In the midst of a restless world, the search for peace often takes us outward — toward teachings, experiences, or states we believe will complete us. We chase quietude through effort, through thought, through the hope that one day we will arrive. But what if peace is not found by reaching farther — but by returning closer?

The Three-Fold Path, as shared by Sri Ashish, is not a doctrine to believe in or a method to master. It is a recognition — of what already is, within. It invites us to see clearly, to live honestly, and to abide gently in the truth of our being.

Right Understanding is not a conceptual clarity. It is the moment the mind’s movement quiets and something deeper sees — I AM is not something to become. It is what I already am. This seeing is not dramatic. It is still. It is subtle. But it changes everything. 

Right Practice is not a discipline layered on top of life. It is the simple remembrance of what has been glimpsed. Through silence, stillness, presence, or pausing before reaction, we keep the thread of awareness alive. Practice, when true, is not performance — it is intimacy with the real.

Right Experience is not a peak. It is not an attainment. It is the natural fragrance that arises when we are no longer trying to be anything at all. Peace does not come from getting somewhere. It arises when we stop running.

To walk this path is not to move forward. It is to rest — again and again — into the now, into the breath, into the bare awareness that has never left.

And in that resting, something beautiful unfolds — not an answer, but the falling away of the question.

What happens when I stop searching and simply become still?
