Our True Nature is HappinessWe are looking for freedom, eternal life and happiness because we are already these here and now. Our essential or divine nature (Consciousness, Self, Atman) is eternal Existence, freedom, peace and bliss but we have to realize it. Our divine nature is veiled by the Gunas and the impure mind.
Rajas and tamas gunas along with the ego and its innumerable desires and tendencies make us identify with the body and mind and veil our divine Self whose nature is Eternal Existence, Pure Consciousness, Infinite Peace and Bliss. Because of it we live as a body-mind entity separate from life and God, we ignore our true Self which is identical with God and we take the external world as the only reality.
When the mind is freed of all egoic tendencies and from the rajas and tamas gunas we will permanently rest in our natural state of Self-awareness. We will dance with life without being affected anymore by any object or happening. In all circumstances, we will rejoice the peace and bliss of our true Self. We will be an embodiment of peace, love and harmony on earth. All our desires and goals will be fulfilled.
