Know Yourself
have you ever had
these questions um
is there more to my life
could there be more to my life than
there already is
just getting out of bed going to work
or school or college doing my chores
meeting my friends partying etc etc
could there be more meaning to it
i started asking these questions seven
years ago
uh when i was finishing my law school
and i was
also dancing professionally at
the danceworks delhi so one day i was
driving back from my law school going to
my dance studio
and i was i was wondering that
everything is going great in my life my
life is quite happening
i’m finishing my education and i’m also
pursuing my
uh my passion for dance but
what else i had this strange
feeling of
that something was missing inside
like a a piece of me a part of me
which i know was missing but i didn’t
know what it was
or i was lost like it was lost and i had
to find that piece of puzzle
so i was driving and i was just you know
looking up
at the sky and literally talking and
saying
what else i’m sure there’s a lot more to
life than
i have figured out so far
so bring it on please i’m ready for it
because
even though my life was quite happening
but i was bored as hell
of the mundane not so mundane also but
yet i found it monday so i was just
asking
what else is that i’m sure there is
something please and ready for it bring
it on
now
i think that demarks as the beginning
of my journey of discovering
the undiscovered self
this word undiscovered i find it
it sounds very fascinating to me
undiscovered
you know it’s so vast it’s
it’s as vast as i’ll say
and that’s why i would say
we humans our species
has or could
discover as much as infinity
like there’s no limit to discovering
it’s like it’s limitless
so a lot of us keep on living our lives
without realizing and without the
awareness
of of
self you know like we’re living we’re
breathing
but we are obvious to the fact
that that we are not just this body
we are not just our thoughts or emotions
or two eyes one nose and
an appearance or what we feel and how we
how we emote and think and how we
function
we humans are so entangled in the early
worldly living that
that it some some of us i okay including
me i also took
i would say 23 years to come to this
realization that
that could there be another way of
living and not just this
you know like a robot or just getting up
doing this
that and and the sense
of
a sense of missing out on something
which is so deep and now i’ve realized
it
after after seven years of this journey
of discovering the undiscovered self now
i understand what was missing that day
so as i was saying we humans get so
entangled in the world
worldly earthly living materialistic
living that we forget
are are unaware of the fact that we
could be living our lives
in a much more blissful heavenly
divine manner you know there’s a huge
difference
how i was even breathing
back in 2007 uh 2013
and how i take my breath in now
i would say i’m just more present inside
my body
i’m more aware i’m more
alive
know it’s like it’s like i’m sleeping
earlier but not
literally sleeping my eyes were open my
brain was awake
but i feel awakened
like awaken like widely awakened at a
whole
new level in comparison to what or how i
was living earlier
so we
you know at times when we are like
really tired or fatigued what do we say
oh god i don’t have energy today i am
like so tired can’t get off the bed but
why
what runs us like how do we function
how does our body this matter this
tangible
this physical aspect how how do we run
how do we function on energy
whenever our body lacks energy
our productivity everything goes down
and the day we are like
high on energy where we can like take on
the world
so what is energy
i would say energy is like food for your
body
yeah like how our needs food
our body needs energy to run
i’m sure a lot of you have felt this
that
you know there are certain kind of
people in our life
in our lives who when the moment they
walk in through the door
you know like the entire room lights up
and they come in with so much positivity
so much energy so much
contagious energy that you know we also
become
happy and excited and lovely to see them
because
they have an amount of positivity that
energy
and and they throw that out
they project that outside
and then there are also certain people
in our life
um
who i mean when we meet them we feel
trained or you know
at times when you say oh i didn’t get
the right kind of vibe or right kind of
energy from this person what does that
mean
and why do we get to sense this how
what we humans are programmed
in such a way that we can
sense this we can sense
the vibrations the
energies around us
and the more we get connected deep
within deep
with our self
this ability keeps on increasing
so we humans have five senses which
would be your taste
touch smell sight
and hearing these five senses so you
know
they work on you know like on average
basis
but when you start connecting deep
within
they get enhanced yeah
why
because you’re connecting when you
connect with yourself
then you start connecting at a soul
level
then you start connecting with
everything around you
at a at a higher level
you become more aware
you start realizing more
your senses awaken
and you connect to the direct source
of energy which is the universe
so it’s like you awaken as a being
at a whole new level
so seven years ago
i was totally unaware of this
this aspect of life and thank god for
that day
that i asked the right kind of questions
and then seven years later i’m glad
that i’m doing this talk and all of you
have chosen to come here
so so the fact that that you are here
and listening to this that means
you are ready for it you’re ready
to accept and grab
all the gold that the universe
has to offer us i mean it’s all out
there
it’s patiently waiting for us
to catch up or to come to the well
of infinite possibilities and drink the
water
and then just light up
so we i feel that i
personally talking from my personal
experience i’ve
probably just touched the tip of the
iceberg
and there’s a lot more that could be
discovered
so going back to the five senses
now there’s you know there’s this thing
called sixth sense
what is that you know how how we say
uh some people are very intuitive like
they always know they go with their cut
feel and they’re mostly correct
or sometimes when we listen uh to our
gut feeling and
we know that okay something is wrong
this is not happening
why
because we allow the energy at that time
that we’re letting the energy to flow so
that energy is flowing in and we get to
know oh no
this is wrong oh no this is not right
for us
so that way similarly we need to be a
lot more open in our life
in every second every second of our life
and these days uh young people
especially
youth
gets you know gets bit scared when they
hear this word spirituality
or spirituality all is going really
great in my life i don’t need it
you know i’m enjoying i’m chilling all
is great in my life
for example if you have a very
comfortable sedan with a sunroof
yeah but life’s give
life gives you an opportunity to drive a
ferrari would you say
uh i don’t need a ferrari i’m happy with
my
four-wheeler my sudan would you say no
to a ferrari
so that’s what spirituality
is you have no idea
what and where it can take you in life
it’s as it’s a way of life it’s as
simple as
drinking water or breathing in or eating
your food
so if you are already happy
and you become spiritual
you become more happy so if you’re
already doing great
you will be doing even better even
greater
so with spirituality
eventually you develop your sixth sense
so there’s this french word called
clairvoyance
which means to see clearly
a clear scene
you know in in the sixth sense
you start to develop this ability
to sense and see beyond just the
tangible or the physical
aspect when you can pick up on
emotions of other people when you can
pick up on the energy of the vibrations
and you become more intuitive
that’s the sixth sense and when you
start developing that
you unlock your potential and then
there’s no limit
it’s like it’s limitless you could
unlock your potential
times infinity
and it’s easier said than done
i i was you know bit confused and lost
in 2013 that’s why all these questions
were
you were coming up in my head that i
took two years
i tried and tested couple of things some
made sense to me
and some did not so i dropped those
things
and then two years later in 2015
i i went back to those things and picked
up
a few more so in 2015 i started with
um with certain kind of meditations
then in 2017 i start with pranic healing
yoga and access consciousness and all i
can say
is
that i feel a lot more alive
a lot more energetic a lot more happier
a lot more clearer in my head
and i feel that
i’ve only like i’ve only gained this
much and probably this
this endless games
for me out there
so if if i have to put this in
like a summary
there’s so much to discover
yet we fear we fear the unknown because
we don’t understand it
but we must give it a chance
give us a chance to reconnect
you know at times we meet certain
people who don’t look their age who look
younger than
than their age why so you think they’re
they’re
they’re consuming some magic potion or
elixir of life
probably they are they’re so connected
people within this are connected from
the direct source
of energy which is the universe that’s
why they have so much energy running in
their body
that’s a why they’re so they they look
young they
feel like young because they are younger
than
so many of us around
so as i said earlier
there is so much to discover as much as
infinity so do not limit yourself
be open to reconnecting
with the direct source which is the
universe
