Our True Self… is the magnanimous mountain hiding in us; eternally peaceful & brilliantly majestic.

It stays hidden under the clouds of our personality, our habits, likes-dislikes, situations, circumstances, etc.

To know it, we must bring it out.

For one simple reason:

Because that’s what we are doing in any case through every action of our life, although ignorantly.

Search for our true self is the purpose of our life.

Part 3

To explain this I present a case from my garden:There is a baby banyan growing in there…

Sadly, its stuck in a drumstick tree, as you can see.

Yet this baby has done something amazing…

@ 1st through self-effort & then...by tapping into the pool of cosmic energy.

So, how we search for our true self:

In practical terms : 3 steps :

1. By understanding the true purpose of our life.

2. By selecting a method of self-realization for daily practice.

3. By improving the quality of our karma through constant self-effort.

… As being displayed by the baby banyan.
