OVERCOME SORROW

Long hast thou been bound by the noose of “I am the body.” Feel now: “I am the Sat-Chit-Ananda Atman”, and thus cut the noose (by this sword of wisdom) and roam about happily.

There should not exist the idea of separateness in the heart. The moment the conceptions of “Mine”, “I”, “you” or “I did it” arise in one, the nail of sorrow is hammered in him. Get yourself established in the idea of “Soham” or “I am He”. Through the identification with the Atman, you will be able to land safely on the other beautiful shore of fearlessness and immortality.

Merely imagining ourselves to be yogis is not enough. Be asadhaka. Be a real sadhaka. Let the day and all its activities be infilled with the spirit of sadhana. 'Whatsoever work I do, O Lord, I offer unto Thee as worship'

Swami Chidananda.
