Who are we? What does it truly mean to know ourselves — beyond our identities, how we look and feel, our status, and personalities?

In this enlightening conversation, Guru Shailesh a Yogic Grandmaster and founder of Divine Heart Center, guides us through the path to Self-Realization—exploring the barriers that keep us disconnected, the role of meditation, and the deeper purpose of life itself.

We discuss:

• Why everyone is on the journey of self-discovery, whether they realize it or not
• The veil of illusion—why we don’t recognize our true self
• How meditation acts as the tool to directly experience truth
• The nature of joy—why happiness oscillates & how to find eternal bliss
• The purpose of suffering—how it can serve as a catalyst for awakening
• Understanding karma & the greater purpose of creation
• The future of spiritual awakening in society

✨ "Go to the top, and everything will be added onto you." ✨

This episode is a powerful reminder that Self-Realization doesn't have to be a distant goal—it’s a process we are all moving through with our self effort. The question is: are you ready to do the work to awaken?
