Lesson 335

As large as this ether is, so large is that ether within the heart.

Excerpt

As large as this ether is, so large is that ether within the heart. Both heaven and earth are contained within it, both fire and air, both sun and moon, both lightning and stars; and whatever there is of Him here in the world, and whatever is not, all that is contained within it.

✨ To meditate on today

According to the Khândogya-upanishad, there is in your heart a space (the "ether") as vast as the universe, in which heaven, earth, sun and stars are contained: it is the dwelling of the Self, Brahman present within you. Today, sit for a few minutes with your hand on your heart, feel this immense and peaceful space within you, then carry this sense of spaciousness into your encounters.
