Brahman Brings Prosperity and Bliss

When one knows the Brahman, ignorance is banished and one is freed from the bondage of life and death. Unity with the Brahman brings prosperity and bliss. Living beings, inanimate objects and the supreme godhead may seem to be three distinct entities. But in reality, all three are in Brahman. This is the supreme knowledge. When a fire is lit with the help of wood, the true nature of the fire is lit with the help of wood; the true nature of the fire cannot be seen. Yet, the fire can be created by rubbing two pieces of wood together. Like the fire in the wood, the Brahman is in the human body and can be realized.  

The Brahman is everywhere and can be realized through truth and meditation. He who realizes the Brahman, realizes him in one’s own Atman.
