IN BODY-CONSCIOUSNESS VS. SOUL-CONSCIOUSNESS!

In Body-Consciousness

I’m in bondage

I have many questions and few answers

I’m afraid of dying (losing the body)

I have no control over the sense organs

I become bored and get depressed easily

The wings of the soul are clipped

The intellect is dull

I’m limited to the perception of this world.

I see a distorted past and have no clear aim for

the future.

I’m disturbed by feelings of attraction and lust for

bodies.

I give sorrow, like a thorn hurting everyone.

I see everyone relative to my identity, my life

revolving around ‘me’ …. This is arrogance.

I am tense and tired.

In Soul-Consciousness

There are no bondages; I am free.

I understand everything that I do.

I know I’m eternal and there is no fear of death.

I’m able to practise self-control.

I understand situations and overcome them easily.

I’m able to maintain enthusiasm.

I have wings of thought to fly beyond the body.

The intellect is sharp.

I can travel to the other regions beyond this world.

The past, present and future of my part are seen

clearly.

I’m attracted by the qualities of the Supreme Soul

only.

I spread the fragrance of virtues like a flower.

I respect each LIVING BEING and am related to them

with humility.

I’m alert and relaxed.
