It is indeed the mind that is the cause of men’s bondage and liberation. The mind that is attached to
sense-objects leads to bondage, while dissociated from sense-objects it leads to liberation.” – Amrita-Bindu Upanishad

“The Self that is subtler than the subtle and greater than the great is seated in the heart of every creature. One who is free from desire sees the glory of the Self through the tranquillity of the mind and senses and becomes absolved from grief.” – Katha Upanishad

The Self is always the very core of one’s own being.

It is the infinite Being-Awareness-Bliss, radiant in the eternal Now, that is your true nature.

Every human being has a choice : 
to identify with an illusory, limited persona formed from memories of the dead past and projections into the non-existent future, a mind-body-ego complex that briefly exists and disappears like a passing image on a screen
or

to be the immortal, blissful and transcendent Self that is the ever-present source and  substance of all that exists. 

This choice is your birth-right; it is why the sages declare that every human life is a precious gift.

Would you choose repeated cycles of doubt, fear and suffering or unshakable, eternal joy and peace?

O friend, life is short, death is certain: do not wait any longer.

Now, while you still can,

choose!

“Dissolve the self in the supreme Self as the space in a clay pot is dissolved in infinite space; then, as the infinite, be silent for ever, o sage!” – Adhyatma Upanishad

“To the seer, all things have verily become the Self: what delusion, what sorrow, can there be for him who beholds that oneness?” – Isa Upanishad
