Dear Feel Love Now Community,
We just shared this video on YouTube, but wanted you to be able to have it on your Substack video player as well, in case you prefer that.
Having it on Substack makes it easy for you to see any other podcasts, videos, articles, or full meditation services that might be available in the Divinity Walking This Earth by clicking here.
The Svetasvatara Upanishad reminds us of a timeless truth: "Peace is not conditioned by the ever-changing environment." This meditation invites you to connect with the unchanging peace within yourself and experience the divine wisdom that emerges from it.
As we turn inward, we realize that no matter how turbulent the external world may be, the peace within remains constant. This is the wisdom of self-realization—anchoring ourselves in divine peace amidst life's changes.
Here’s one of our favorite quotes:
“From the Svetasvatara Upanishad: ‘The Divine is the potency, unfoldment, and perfection of all. Only those humans of wisdom, who have realized the Divine within themselves, live in subjective peace, which is not conditioned by the ever-changing environment.’
“So, again, what we’re invited here to realize is peace is present within ourselves. The environment changes and if we’re in contact with the peace within ourselves, we are in peace always. We are established in peace no matter what is happening in time and space.
“This Upanishad says that this is wisdom. This is divine wisdom—if we’re able to be in contact with that unchanging peace always no matter what is going on in the ever-changing environment. So I’m inviting us to close our eyes briefly and to give yourself direct connection within your own heart. There is unchanging peace within yourself.
“Just invite yourself to notice and to feel directly. How does unchanging peace feel within myself in this moment exactly where I am? Then notice the environment is ever-changing. When I am in contact with this unchanging peace within myself, what wisdom does that naturally unfold in relation to my ever-changing environment.”
If you have heard this teaching before, we invite you — as Swami so often invites us — to hear it as if you are hearing it for the first time. Often we receive these teachings right when we need them.
In loving service,
The Karma Yoga Team at AYM
