Our Purpose and What Drives Us
We believe that there’s much more to life than just the normal survival mode of working, sleeping, eating, reproducing, repeating.
Because we are not immortals and time is of the essence.
So, there are two ways to live. Either you are created by situations or you will create the situations that which you will live by.
Do you want to have everything or to become everything?
This is not about being peaceful or being happy. This is about what it means to be truly conscious and aware of life, to taste the source of creation, to find your true self, the oneness, by being in a state of nameless ecstasies where you are nothing to become everything.
When you are conscious and you perceive, from small things to big things, everything is there. If you are not conscious enough, when your perception goes down, they are not there. When your perception really goes down, let's say when you fall asleep, you cannot even perceive the world. It has disappeared in your experience. So, similarly, the more subtle a certain aspect becomes, you need a higher or more conscious level of perception.
"Meditation" or "Dhyana" means to go beyond the limitations of the physical body and the mind. Only when you transcend the limited perspective of the body and the mind do you have a complete dimension of life within you.
When you are identified as the body, your whole life is only about survival. Your whole perspective of life will be simply survival. When you are identified as the mind, your whole perspective is enslaved to the social perspective, to the religious perspective, to the family perspective. You can't look beyond that. Only when you become free from the modifications of your own mind will you know the dimension of the beyond. Can you see that this body and this mind are not yours? It is something that you have accumulated over a period of time. Your body is just a heap of food you have eaten; your mind is just a heap of impressions you have gathered from the outside.
What you have accumulated you handled well, it is your property. Like your home and your bank balance, you have a body and a mind. You have a good bank balance, a good body and a good mind. Good! This is needed to live a good life. But it is not sufficient. It is not fulfilling yet. No human being will ever be fulfilled by these things. They will only make his life comfortable and conducive. Especially if you see Western society, everything that you are dreaming of, every average citizen has. But do you think they are fulfilled, that they are blissful? Definitely not! Nowhere near bliss. So Dhyana is to transcend the limitations of body and mind, and you begin to experience yourself in a much deeper dimension.
Your instruments, body and mind are okay to live in this world for survival. But life will not be fulfilled with them. And if you don't know who you are, are you capable of knowing what the world is? If you want to know the true quality of who you are, only if you transcend the limitations of your body and mind can there be a possibility for you to experience it. Yoga and Dhyana are scientific tools, which help you to transcend the limitations of your body and mind and experience the true quality of who you are.
Without experiencing this, just eating, sleeping, reproducing and dying, your life will not be fulfilled with these. All those things are needed in your life. But our life is not complete because of these, even if you have fulfilled all these fully. This is because the quality of a human being has crossed a certain boundary of awareness. It has to seek something more, otherwise, it will never be satisfied. It has to become unlimited. So Dhyana or meditation is a way of moving into the unlimited dimension of who you are as a human being.

We live to inspire more authentic moments, where true human connection is best accomplished when we let our guards down, when we nourish one another with genuine intentions and when we surrender to revelations that we never knew were possible. We will dance, we will enjoy lavish family dinners, we will be pushed to our limits physically and emotionally and we will be reminded of the essence of life, our most sought after luxury.
The most important thing to be done right now on this planet is to raise human consciousness

Your life is beautiful only if you are creating what you care for.
