“The Self is the
source of abiding joy. Our hearts are filled with joy in seeing him enshrined
in the depths of our consciousness. If he were not there, who would breathe,
who live? He it is who fills every heart with joy.” The Taittiriya Upanishad.
Every human being wants to find true and lasting joy, because
this is the very core of being.
Who sees with your eyes, hears with your ears, thinks with
your mind, feels with your heart?
The Self is the foundation of all that exists.
It is the source and the substance of all things.
Love and peace, truth and bliss, consciousness and wisdom, all are contained in it.
Infinite, invisible, omnipotent, imperishable, perfect,
without beginning or end, the Self is a mystery beyond concept or thought.
Every living creature lives by the grace of the Self alone.
If you would make your life worthwhile, seek the truth of
the Self in the depths of your heart.
More subtle than a gossamer web, the Self cannot be seen or
touched or known: you can only BE it.
When you have become still and silent, have truly gone
beyond all attachments and desires, surrendered yourself totally with great
love and devotion, then, and only then, the glory of the Self is revealed.
Like a river merging with the infinite ocean, you merge
forever in that joy.
At last, your life becomes truly blest.
