The Wiser Path – Make "I" Primary Through Persistent Practice and Field Reversal

In this #satsang, Nataraj explores the power of consistent, gentle practice over forceful intensity. He reveals that practicing at 20% effort for six months is far more transformative than burning out with 120% effort for six minutes. Through this, he emphasizes the importance of #persistence, #patience, and the willingness to follow through—a rare but essential quality on the #spiritualpath. Nataraj also guides seekers into the subtle but profound practice of "field reversal"—shifting awareness so that the stillness of "I" becomes primary, while thoughts, emotions, and external perceptions become secondary. He explains how, when awareness rests in the #unchangingI, the movement of the mind—#thoughtpatterns, #emotions, and #psychology—becomes observable rather than identified with. This shift is the beginning of #spiritualawakening, moving from being lost in thoughts to being aware of them. Referencing the #Bible, Nataraj reflects on the concept of #spiritualblindness—where being unaware of thoughts is to become the thoughts. By cultivating #mindfulness and observing the mind, the illusion of self-identification with thoughts begins to dissolve. This session offers a powerful reminder that #consistency and gentle effort lead to deep #innertransformation, allowing the light of awareness to shine through the habitual patterns of the mind.
