What does it mean to experience the divine from within?

This week, Simran invites us into a rich conversation with Satpal Singh, founder of the nonprofit Nanak Naam, to explore a spirituality that focuses less on dogma and more on direct experience. Together, they reflect on a radical reimagining of God—not as an external figure, but as an inner current of oneness available to all.

Through stories of spiritual awakening and emotional resilience, they discuss the impact of Western paradigms like capitalism on the soul, the challenges of staying grounded amidst chaos, and the daily discipline of meditation as a path to compassion, justice, and gratitude. 

With grounded clarity, Satpal reminds us that true transformation begins within—and that peace, practiced daily, becomes a way of being.
