Definition
- True Nature or simply nature (Skt. स्वभाव Svabhava or तत्व Tatva) is the essential, unchanging nature of the self as distinct from the temporary modifications of the body-mind. It is what you are when all conditioning is removed.
Key Teachings
- Your True Nature is the experiencer not the body, not the mind, not thoughts, not emotions, not roles.
- It is ever-present and requires no improvement or attainment only recognition.
- All spiritual practices ultimately aim at the recognition of one's True Nature, which was never lost.
- True Nature is sat-chit-ananda existence, consciousness, bliss itself.
