Sat - Chit - Ananda
The human life is a precious instrument for spiritual practice. This body is a temporary vehicle for the soul, which carries its karma like a backpack. Most beings are trapped in cycles of unhappiness and desire, mistaking the non-reality of the material world for truth. True happiness is found not in external comforts but in reducing needs and realizing the inner Self. The soul, or Ātmā, is eternal consciousness and bliss, beyond all gender and form. This human birth offers the rare chance for liberation from endless rebirth. Do not waste this opportunity in attachment to temporary relationships and possessions. Focus on the spiritual path through renunciation and devotion, seeking the shelter of the true guide.
"Enter the kingdom of the Lord through the gate of sacrifice."
"God gave you this body to make this spiritual sādhanā, not only creating your things, what you want in this world."
