The Pathway from Ourself to Ourself

In this meditation we ask what remains of ourself when everything that can be removed from us has been removed. Only that qualifies as ourself. As we gradually establish ourself in our true nature, our inherent peace and happiness begins to pervade our experience from the inside. First we have a glimpse of our true nature, then we establish ourself in our true nature, then we lead a life that is consistent with the qualities inherent in ourself.
