these days i have been primarily concerned with what the self is, and what its importance should be, if any. the self, the atman, is our own individual spark of the divine contained within us.
"The final stage of moksha (liberation) is the understanding that one's atman is, in fact, Brahman" (source).
i've been thinking a lot about what it means to be on "god's side," because isn't that the same thing as accepting that "god is on your side"?
"god" is just one of the infinitude of words we have created for the One, for Brahman - the great and all-encompassing primeval love which contains/consists of the very fabric of existence.
if it's on our side, then we should try to be on its side too, no?
(oh so typical of a human to think in such dualistic terms)
