Chasing the shadow of the real-self

Roshan Jainath | Author

In this world we are chasing the shadow of our real self. This takes too much energy. Instead we have to find the real self.

A divine energy probably sustains us, whether or not we know it. Our souls are possibly a particle of this energy and when this connection is broken it is then that we die and the soul returns to its source or as some believe to  another body.

The connection between the soul and the source is intricately linked to what Socrates articulated when he wrote ‘know thyself’  

As I mourn a loss of a younger brother and of so many friends to a pandemic, I understand that  it is normal to shed tears that fulleth a dam.

Yet if I understand my source then I will mourn with balance and dignity. If I fail to understand my royal lineage to   the divine source then I will be broken and it may take months or even years to recover.

Life is full of trials and tribulations. So the phrase “Know thyself” was not actually invented by Socrates. It is a motto inscribed on the front piece of the Temple of Apollo (Delphi). And it remains  my view that the utterance itself speaks to the need for man to seek his source. 

Yet we are untrained to look within to  inwardly search the souls  connection to its source. Our mind is instead trained to divert our attention outside as we analyse information from hidden truths to pursue success which is transient.

I suspect that we are the hidden truth. So well hidden that even we do not know it. The mind and all its outward senses persuade us to look for happiness in a material domain. If this is true then we are actually spiritual beings having a human experience, longing for our true home hence a constant void even if we reach our goals.

In Corinthians 6:19-20  he asks, “Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? So glorify  God in your body.” 

Sadguru, the most well viewed  exponent of spiritual wisdoms says :
‘Death is a taboo in most societies in the world. But what if we have got this completely wrong? What if death was not the catastrophe it is made out to be but an essential aspect of life, rife with spiritual possibilities for transcendence? ..

And finally my favourite spiritual sufi master,Rumi,  who says, “All is known in the sacredness of silence within.”

I bow in reverence to my true self which connects me to my Father.

  1. Hey Guys,

    Warning: From February 2024, all existing email autoresponders will become obsolete!

    In fact, if you want to send marketing emails, promotional emails, or any other sort of emails starting in February 2024, you’ll need to comply with Gmail’s and Yahoo’s draconic new directives.

    They require regular marketers like you and I to setup complex code on sending domains… and existing autoresponders like Aweber and GetResponse are not helping: they’re requesting you do all the work, and their training is filled with complex instructions and flowcharts…

    How would you like to send unlimited emails at the push of a button all with done-for-you DMARC, DKIM, SPF, custom IPs and dedicated SMTP sending servers?

    What I mean by all of that tech talk above, is that with ProfitMarc, we give you pre-set, pre-configured, DONE-FOR-YOU email sending addresses you can just load up and mail straight away.

    We don’t even have any “setup tutorials” like other autoresponders either, because guess what: we already did all the setup for you!

    All of our built-in sending addresses and servers are already pre-warmed with Gmail and Yahoo and they’re loving us: 99% inbox rate is the average!

  4. naturally like your web site however you need to take a look at the spelling on several of your posts. A number of them are rife with spelling problems and I find it very bothersome to tell the truth on the other hand I will surely come again again.
