Like salmon don’t change when they move from freshwater to salty, the fort within us where Brahman resides does not change from one life to another for those who have not discovered the self yet. What they desire before they die is what they ensure, and by securing it, they rejoice. Stay positive!

One of the fundamental teachings of the Upanishads (which came before the Bhagavad Gita) is that one should control or suppress the senses to realize the higher self within us. In this verse from the Gita, Krishna uses visualization to explain how easy it is to be distracted.

I believe it's possible to suppress our senses and realize our higher self because occasionally, when I have the Tv on, and I am focusing on another task, there are periods where I don't register the sounds coming from the Tv. The sounds don’t change—my focus does. Then if focus can stifle the sound from reaching the ears, all the other senses should be able to be suppressed as well.

#upanishad, 5, 1. A translation is found in Deussen’s Sechzig Upanishads des #Veda, p. 489.” Good to know the next time you are in a German library
