What is Self-Inquiry?
As the Direct Path to Self-Realization, Self-Inquiry is an approach for men and women from all walks of life. It does not require seekers to abandon religious and cultural beliefs, nor does it encourage them to move to the forest and renounce the world, their duties and/or professions.
Whether you simply desire “stress relief” or you’re an experienced yogi seeking Enlightenment in this lifetime, The Self-Inquiry Center provides tools and proven solutions to everyday problems for living a fulfilling life while not getting caught up in unconscious patterns that detract one from Authentic Happiness.
This Direct Path, or “Way-less-Way,” is free of mentally diluted beliefs and devotional rituals common with most other paths. The Center supports you in cultivating a consistent daily practice, allowing you to develop at your own pace and discover inner peace with greater clarity on your journey to realizing your True Self beyond concepts, where your continuous ground of Being becomes simply “I Am,” or what is known as Self-Realization or Spiritual Enlightenment.
About The Self-Inquiry Center
Founded in 2001, The Self-Inquiry Center is a non-secular, humanitarian harbinger of truth that holds love, compassion and gratitude as the universal norm. Multitudes of those interested in authentic spiritual awakening are being drawn to The Self-Inquiry Center, where we are bringing the vibration of peace and truth into focus for the specific purpose of manifesting a center for conscious living in accordance with the highest spiritual principles and a reverence for all life.
The purpose of The Self-Inquiry Center is to disseminate Self-Inquiry and teachings of nonduality. Both Self-Inquiry and contemplation of nonduality are components to this path of spiritual enlightenment, which replaces borrowed beliefs and intellectual knowledge with direct insight and experiential wisdom.
The Self-Inquiry Center hosts biweekly Satsangs (with online access) as well as retreats and instructional programs for all levels, including the annual Arunachala Self-Inquiry Program in Tiruvannamalai, India. The Self-Inquiry Center also offers private and group instruction, suited to all regardless of knowledge or experience.
Through Self-Inquiry, all recognize the underlying consciousness of all things to be the one reality, embracing Self-knowledge as the means to enlightened living. This results in efficiency and effectiveness by which the Center’s staff and participants actualize their ultimate destiny. In this environment, one learns integrity and Self-reliance, which allows for a transparency that breaks through all superficial manners, pleasantries and masks behind which one might otherwise hide and forget them Self.
With daily Satsang as the starting point, The Self-Inquiry Center is essentially a meditative laboratory that mirrors the one infinite consciousness, keeping all alert and sturdy, enabling all to live together harmoniously, while functioning with a single coherent function. The apparent function is to conquer any confusion within oneself and expose and uproot unconscious tendencies, finally uncovering the True Self through effortless action and by dissolving the imaginary distinctions between you and your environment where you realize the ultimate Truth.
