‘He who has a why to live for, can bear with almost any how’, were the words of Nietzsche some decades ago. In this world that seems to be ever-changing, turbulent, chaotic and filled with dualities, we often find ourselves to be lost. As we reach our desired goals, internally we lack our compass, our ‘why’. Eagerly, we are roaming around the globe, striving for this and that in order to look for a way to still that hunger inside of us. Where do we find that horizon that will offer the answers to the most burning voids within us, ‘who am I?’, ‘why am I here, what is my purpose?’, ‘is there a goal to life?’, and finally ‘what is the path to that goal?’.

​

In this world, all we know consists of dualities, and thus, we will find that when we reach our desired outcome, its shadow-side joins us as a free companion. Never will there be a time when we are absolutely sure that what we have gained will stay with us, or that we will actually feel fulfilled when having achieved our goal. We are trying to fill an incompleteness within ourselves by adding external components to our life.

​

By studying the scriptures of ancient India, we learn why we are feeling these frictions and incompleteness in life and how we can subsequently feel totally fulfilled by coming back to the core of who we really are. Slowly, the amnesia that is surrounding our true essence will soften, as our consciousness looses its impurities in the form of selfishness, envy, lust, which will eventually lead to regaining our true core and state, eternal, all-knowing, bliss.
