Turning On the Self Within

Turning On the Self Within

At the present moment the entire world population is deluded by an external conception of the self, considering themselves to be their bodies. Nothing could be further from the truth. The real fact is that this body, like a garment, is simply a covering of the actual self that resides within. Therefore if people want genuine lasting happiness, which is never deterred or diminished by any situation no matter how seemingly unfortunate, they simply have to revive their original identity or consciousness, that they are eternal spiritual beings qualitatively one with the Supreme Person, the source of all existence. This requires not only theoretical understanding but also practical realization by engaging oneself fully in the loving devotional service of the Supreme Transcendence, Lord Sri Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
