True peace, self-knowledge and life's purpose can be discovered by turning inward and recognising the eternal divine light within the human heart.

In every heart, there is a point of light shining. It is the light divine. You can see it only when you turn within. Rishis of ancient India have described the human heart as a cave; deep inside is this light that shines bright. It is a point of light within. This light is beautiful to behold.

Man is ever in search of inner peace. He is in search of this light. He climbs mountains, he trudges over deserts, he travels to the poles to catch a glimpse of Northern or Southern lights; but all that is in vain. What he needs to do is turn within. Enter the cave, the dark deep cave of your heart, and behold! The bright point of light, magical, eternal and overwhelming, fills you with its radiance.

You may commit many sins; you may live a life that is evil and dehumanising. All that is outside the range of light. The dark evil doings are on the surface of life. All this evil can never, ever extinguish this light, for it is eternal.


The day this light pierces the darkness of the heart and glows with its unique inner radiance, you will receive answers to your many questions. Once you have its vision, you will know your true identity. You will know the reason why you are here. You will know the purpose of your life. You will clearly see the goal and the path you must walk to attain it.
