We identify ourselves with different elements of our being and think that we are that. We identify with our physical body and say we are that. Sometimes we identify with a desire and become that. Sometimes we identify with some thought and believe that we are that. But our true self, the soul is hidden behind these layers that we encounter and identify with. We are deceived by outer happenings and live like a slave. We need to know all the levels of consciousness and bring them under the influence of psychic to become a completely unified being. We have to be truthful in our feeling, in our thought, in our action and in our aspiration. We need to purify ourselves, save the given energy, try to do every small and big thing for the Divine and that is the way for us. India was never been a land of pessimism or fatalism. India has understood the role of destiny and succeeded to change it out with the strength of soul. These are some of the key ideas in this talk that touches upon the blossoming of our personality from within outward.
