What is the Three-Fold Path?

At the heart of the Three-Fold Path is the recognition that Truth is non-dual—we are all interconnected, and the divisions we perceive between ourselves and the world are illusory. The teachings invite us to remember that our true nature is timeless, silent, and still, a state that exists beyond the mind’s constant chatter. This simple but profound Truth is the foundation of the path.

Through the practice of remembrance, we return again and again to this fundamental Truth. The practice is simple. As Sri Ashish always says “Truth is supposed to be very simple.” We are not striving to attain something new; rather, we are uncovering what has always been within us, the eternal state of Being-Consciousness-Bliss (Sat-Chit-Ananda – the Ever-Pure Blissful Consciousness).

The path has three interconnected principles. Together, they form a guide to remember and realize our true nature—a nature that is inherently peaceful, joyful, and harmonious

Right Understanding (Knowing the Truth) provides right knowledge of the nature of reality and recognizing the “I AM” as the essence of ones’ being, while teaching us to see through the illusions created by the mind, to recognize the interconnectedness of all life, and to discover the truth beyond our thoughts and perceptions. Learning to see life as it truly is – beyond illusions and ego-driven narratives.

Right Practice (Remembering the Truth) gives us the tools to ground this understanding in daily life that stabilizes awareness, helping us cultivate habits that nurture inner stillness, clarity, and non-attachment.

Right Experience (Being the Truth) is the culmination of the path, where we live from a place of peace, joy and unconditional love, seeing ourselves and the world from the perspective of our true nature.

The Three-Fold Path is not a belief system or a set of rigid rules. It’s a flexible, practical approach to living in alignment with Truth. This path is not about abandoning life or becoming someone new. it’s about uncovering what has always been here. Think of it like peeling an onion: with each layer that falls away, you come closer to the core. And at the core, you find that simple Truth of “I AM” — the awareness that remains when all else is stripped away.
