In this video, an intimate exchange between Tom and a Satsang member turns the heavy feeling of “I don’t know who I am” into a doorway rather than a defeat.

*Video overview
Tom responds with compassionate clarity, drawing on Ramana Maharshi, Jesus, and the wisdom of the three gunas—tamas, rajas, and sattva—to illuminate how true seeking actually works.

“The devil hid the treasure of self‑knowing in the one place we don’t like to look,” Tom says, pointing us back to the heart rather than the mind’s endless strategies.

*From doom‑scrolling to the heart
The conversation exposes how the mind uses body, mind, and world—like an addiction to our phones and doom‑scrolling—to chase self‑knowledge where it can never be found.

Tom invites us to “shed” the body‑mind‑world orientation and enter the inner sanctuary of the heart, where silence, pure spirit, and a living sense of Presence are discovered.

*The taste of true power
As this sanctuary is touched, there is a palpable power within that is not separate from who we are, and this taste naturally weakens the habit of searching outside for answers.

The dialogue gently encourages resting in this inner power instead of trying to fix or complete ourselves through external experiences and roles.

*Healing through the three gunas
Tom also speaks practically about the gunas: when we feel tamasic—heavy, depressed, defeated—it can be wise to engage in rajasic, creative, playful activity to soften old wounds and frozen energy.

From there, we become more available to sattvic clarity—calm, peaceful, and quietly blissful—which reveals what we are authentically seeking and already are in essence.

*For those on the path
This Satsang is for anyone who feels lost in self‑doubt, tired of seeking, or trapped in the mind’s “doom‑scroll,” and is ready to turn inward to the heart.
