"A Three-Fold Path" Retreat (13-14 September 2025)
Living in Peace with Yourself
A Retreat with Sri Ashish
Two days of stillness, practice, and self-discovery — exploring the art of Living in Peace with Yourself through the Three-Fold Path, under the open skies of New Jersey.
About the Retreat
“Peace is not something you create. It is what remains when the noise subsides” — Sri Ashish
This retreat is an invitation to pause — not to escape life, but to meet it from stillness. Over two days, we will explore what it truly means to live in peace with yourself, through the lens of the Three-Fold Path: Right Understanding, Right Practice, and Right Experience.
Through Satsangs, guided abhyas (practice), group reflections, and silence, you will uncover the peace that is already your nature.

About Sri Ashish
Sri Ashish is a modern-day teacher rooted in the timeless truth of Self-Realization. With a quiet clarity and deep stillness, he guides seekers inward — not toward belief or effort, but into a direct seeing of what is.
His teachings emphasize Right Understanding, Right Practice, and Right Experience — a Three-Fold Path for inner alignment and lasting peace. Free from dogma or spiritual theatrics, his approach is intimate, experiential, and deeply transformative.
Through retreats, dialogues, and silent sitting, Sri Ashish invites each one to come home to the simplicity of Being.
His mantra: “Sit in Silence. Question deeply. Surrender fully!”
“I do not offer you a path to somewhere else. I invite you to see that you are already home — and to rest there, as you are.” — Sri Ashish
Sri Ashish’s Core Teachings
You Are Not the Body or Mind
The body, thoughts, and emotions are temporary expressions. Your true nature is the formless, unchanging awareness that witnesses them.
“I AM” is the Bridge
The pure sense of “I AM” is the doorway between illusion and Truth. Abide in it—not as an identity, but as presence—and it will dissolve into the Reality beyond.
Silence is the Highest Teaching
Real understanding arises in deep stillness. Silence is not just absence of noise, but the natural state of the Self, where Truth reveals itself effortlessly.
Right Understanding, Right Practice, Right Experience
The Three-Fold Path is not a method to gain something, but a process of shedding false identifications:
- Right Understanding clears illusion.
- Right Practice stabilizes awareness.
- Right Experience reveals unity and transcendence.
The Doer is an Illusion
There is no individual acting. Life unfolds naturally. Let go of the notion of an ego that claims to doership, and action becomes spontaneous, pure, and free of karma.
Nothing Needs to Be Attained
Realization is not about reaching something new. It is the uncovering of what you already are—ever-present, ever-free.
Karma Ends with Identification
Karma binds only when you identify with the notion or idea of an individual ego. When you recognize your Self as pure awareness, karma loses its grip.
God, Self, and Awareness Are One
The Self that the Advaitin (one who follows the philosophy of non-dualism) inquires into is the same God that the devotee surrenders to. Bhakti (devotion) and inquiry are not separate—they converge in realization.
Transcend Even “I AM”
The “I AM” is pure conscious awareness, but even this is not the final truth. The ultimate Reality lies beyond even the subtlest sense of dualistic being—absolute, formless, silent.
Truth Is Ever-Present, Here and Now
You do not need to go anywhere. Just stop seeking outwardly, turn inward, and be still. The Truth is already what you are.
Poems By Sri Ashish
In the quiet, the whispers fade,
No need to seek, no effort made.
The breath flows softly, a gentle tide,
Drawing me inward where truths abide.
The thoughts arise, like clouds in the sky,
Transient shapes, they drift and die.
I am not the storm, nor the fleeting breeze,
But the silent vastness that sees with ease.
No need to control, no need to bind,
The peace I seek is already mine.
In the “I AM,” the center, the core,
Lies the presence eternal, needing no more.
Each moment a portal, each breath a key,
Opening the stillness that sets me free.
In this meditative embrace, I return,
To the flame of awareness, forever to burn.
In the stillness where no words reside,
The truth of being will not hide.
A quiet depth, a boundless sea,
The silence speaks, “I AM” to me.
No thought to follow, no sound to hear,
Just the essence, calm and clear.
The mind dissolves, its chatter stilled,
And peace within is gently filled.
Silence isn’t empty; it’s full of grace,
A timeless presence, a sacred space.
Not an escape, but life’s true art,
To rest in the silence of the heart.
Through breath, through pause, through mindful care,
We touch the stillness always there.
In every moment, let it unfold,
The voice of silence, quiet and bold.
