We leave ourself in favor of fleeting experiences, sensations and temporary relationships. 
Upon feeling the loss of ourself in the process of thinking and feeling, a pinch arises in our experience which gets tighter and tighter, calling us back to rest at the heart ❤️ of our being. 
This heart is ever available as the core of existence, the silent presence of universal being. 
The peace that I Am. The gateway to Sat/Chit/Ananda.
