Every one is searching for:

• something to get
• something to become

Other than…

• what we have
• what we are.

From THIS limitation…

we want FREEDOM.

When we have something…

we want

the next thing.

When we achieve a state…

we want the next level.

• The uneducated want education
• The young want adulthood
• The old want self-sufficiency

 We also want permanence:

• permanent home
• permanent job
• everlasting youth

The PERMANENCE

we seek has different names…

Truth…Knowledge.

Vedanta calls this…

Unlimited…immortal…complete…

Also known as Brahman…THE INFINITE

The limited…

finite…mortal…incomplete…

seekers are called JIVAS.

The incomplete jiva…

Seeks its ITS OWN NATURE…

Struggles to ‘BECOME’…

that complete infinite Brahman.

BUT IT CAN NOT…BECAUSE

it already IS BRAHMAN.

How so?

LIKE HEATED water cannot stay hot.

It returns to its own cool nature.

LIKE in sleep…

the mind to return

to its essential nature.

We want to be rid of…

Limitations…sorrow…agitation

as they are not our essential nature.

YOGA is the discovery that…

on merging with the INFINITE…

this seeming limited jiva is…

That UNLIMITED BRAHMAN!
