We
have
failed
to
recognize
our
deeper
divine
character
.
We
don
’
t
realize
that
,
somewhere
within
us
all
,
there
does
exist
a
supreme
Self
who
is
eternally
at
peace
.
That
supreme
Self
is
our
true
identity
,
universal
and
divine
.
Before
you
realize
this
truth
,
say
the
Yogis
,
you
will
always
be
in
despair
,
a
notion
nicely
expressed
in
this
exasperated
line
from
the
Greek
stoic
philosopher
Epictetus
:
"
You
bear
God
within
you
,
poor
wretch
,
and
know
it
not
.
"
Yoga
is
the
effort
to
experience
one
’
s
divinity
personally
and
then
to
hold
on
to
that
experience
forever
.
Yoga
is
about
self
-
mastery
and
the
dedicated
effort
to
haul
your
attention
away
from
your
endless
brooding
over
the
past
and
your
nonstop
worrying
about
the
future
so
that
you
can
seek
,
instead
,
a
place
of
eternal
presence
from
which
you
may
regard
yourself
and
your
surroundings
with
poise
.
Only
from
that
point
of
even
-
mindedness
will
the
true
nature
of
the
world
(
and
yourself
)
be
revealed
to
you
.
True
Yogis
,
from
their
seat
of
equipoise
,
see
all
this
world
as
an
equal
manifestation
of
God
’
s
creative
energy
-
men
,
women
,
children
,
turnips
,
bedbugs
,
coral
:
it
’
s
all
God
in
disguise
.
But
the
Yogis
believe
a
human
life
is
a
very
special
opportunity
,
because
only
in
a
human
form
and
only
with
a
human
mind
can
God
-
realization
ever
occur
.
The
turnips
,
the
bedbugs
,
the
coral
-
they
never
get
a
chance
to
find
out
who
they
really
are
.
But
we
do
have
that
chance
.
"
Our
whole
business
therefore
in
this
life
,
"
wrote
Saint
Augustine
,
rather
Yogically
,
"
is
to
restore
to
health
the
eye
of
the
heart
whereby
God
may
be
seen
.
"
Like
all
great
philosophical
ideas
,
this
one
is
simple
to
understand
but
virtually
impossible
to
imbibe
.
OK
-
so
we
are
all
one
,
and
divinity
abides
within
us
all
equally
.
No
problem
.
Understood
.
But
now
try
living
from
that
place
.
Try
putting
that
understanding
into
practice
twenty
-
four
hours
a
day
.
It
’
s
not
so
easy
.
Which
is
why
in
India
it
is
considered
a
given
that
you
need
a
teacher
for
your
Yoga
.
Unless
you
were
born
one
of
those
rare
shimmering
saints
who
come
into
life
already
fully
actualized
,
you
’
re
going
to
need
some
guidance
along
your
journey
toward
enlightenment
.
If
you
’
re
lucky
enough
,
you
will
find
a
living
Guru
.
This
is
what
pilgrims
have
been
coming
to
India
to
seek
for
ages
.
Alexander
the
Great
sent
an
ambassador
to
India
in
the
fourth
century
BC
,
with
a
request
to
find
one
of
these
famous
Yogis
and
return
with
him
to
court
.
(
The
ambassador
did
report
finding
a
Yogi
,
but
couldn
’
t
convince
the
gentleman
to
travel
.
)
In
the
first
century
AD
,
Apollonius
of
Tyrana
,
another
Greek
ambassador
,
wrote
of
his
journey
through
India
:
"
I
saw
Indian
Brahmans
living
upon
the
earth
and
yet
not
on
it
,
and
fortified
without
fortifications
,
and
possessing
nothing
,
yet
having
the
richness
of
all
men
.
"
Gandhi
himself
always
wanted
to
study
with
a
Guru
,
but
never
,
to
his
regret
,
had
the
time
or
opportunity
to
find
one
.
"
I
think
there
is
a
great
deal
of
truth
,
"
he
wrote
,
"
in
the
doctrine
that
true
knowledge
is
impossible
without
a
Guru
.
"
A
great
Yogi
is
anyone
who
has
achieved
the
permanent
state
of
enlightened
bliss
.
A
Guru
is
a
great
Yogi
who
can
actually
pass
that
state
on
to
others
.
The
word
Guru
is
composed
of
two
Sanskrit
syllables
.
The
first
means
"
darkness
,
"
the
second
means
"
light
.
"
Out
of
the
darkness
and
into
the
light
.
What
passes
from
the
master
into
the
disciple
is
something
called
mantravirya
:
"
The
potency
of
the
enlightened
consciousness
.
"
You
come
to
your
Guru
,
then
,
not
only
to
receive
lessons
,
as
from
any
teacher
,
but
to
actually
receive
the
Guru
’
s
state
of
grace
.
Such
transfers
of
grace
can
occur
in
even
the
most
fleeting
of
encounters
with
a
great
being
.
I
once
went
to
see
the
great
Vietnamese
monk
,
poet
and
peacemaker
Thich
Nhat
Hanh
speak
in
New
York
.
It
was
a
characteristically
hectic
weeknight
in
the
city
,
and
as
the
crowd
pushed
and
shoved
its
way
into
the
auditorium
,
the
very
air
in
the
place
was
whisked
into
a
nerve
-
racking
urgency
of
everyone
’
s
collective
stress
.
Then
the
monk
came
on
stage
.
He
sat
in
stillness
for
a
good
while
before
he
began
to
speak
,
and
the
audience
-
you
could
feel
it
happening
,
one
row
of
high
-
strung
New
Yorkers
at
a
time
-
became
colonized
by
his
stillness
.
Soon
,
there
was
not
a
flutter
in
the
place
.
In
the
space
of
maybe
ten
minutes
,
this
small
Vietnamese
man
had
drawn
every
single
one
of
us
into
his
silence
.
Or
maybe
it
’
s
more
accurate
to
say
that
he
drew
us
each
into
our
own
silence
,
into
that
peace
which
we
each
inherently
possessed
,
but
had
not
yet
discovered
or
claimed
.
His
ability
to
bring
forth
this
state
in
all
of
us
,
merely
by
his
presence
in
the
room
-
this
is
divine
power
.
And
this
is
why
you
come
to
a
Guru
:
with
the
hope
that
the
merits
of
your
master
will
reveal
to
you
your
own
hidden
greatness
.
The
classical
Indian
sages
wrote
that
there
are
three
factors
which
indicate
whether
a
soul
has
been
blessed
with
the
highest
and
most
auspicious
luck
in
the
universe
:
1
.
To
have
been
born
a
human
being
,
capable
of
conscious
inquiry
.
