THE ESSENTIAL NATURE OF MAN
Swami Sivananda
Bliss is the essential nature of man. The central fact of man's being is his inherent divinity. Man's essential nature is divine, the awareness of which he has lost because of his animal propensities and the veil of ignorance. Man, in his ignorance, identifies himself with the body, mind, Prana, and the senses. Transcending these, he becomes one with Brahman or the Absolute who is pure bliss. Brahman or the Absolute is the fullest reality, the completest consciousness. That beyond which there is nothing, that which isthe innermost Self of all is Atman or Brahman. The Atman is the common Consciousness in all beings. A thief, a prostitute, a scavenger, a king, a rogue, a saint, a dog, a cat, a rat – all have the same common Atman. There is apparent, fictitious difference in bodies and minds only. There are differences in colours and opinions. But, the Atman is the same in all..
Love all. Be pure. Serve all with Atma Bhava. Have perfect control over your senses. Rely on your own self. Aspire ceaselessly for the Grace of God.
- Swami Sivananda.

In the Gita it says: “A person is what he believes in.” And the key to this process of
successfully assimilating from whatever you learn and becoming what you assimilate is in
believing in what you want to become. Have firm and deep belief: “I believe, and I know I will be
what I believe. I will become what I believe because that is the truth. And, if I do believe, it will
certainly transform me into what I wish to become and believe in.”
Swami Chidananda.
