You are not the emotions that rise and fall like waves. You are not the thoughts that flicker and fade. The world offers a grand illusion, a dance of attachment and expectation. The mind, caught in this dance, forgets its true nature.
But there is a path back to yourself. It is not a path of struggle, but of surrender. Simply turn your attention away from the clamor and towards the quiet hum of existence. Perform your duties not for the fruits they may bring, but for the sacredness of the act itself. This is devotion.
The divine is not some distant entity you must reach. It is a reflection. When you look upon an idol, see its stillness, its silence, its freedom from all feeling and desire. Let that stillness become your own. Just as the idol does not react to your projections, let your spirit remain untouched by the world's endless drama.
The truth is, you are boundless. Your consciousness did not begin with your first breath and will not end with your last. It is the eternal, unchanging essence THAT YOU ARE !
