' The Immortal Soul '...

The masters of India taught that behind this mortal body lies an immortal soul which sustains everything.. When you realize the soul,, you will be able to say:, "I am neither breath,, nor water,, nor fire.. I am neither body nor bone nor flesh.. I have no mind and no feelings.. I am the one behind the stars,, breath,, intelligence and feelings.. I am the life of all and everything,, I am the laughter on happy faces,, the smile on flowers and joy in every soul,, I am the wisdom of all,, I am the force that is present in everything.. I am the one from where everything in the universe originates from... . It's a joyful experience,, magnificent light and the whole universe seems like a spacious bed of happiness and kindness.. You are behind everything,, you see that only the Spirit in the cosmos with His eternal-new joy incarnated Himself in the infinite body of Nature. .........................Paramahansa Yogananda
