In Indian culture, the highest form of consciousness is spiritual consciousness. It is not pursued for individual gain ("self") but for the well-being of all ("universal"). The establishment of Sanatan Dharma and the upliftment of humanity is inherently spiritual. Indian philosophy has always sought truth. It encompasses action (karma), religion (dharma), and knowledge (jnana) as paths. Great sages have considered spiritual transformation essential through the teachings of the Upanishads to attain the ultimate reality. In spirituality, terms such as unconscious, conscious-self, supreme being, and soul are key. The ultimate aim of life is to reach the supreme truth. A person, by recognizing their true self, becomes pure consciousness and bliss. Philosophy does not merely discuss consciousness but helps connect the individual with the supreme truth.
