YOUR ESSENTIAL NATURE

Swami Sivananda

The body is a bundle of flesh and bones. It is a compound of five elements. Such a body is 'Aham' or 'I' for a worldly man. It is mortal and temporal. How can you rely on this body, for eternal happiness and immortal wisdom through the senses. You are pure and bodiless. You have no mind. You are Brahman, the supreme Truth. Assert this. Realize this O Ram! O child, why do you weep. You are not this perishable body. You are the immortal Soul. Become the Self by the self. Drink the supreme nectar of non-duality. You are the pure attributeless Brahman. How can there be bondage and liberation for you. The absolute Reality is supreme Peace. You are the absolute Reality. You are indestructible and deathless. You are the wisdom, immortal, the homogeneous essence, all-pervading. Realize this and be free. Contd…


Direct your entire being—mind, intellect, emotions, sentiments, towards that one and only Being, the sole Source in whom there is enduring, eternal, unalloyed, unmixed, total happiness that would not decrease or change. That is Brahman. That is God. Make all your activities God-oriented by spiritualising them.
