YOUR ESSENTIAL NATURE

Swami Sivananda

O man! Thou art not mortal. Thou art divine. Thou art the immortal Atman. Fear not. Grieve not. The body is a fleeting frame. It passes away. The soul is immortal. It is deathless bliss. Therefore slay your fear. Be strong and fearless. Know for certain that you are That which is everywhere and existent at all times, that which is the all, the Self or Atman, the eternal, the stable, the un-decaying. The world is not separate from you. To understand the world you must understand yourself first. Your problems are the world problems. Know yourself. Conquer yourself. Know others. Know the way to return to thyself. To return to thyself is to find thyself. Contd…
