Thought for the day
We can attain Mukthi here itself right now!


From the book Ananda Sutra


We think that ananda comes from outside. We think that ananda comes from husband, wife, children, family, money, house, car, status, and all. We run after them. However this Ananda only lasts for a few days, it is not permanent.
 God is unseen. However, we can see the creation. Therefore, we feel that we get ananda from whatever we can see in front of our eyes. This is not so. We can only obtain ananda from inside. God is inside. This ananda is reflected outside in whatever we see. We think that Ananda comes from those things and so we suffer in the cycle of birth and death. Really, ananda is inside. That is the Atma Ananda. Atma is verily god, the indweller. God is imperishable and immortal, yet these worldly objects are perishable. Therefore, search for God inside. Only then, you will find the real Ananda that is within each of us.
 I desire God’s physically nearness. I am not satisfied with any other Ananda. I thought I would only get ananda being in God’s physical proximity. Why did I have these different feelings? It is because I want to create a new world. This desire for God’s nearness is giving new creation.
