Our True Self is like the empty, spacious, luminous Blue Sky. The clouds arise, exist, and dissolve in the vast, infinite sky. The clouds, whether powerful or minimal, do not change the endless expansiveness of the sky.
Our thoughts, similarly, do not define us. The mental activities arise, persist, and recede within the field of consciousness that is our inherent Self. We are not our thoughts. We are the peaceful, balanced, tranquil awareness beyond the mental activities, that can witness the busyness of thinking. There is joy, ease and serenity within; we can remind ourselves of it, and bring ourselves to that place within. From there, our potential is unlimited.
