Identify With The Sky

[Guest guest]

Jaya Guru Datta,

 

Here is today's saying:

 

“Clouds appear and disappear in the sky. But the sky is not affected by the

appearance or disappearance of the clouds. It remains the same. In the

same way, the cloud of thoughts and ideas appear and disappear in the sky of

the true Soul or Atman. But the Soul remains unaffected like the sky. You

are that Soul. When you identify yourself with the cloud and get attached

to it, you feel worried and lost when the cloud passes away. On the other

hand, when you identify yourself with the sky, that is, your soul, then you

realize eternal peace. Clouds of miseries or sufferings may come and go,

but you will not feel disturbed."
