" Satyam, Shivam, Sundaram."

In ancient India, they said, " Satyam, Shivam, Sundaram." "Satyam" is truth. When you feel the truth strongly, energy arises. Only when a lie confronts you, does truth come up strongly. When you see that everything is changing, something inside you stands up and says, "No ! I am not changing." That force within you is truth. It's always there. "Shivam" is infinity. Shivam is that, which is comforting. Comfort comes from the consciousness and is experienced by the consciousness. When the consciousness relaxes itself to a degree, it is called comfort. If you have worked all day, until you are very tired, and you lie down in bed and take a deep breath, then there is a sense of your whole consciousness expanding in some manner. One's perception and expression of life change in the spiritual dimension. The small " I" and " mine" disappear. You see life as a phenomenon - you are here, and you are part of the river, the trees, the mountains and the whole of nature. Such soothing comfort comes with this knowledge ! "Sundaram" is beauty. God is ever youthful, ever young. To me, God is very naughty ! God loves fun ! That is why He created so much fun around, including all the worry and everything else; the whole rat-race that goes on, is also fun. Life is fun ! Recognizing beauty, loving beauty, surrendering to beauty .... Life can never be dull. As you move into spiritual dimension of your life, you come to know your true nature - Satyam, Shivam, Sundaram. *Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar Ji*
