The Very Source of Life is Within You
The very source of life is not something that lies outside of us. It is not hidden in distant lands or found through the accumulation of wealth, power, or external achievements. The very source of life — that which animates our body, gives rise to our thoughts, and fills our hearts with love — resides within us. This is a profound truth taught by Shivkrupanand Swamiji, the enlightened master of Himalayan Samarpan Dhyanyog. Through his teachings, we are reminded that the greatest treasure is not something we must search for in the world, but something we must awaken to within ourselves.
When we sit in deep silence through the practice of Samarpan Dhyanyog, we begin to experience the subtle presence of this source. This practice does not involve effort or struggle. It is the simplest form of meditation, where the seeker gently offers their self to the higher energy — to the Gurutattva — and allows the inner journey to unfold. Swamiji’s wisdom lies in making the profound accessible, and he guides us to understand that we are not disconnected from the Divine; we are expressions of it.
In daily life, we often seek peace, love, and stability in the ever-changing world. But this outer world can never give us lasting satisfaction. No matter how much we achieve or acquire, the longing within remains. This longing is not a weakness; it is the inner call of the soul to return to its source. According to Swamiji, the very purpose of human life is to turn inward and realise this truth — that the Divine spark, the Paramatma, is within.
To recognize this, we must learn to quiet the noise of the mind and detach from the illusions of ego and identity. The practice of Samarpan Dhyanyog gradually removes the layers that cover our true self. Just like clouds hide the sun, our thoughts, fears, and desires obscure the brilliance of our soul. But the sun never stops shining. In the same way, our inner source — the pure consciousness — never fades. It is always present, waiting to be realised.
As we deepen our practice, we experience a transformation. The sense of separateness begins to dissolve. We no longer feel like isolated beings struggling in a vast world. Instead, we feel connected — to ourselves, to others, and to the entire existence. This is the essence of spiritual awakening. It is not about becoming someone new; it is about remembering who we truly are.
Swamiji’s teachings are filled with love and simplicity. He reminds us again and again that there is nothing to fear, nothing to run after. Just sit. Just be. And in this state of surrender, something beautiful happens — the source within begins to reveal itself. We feel a deep sense of contentment, of being held by something vast yet intimate. Life becomes less about controlling outcomes and more about aligning with the divine flow.
To know that the source of life is within you is to live with unshakable peace. This is not theoretical knowledge; it is a living experience. Through meditation and the grace of a living master like Shivkrupanand Swamiji, we are gifted the path to realise this truth. And once we touch this inner source, even for a moment, we are never the same again. We are home.
