The Self, our Being, is awareness.

Thoughts and feelings comes and goes, but awareness remains constant always. 

The attributes of Self or Awareness is peace, bliss and contentment.

Greatest mystery is that we get entangled in our thoughts and emotions in the pursuit of pleasure forgetting the Self, and inadvertently create a nightmarish cocoon of psychological suffering for ourselves.

It is like begging for scraps and pennies while sitting on a treasure chest and ignorant of the same due to amnesia.

Some people arrive at the knowledge of the Self intuitively, while others come to the same through spiritual philosophies and authentic religious methodologies.

Some unfortunates however never learn of their own Self during their lifetimes though it is the closest to them.
