On the morning before my sixteenth birthday my family was exited for the special trip we had planned. We packed the car, double checked everything to make sure we didn’t leave anything behind, and headed off to the airport. We boarded the plane, just in time, to Ireland. The flight was great, since we were in first class. After landing we rented a car and drove to our hotel, where we rested for the plans we had the next day. In the morning, my mom thought it would be great to begin the day with a

In doing so, they weren’t making right what was once wrong, but instead they were returning the same evil that had been inflicted upon them. Revenge isn’t good or sweet when it is in fact evil continuing

tied to non-permanence. In cases of this tie to an erratic, unpredictable reality, we are undercut by the flux of the world, and ultimately made vulnerable by this change, and we cannot experience ultimate fulfillment. To break this free from this cycle of change, we must realize the self as Brahman. It is through this realization that we can achieve unification with the ultimate reality and we can reach fulfillment. Brahman is the imperishable Self. The nature of Brahman lies within us and within
