Ultimately what we all seek is 'union', whether with ourselves, the world around us, or with some higher power or deeper state. However to uncover this state of union and to integrate it into ourselves as living beings, we must take hold of our mind and remove the clutter which obscures clarity. As our minds become calmer we become reconnected to our essential state of being, only then can we see who we really are, and really understand our place in this world.
