At this depth of our being there exists no separate identity or difference\u2014all are One. Thus, deep with\u00adin our soul we are identical with God now and forever. These two divine perfections are not as\u00ad\u00adpects of the evolving soul, but the nucleus of the soul which does not change or evolve. From an absolute perspective, our soul is already in nondual union with God, but to be realized to be known. We are That. We do not become That. Deep within this physical body, with its turbulent emotions and getting-educated mind, is pure perfection identical to \u015aiva\u2019s own perfections of Par\u0101\u015bakti and Para\u015biva. In this sacred mystery we find the paradoxes of oneness and twoness, of being and becoming, of created and uncreated existence subtly delineated. Yea, in the depth of our being, we are as He is. The Vedas explain, \u201cThe one control\u00adler, the inner Self of all things, who makes His one form manifold, to the wise who perceive Him as abiding in the soul, to them is eternal bliss\u2014to no others.\u201d Aum Nama\u1e25 \u015aiv\u0101ya.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Is Our Soul Identical with \u015aiva? \u015aLOKA 28The essence of our soul, which was never created, is immanent love and transcendent reality and is identical and eternally one with God \u015aiva.
