The world constantly pushes labels onto us. “You are so-and-so.”
It started in school with the teacher calling attendance.
Is that who I am? A name? Or am I what I do?
Am I a doctor or a lawyer or a captain?
A graduate of this or that school?

On one hand, I have a body with blood, cells, nerves, brain, eyes—all of that.
Then, distinctly inside of me, there is something that is allowing me to exist.
The feeling that it brings is not only the feeling of being alive,
but the feeling of being in peace.
It brings the feeling of joy, of tranquility.
There is something that stays untouched by everything that happens around me.
I get affected by good days and bad days;
the thing that is keeping me alive is apart from all of that.
This is who I am.
-Prem Rawat
