We are all given a name at birth, and this becomes our identity for the rest of our lives. This name, however, identifies our body while our true identity is our soul. Our soul is a part of the Divine and is full of the love, Light and bliss of God. We can experience this inner bliss and Light through meditation at the single eye, the gateway to inner spiritual regions.At present, we live in duality owing to the many divisions we have created for ourselves, which is a result of our identification with our body and our desire to be different and better than others. Our goal is to be one with God and to realise our unity with Him and His Creation. We need to see others as our own and as members of God’s family. We also need to spend time in selfless service so that others can benefit from what the Lord has given us and their difficulties are alleviated.Also, most of us think too highly of ourselves and are proud of our knowledge, our worldly achievements and possessions, and our own body. No matter how high we think we have risen, we will all return to dust at the end of this lifetime. When we depart from the world, none of our worldly possessions will accompany us. Yet, we have limitless divine treasures within us and we can access them when we still our mind and body in meditation.
We need to focus on achieving God-realisation. This goal is the crown jewel of our existence, and no material treasure or worldly accomplishment can rival it.
