“There was a time I looked in the mirror and saw a stranger. I had walked through the fire of alcohol addiction. I had sat in the silence of depression. I had tasted the sharp loneliness that hides behind a smile. And yet — I did not give up. We endure pain — and that pain becomes our teacher.

If you’re walking through something heavy, I hope this reminds you: You are not broken. You are becoming. And your story isn’t over.”

Yet theism is also present in many places in the Upanishads, a recognition of One God or Isvara as the creator, preserver and destroyer of the universe and the ability to unite with Him (or Her) through meditation. The Upanishads also say Ishavasyam Idam Sarvam, “All this universe is pervaded by the Lord”

“Selbsterkenntnis ist nichts anderes als das Verstehen, dass jede Erfahrung nichts anderes ist als das sich selbst liebende Selbst […] Die Freude ist immerwährend, weil du ewig bist und deine Natur Glückseligkeit ist.”
