Advaita (Nonduality)

## Introduction

Congratulations on being here.
Very few people consciously choose the spiritual path. In a world driven by material success, comfort, and constant distraction, turning inward requires courage and sincerity. It is not easy to step back from the material world and choose a God-centered life, a life dedicated to Truth. Your presence here itself reflects a deep inner calling.
This group is for those who feel that calling and wish to explore it together.

## What Are We Going to Do?

This is the first event of a newly formed group, and we are beginning this journey together from the very start.
The purpose of this group is to create a safe and supportive space where we can:

• Share our spiritual experiences and inner journeys
• Support one another on the path
• Discuss and resolve doubts through open and honest dialogue
• Remain firmly focused on the teachings of Advaita (Nonduality)

The first session will be online, allowing everyone to participate easily. In future sessions, once the group becomes more established, we can explore meeting in person at a suitable location.
This is not about preaching or intellectual debate, but about sincere inquiry and mutual growth.

## What Is Nonduality (Advaita)?

Nonduality, or Advaita, means “not two.”
It points to the fundamental truth that there is only one reality, not two separate entities such as “self” and “God,” or “individual” and “world.”
According to Advaita:

• Your true nature is pure awareness
• The sense of separation is created by ignorance (avidyā)
• Suffering arises from identifying with the body, mind, and ego

The method of Advaita is self-inquiry, deep listening, contemplation, and direct recognition of what you truly are. Enlightenment is not something to be achieved in the future; it is the removal of false identification and the clear seeing of the ever-present Truth.
Liberation (moksha) is freedom from ignorance, fear, and limitation — the realization that you are already whole, complete, and free.
This group is dedicated to exploring this Truth together, with humility, sincerity, and openness.
