Contemplating and meditating on the ‘real-self’ accelerates this process of self-development and makes Liberation possible.
~ Arthava Veda
Saraswati... goddess of secular and Divine Knowledge, the knowledge that leads to Liberation (moksha).
As yogis, we are training ourselves to be observers, observing the Self.
But what is the Self? It is NOT our thoughts, our bodies, our feelings, although they are all part of us.
It is the Awareness that is ABLE to Observe… the Peace that is our true Nature.
You can’t find it by talking, by writing, by constantly externalizing because it busies the Mind, disconnecting us further, from our Hearts and Truth. This is the doing that we do too much of.
You find it by going inward, by letting go, over and over and again, until there is nothing left to let go of.
Then you are Free…
