How can I get closer to what I already am?" In this #satsang, Nataraj unpacks the paradox of the spiritual path and reveals how true #presence begins where seeking ends.

In this satsang from #Rishikesh, Nataraj explores the question: “How can I get closer to what I already am?” He guides us into the heart of #nonduality, revealing how the mind constructs illusions of distance, progress, and time. When we say “I’m getting closer,” who is speaking? And from where? These subtle inquiries unravel the paradox of the spiritual journey.

Through the lens of the #mind’s confusion, Nataraj explains how #truth is never far—only obscured by identification with thought. Drawing from timeless wisdom and shared presence, he speaks to the experience of feeling separate from #God, even when knowing that we are already That. The paradox itself becomes sacred: #confusion transforms into clarity when we no longer resist it.

This clip explores stages of knowing—from “I don’t know that I don’t know,” to “I know that I don’t know,” and finally resting in pure #knowingness. Touching on themes of #spiritualhierarchy, the illusion of the separate self, and the experiential gap between concept and realization, this satsang is both intimate and universal. Whether you are immersed in deep inquiry or feeling stuck on the path, this video offers an anchoring reminder: nothing needs to be added, only seen. There is no distance to travel. #Presence reveals itself not through striving, but by letting go of the seeker entirely.
