The Foundation Beneath It All · Resting on Something Secure

ब्रह्मणो हि प्रतिष्ठाहममृतस्याव्ययस्य च । शाश्वतस्य च धर्मस्य सुखस्यैकान्तिकस्य च ॥

brahmaṇo hi pratiṣṭhāham amṛtasyāvyayasya ca śāśvatasya ca dharmasya sukhasyaikāntikasya ca

Meaning

"I am the foundation of the formless Brahman, of immortality, of eternal dharma, and of unending bliss."

Explanation

Beneath every teaching about liberation, dharma, and bliss lies one steady source holding it all up. Whatever spiritual ground you're standing on, know that it's resting on something even more foundational and secure.

Today's Life Lesson

Whatever ground you're standing on today, trust that it rests on something deeper and more secure than you can see.
