become wiser and start living life consciously.  A wise person always lives in the present, here now.  A wise person is not a person who knows everything, in fact he is a person who has become receptive and ready to know everything as the day unfolds day-by-day throughout his lifetime. A wise person is open to everything.  Every experience enriches his life.

The journey to understand life starts from inside of your being.  Once you know inside of who you are then it is easier to know the outside world.  Outside world is a reflection of your inside world. The journey starts from within and ends outside of your self.

Undertake the journey of life by knowing yourself first.

 

Embrace Spirituality and join the ongoing celebration called life
