Through meditation one discovers one's own light. That light you can call your soul, your self, your God—whatsoever word you choose—or you can remain just silent because it has no name.

Self-knowledge makes me happy.

I'd always believed that a life of quality, enjoyment, and wisdom were my human birthright and would be automatically bestowed upon me as time passed.

Your false self is always that which is passing away. Your true self doesn't go up or down, it's constant - it's a rock.
