Guest guest Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 The effulgence of the Divine Self is obscured by egoism or vanity. Therefore, when egoism or vanity (ahamkaara) is destroyed, all troubles end, all discontents vanish and Bliss is attained. As the Sun is obscured by mist, the feeling of Ahamkaara hides eternal bliss. Even if the eyes are open, a piece of cloth or cardboard can prevent vision from functioning effectively and usefully. So too, selfishness prevents a human being from seeing God, who is nearer to Him than anyone or anything. To bring the teachings of the Scriptures into one's actual life, you must scotch the feeling "I know" and open your eyes to the Real Essence and introspect on it. Then, you can attain bliss without fail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
