When your mind is completely under control and you turn it inward, devoid of attachment to any desire, towards the image of God within, your individual “self” beholds your true soul-self and it becomes satisfied. That well-trained mind becomes as steady as a candle flame in a windless place. Once your mind becomes fixed in that state, you will have achieved union with God.
There is nothing else to achieve for yourself when you become completely established in that state of union. You will be immune from even the worst possible grief. Nothing can upset you. You will have awakened an intuitive intelligence about reality and you will experience an immeasurable bliss that far transcends any pleasure of the senses. You will have discovered the treasure of all treasures and you will never slip from that state again. This pain-free state is achieved by resolutely practicing meditation and selfless service. Therefore, be determined and practice with a brave heart.
