In Vivekchoodamani, author Swami Chinmayananda writes: "This Atman Itself is the supreme Self. This Life in each one of us is the same Life everywhere in the whole universe."
I believe that there exists inside me a beautiful, ideal soul. I believe that for the rest of my life I will be on the path to uncover this soul. Even more beautiful, I think, is the idea that this energy within me runs through all Life, everywhere. This concept is one that I have been dwelling on for quite some time now - the idea that we as human beings are bound by more than just biology.
And so, with this being my Faith, I plan to chronicle my efforts, attempts and ideas, here, towards Attaining Ātman.
Realizing the Atman:
ReplyDeleteI found something so relevant to what we were talking about:
What is real and what is relative has to be clearly distinguished. If one can clearly demarcate both the things, then a person is on the path to understand the power of soul or Atman. The more one is aware that both things are different, he is on his path of reaching the state of self-realization.
That feeling will be a cleansing factor of all the negative faculties one has within himself. With that feeling one can bring in good vibrations in the others and bring them on the positive aspects of life.
