" My real pleasure was never in earthly things-in husband, wife,

children, and other things. For I am like the infinite blue sky:

clouds of many colors pass over it and play for a second; they move

off, and there is the same unchangeable blue. Happiness and misery,

good and evil, may envelop me for a moment, veiling the Self; but I

am still there. They pass away because they are changeable. I shine,

because I am unchangeable. If misery comes, I know it is finite,

therefore it must die. If evil comes, I know it is finite, it must

go. I alone am infinite and untouched by anything. For I am the

Infinite, that Eternal, Changeless Self. " -So sings one of our poets.
