The Turn to Self-Knowledge and Spirituality
by Atman Nityananda
The journey toward self-knowledge and spiritual awakening rarely begins in a state of comfort or satisfaction. Often, it arises from a sense of saturation with external life—when sensory pleasures, career achievements, entertainment, or relationships no longer provide fulfillment. At other times, it is driven by profound internal conflict, when we feel we have “hit rock bottom” and are forced by a personal crisis to look deeply within ourselves.
Such moments of saturation or crisis are often accompanied by an insatiable thirst to uncover the deeper meaning of life.
Who are we at our core?
Why are we here?
These questions ignite the beginning of a profound inner exploration.
However, this turning point requires more than curiosity or a simple desire for change. It calls for honesty, humility, and the courage to confront the darkest aspects of ourselves, to acknowledge our weaknesses, and to consciously strive for transformation. It is a gradual journey away from the illusions of the “ego” and toward a reconnection with our true essence.
On this path, inner work becomes an indispensable tool for uncovering truths that lie beyond the realm of senses, emotions, and thoughts. Each step deepens our awareness, brings us closer to genuine freedom, and fosters a lasting inner peace.
This journey is neither easy nor swift, but it is the most profound and liberating one can embark on. Ultimately, the search for truth is inseparable from the search for the very purpose and meaning of our existence.

Repeat God’s name constantly
“The water to purify your heart is the name of God.” “Of utmost importance is to increase the repetition of God’s Name (japa) daily. In this way, your heart and mind will be purified, and only then will you find (realize) God within you.”
