In this Advaita Vedanta Satsang talk Robert Adams explains the importance of simply following the "I" thought to spiritual enlightenment
He discusses the suggestion that Advaita Vedanta is a selfish pursuit and shares the path to deepening stillness and realisation.


Through the power of silence, self-inquiry, and deep introspection, he challenges the conventional ideas of reality, urging us to question who we truly are beyond the roles and identities we hold in the material world.

Robert emphasizes that the key to inner peace lies in understanding our true nature as sat-chit-ananda — being, consciousness, and bliss. He reminds us that our problems, struggles, and perceived limitations are simply illusions created by the mind, and that beneath all of this lies our absolute reality.

Throughout this satsang, Robert shares timeless wisdom on:

The importance of embracing silence to experience bliss.
Why self-inquiry is the path to realizing that we are not our bodies or minds, but the limitless Self.
How the world, with all its challenges, including war and suffering, is part of the unfolding of karma and dharma.
The need to focus on awakening ourselves first, rather than trying to change external circumstances.
How following the "I" leads to the discovery of our true essence, and ultimately to liberation from the cycle of suffering and duality.
