You are not Body but Pure Atman

You are not Body but Pure Atman:

Life is short and time is fleeting, that tomorrow will never come again. What you have in hand is today. Tomorrow this today will become yesterday. So arise, awake and with a firm will seek to find your own truth. Purify your karmas. You are sure to attain salvation if you practice diligently with a firm decision. Beauty is only skin-deep. The body is a bag of skin with nine openings. Inside that pretty bag you will find bones, blood, urine, stool, phlegm, nerves, muscles etc, which are nauseating & horrible. The real beauty exists not in body but in Atman. You are not body but pure Atman temporarily held up in the body. All relationships are just beautiful on the surface, deep down they are a sort of bondage. One is known as a Hindu, Christian or Muslim by chance or by choice. In the same way, one is identified as an Indian, Chinese or Westerner. By truth, you belong to the whole and the whole belongs to you. You are Universal, the unborn, imperishable, eternal Atman. Death is only for the body not for YOU. When Atman enters into a body it is born, and when it departs from it, we say it is no more. Aiming at the unknown invisible, we are in the journey to know the intangible, incomprehensive truth, which cannot be known by the sense organs. That is real knowledge. Unless one understands death, he will be unable to understand life. Life is never dead and it continues even after usual death in some other unknown plane for further perfection.
“Om Sahana vavathu, sahanou bhunakthu saha veeryam kara vavahai.
Thejaswina adheethamastu Maa vidhusha vahai.Om Shanti, shanty, shantihi”
Meaning:
Let us exist together, let us work together, let us share the results of our work together, let noble thoughts come from all over the world and let us not have hatred towards anyone.

“Sarve bhavanthu sukhinaha, sarve santhu niramayaha
Sarve bhadraani pasyanthu maa kaschit dukhabaagbhaveth”.

Meaning:
May all be happy, all be free from misery and all possess good things in life. Let no one suffer in this world.
Bhaskaran Vellakkad
