Description: In this talk from the early 1970s, Swami Satchidananda teaches us how to recognize our essential nature—first through stepping back from identification with the body and mind. Then, recognizing that the movement of the gunas (the three qualities of nature: rajas, tamas, sattva) are what affect the body and mind and the ever-changing nature of the manifest world. By remaining as the “Witness” or “Knower” of the ever-changing, we will be able to realize True Nature as the never-changing Consciousness.
