The essence of what Prem Rawat is offering to people is very simple: the understanding and experience of peace that resides within each of us. His approach is heartfelt, practical and easy to apply. Self-Knowledge, he explains, begins when a person takes full responsibility for their own well-being and chooses to explore their inner self.
What follows is a six-minute video excerpt from Prem Rawat’s Understanding More™ Focus Session in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, USA, on August 20, 2023. Citing a Kabir poem and using examples from daily life, he elaborates on the root of disappointment – the tendency to look outside of ourselves for a sense of wellbeing and validation.
The alternative? To look within. To see clearly who we truly are. To know ourselves.
You come from the inside out, not the outside in! It’s not how you look. How do you feel?
