What is our True self/True Nature?

We all have heard phrases like “Get in touch with your inner self”,

“Be your true Self”, and “Retain your true nature”- but have we ever thought what this “True Nature” is all about?

We, humans, are born with innate qualities like compassion and kindness. It’s in our nature to be kind, but as we grow older our true nature is shrouded with layers of impurities. The conditioned thought process envelopes our purity and we end up making decisions out of impulsivity. Our true nature always remains pure, untouched, and intact. It’s our psyche that plays a major role in our decision-making. If we consciously practice the habit of reminding ourselves that we are not our thoughts, perceptions, or feelings but a drop of pure consciousness, we will start making better choices in life. Easier said than done, right? But it is this little mindful effort every single day that is going to make a huge difference in the way we think, act and behave over some time. We become a lot calmer and feel better from within. Our true nature is pure bliss. It’s above all transitory feelings like happiness, joy, sorrow, misery, etc. Our true nature is our higher self – the one that witnesses everything.
