Discarding the teachings of his contemporaries, through meditation he achieved Enlightenment, or ultimate understanding. When he fainted away in weakness, he abandoned ascetic practices to seek his own path to Enlightenment. He continued his search and was joined by five ascetics in a grove near Uruvela, where he practiced sever austerities and self-mortification for six years. With the two of samanas he attained mystical states of elevated consciousness but he failed to find the Truth. He resolved to give up princely life and become a wandering ascetic (samana) in search for the Truth. He became aware of the suffering inherent in existence.
