Suppose you write a letter to somebody - whatever be the contents of
the letter, if it is put in an envelope and post it, whom will it
reach? It will not be given to anyone and will not come back
to the person who wrote it too. Instead, if, on the cover,
the address of the person who wrote it and to whom it must go are
both written, then it will not only reach the receiver, but one can
even predict when it will reach its destination. So
too, what are you doing with your letter - your life? You are
ignoring this important question, and do not have time to think
about it. You must first know your own full address - Who are
you? You are the Atman. From where did you come?
From the Supreme Self. Where are you going? To the
Supreme Self. How long will you be here? Until you merge
with the Supreme Self. Knowing this truth, engage
yourself in acts that will help you enjoy the bliss of the Supreme,
Self Same Atma.
