Our Real Home

“In this body, in this town of spirit, there is a little house shaped like a lotus, and in that house there is a little space. One should know what is there. What is there? Why is it so important? There is as much in that little space within the heart as there is in the whole world outside. Heaven, earth, wind, sun, moon, lightening, stars; whatever is and whatever is not, everything is there. If everything is in our body, every being, every desire, what remains when old age comes, when decay comes, when the body fails? What lies in that space does not decay when the body decays, nor does it fail when the body fails. That space is the home of the spirit.”

- Chandogya Upanishad
