Today I am going to share a gem with you all, that might change the course of your life, if you decide to embrace it after reading this blog-post.

This knowledge has given me so much self-control and patience. It has increased my capabilities four-fold. But most importantly, it has given me a deep insight towards the right way of living.

I believe all of us in this world strive towards becoming happier, striving to vibrate at a higher frequency of consciousness, trying to walk on the path of enlightenment, and finding the true meaning of our life as a human being. We all talk about different methods of achieving enlightenment, and go on debating what is right or wrong. But the very fallacy that we do here is to just talk. We only ‘talk’. We never experience. Indeed, I agree to the fact that talking about it all is necessary, but it has never been sufficient to eradicate the vicious cycle of Craving and Aversion.

So what can we do? No one ever taught us how to look inside, and more importantly WHAT to look inside! All the holy books we read and the “spiritual people” we follow just talk about doing it.

But how?

I have experienced something that changed the way I used to look at life completely.

This precious knowledge of which I am talking about is called the path of VIPASSANA.

Vipassana is a way of self-transformation through self-observation. It focuses on the deep interconnection between mind and body, which can be experienced directly by disciplined attention to the physical sensations that form the life of the body, and that continuously interconnect and condition the life of the mind. It is this observation-based, self-exploratory journey to the common root of mind and body that dissolves mental impurity, resulting in a balanced mind full of love and compassion.

It is not just any random meditation technique which will give you only momentary peace, but will teach you the way of controlling your mind, removing the roots of your misery, and most importantly, will show you the exact path of enlightenment.

But this path is not easy in the beginning. It’ll need a lot of determination and some faith (not blind-faith) to begin with. Apart from that, it needs a dedicated period of 10 days to learn this knowledge properly. These 10 days might turn out to be among one of the biggest investments of your life.

It require 10 days of complete isolation from the outside world, living among other people who are there to seek the same truth, just like you. Those 10 days will completely change the ways you look at this world.

You will experience things inside you which you never knew existed. And most importantly, you will be able to understand spiritual as well as religious texts like never before. The exact essence of every religion. Something that is highly misinterpreted. And most importantly, this knowledge and its practice will make you happy. No matter what the circumstances are. Happy — For as long as you want to be.

I came in contact with this knowledge in July 2016 where I thought of giving it a fair 10 day trial after reading about it from some random sources on the internet. Since then there was no turning back.

I’ve attended 3 such 10 day courses, and every single time I’ve felt that I’ve mastered the way of living this life more and more. My self-control has increased four-fold and my patience levels are much higher now. I don’t tend to easily give into temptations in the days when I’m continuously practicing Vipassana and my insight towards every situation that I face has deeply increased. After experiencing all this and experimenting properly with it, I think now I am eligible enough to share this and assuring that all this is entirely life-changing and totally worth it.

This needs to be out to as many people as possible.

Oh, and yes, it’s totally free of cost! Because the people who teach it believe that the true essence of life cannot be taught by taking money from people as it might deprive those people of this gem who are relatively poor or skeptical of spending any money. But this teaching needs to be public to all irrespective of the person’s financial status, cast, creed, race or gender.

Now, if I’ve inspired you all enough to try to dive in and just get to know more about this gem of life, I’d suggest you to have a look at this website:

I can assure you that after experiencing this yourself, you will have a drastic change in your perspective. It’s gonna break all the stupid jargon and misconceptions for ever!

This path is actually the way to free ourselves from all our miseries. And that this is the straightforward path to remain happy regardless of any circumstance. A way to understand what exactly all our religious leaders wanted to teach us. A way to understand what exactly they called “GOD” (especially for the atheists and agnostics). To break free from all debates and chaos of religious fights. To understand the very basis of our existence. To go beyond the confusing texts and “intellectual” debates. To experience the ultimate truth. To enjoy real peace, real harmony, real happiness.

We as human beings keep on fighting in the name of religion — debating and ridiculing each-other. But we don’t realize the common message that all leaders gave us. Although we talk about it many times, and many of us try to apply it in our lives, only to realize it on a superficial level and not at a subconscious level. This practice of Vipassana helps us to eradicate the deep rooted sufferings from the depths of our subconscious mind.

We try to find the answers outside, despite knowing the fact that all the answers lie within us. Ironic, isn’t it?

I am most grateful to Guruji S.N. Goenka for spreading this secret gem to the masses. This blog-post is just a small way of expressing my gratitude towards him, by introducing about it to the entire world full of people who are yet to know about it, and are yet to experience the sweet fruits of it.

May all beings be peaceful. May all of us become the true masters of our soul.

P.S. The practice of Vipassana never requires for a person to be any form of organised religion. Neither I advocate any kind of religion conversions, nor this knowledge require you to be religious or spiritual. You just need to have an open mind, a thirst to know your ‘self’ and the drive to be happier.
