To know yourself as the Being underneath the thinker, the stillness underneath the mental noise, the love and joy underneath the pain, is freedom, salvation, enlightenment.

What's the meaning of this quote?

Quote Meaning: This quote speaks to the profound understanding of one's innermost nature, beyond the incessant chatter of our minds. It urges us to explore our true selves, beneath the layers of thoughts, emotions, and beliefs that often cloud our perception of who we really are. By cultivating mindfulness and practicing stillness, we can connect with our core essence - a state of pure consciousness that exists beyond the limitations of thought and emotion. This realization of our authentic selves leads to a sense of inner freedom, peace, and clarity, as we no longer identify with the transient and often chaotic fluctuations of our minds. Instead, we come to understand ourselves as the boundless, unchanging presence that underlies all experiences, liberating us from the suffering that arises from a limited and fragmented sense of self.
