Before we move our identity from ATMAN to BRAHMAN, it is necessary to establish identity with ATMAN. As leading thyself comes before leading others.

We left the previous blog with this question:

But how can we move our identity to BRAHMAN? Are there any Universal rules or guiding principles?

Yes, there are Universal rules called “eternal laws” termed as Sanātana Dharma

If we observe, the “Sun” is one the most prominent source of our life. How can Sun provide so much energy for generations after generations? 

On a spiritual dimension, Sun is a perfect live example of “eternal laws” in action. ( Link to an earlier series blog - Our Relatable Personal God )

All the above sentences summarize - being in “Service” and “Awareness”. This is all about Sanātana Dharma.

Alternatively, if we try to link Suns’ way of life to us, it translates as follows:

 Above three looks familiar in our journey of the previous series of blogs. { Summarised in this version of the blog - Link }

Sanātana Dharma is about the way of living and is not related to any religion, which is the crux of Indian culture.

P.S.: Scientifically, Sun radiates its energy by nuclear fusion. It means it has to lose itself, i.e., mass, to release energy. The most exciting fact is that by the time the Sun becomes a white dwarf, it would only reduce 1% of the Sun’s mass. Thus, just 1% of the Sun’s mass generates energy for 4 billion years.

Think about being in “Self-Inquiry” for our lifetim!!!!
