Your nature is the consciousness, in which the whole world wells up, like waves in the sea.

According to the Ashtavakra Gita, the sage Ashtavakra reminds his disciple that his true nature is consciousness, vast as the sea: thoughts, emotions and events rise in it like waves, without ever disturbing its depths. Today, when a strong emotion rises, watch it like a wave that swells and falls back, and rest in the calm ocean that carries it.
