EMPIRE OF THE SOUL<br />

Whatever we do reacts upon us. If we do good, we shall have happiness<br />

and if evil, unhappiness. Within you is <strong>the</strong> real happiness, within<br />

you is <strong>the</strong> limitless ocean <strong>of</strong> divine nectar. Seek it within you, feel it<br />

. . . It is here, <strong>the</strong> self: it is not <strong>the</strong> body, <strong>the</strong> mind, <strong>the</strong> intellect, <strong>the</strong><br />

brain; it is not <strong>the</strong> desire or <strong>the</strong> desiring. It is not <strong>the</strong> object <strong>of</strong> desire.<br />

Above all <strong>the</strong>se, you are. All <strong>the</strong>se are simply manifestations. You<br />

appear as <strong>the</strong> smiling flower, as <strong>the</strong> twinkling stars. What is <strong>the</strong>re in<br />

<strong>the</strong> world which can make you desire anything? It is <strong>the</strong> heart that<br />

reaches <strong>the</strong> goal. Follow <strong>the</strong> heart. A pure heart seeks beyond <strong>the</strong><br />

intellect. It gets inspired.<br />

– From a letter by Sathya Sai Baba<br />
