The soul is like a flame protected from the wind. It remains steady, silent, and peaceful in the heart of all beings.
Shvetashvatara Upanishad
2.12
Meaning:
The core of your existence is already at peace. The disturbances you feel are only on the surface of your life. Deep inside, there is a steady flame of awareness that never flickers.

Daily Application

During a stressful moment, visualize a small, steady flame in the center of your chest. No matter how loud the world is, that flame is perfectly still. Identify with that stillness to restore your calm.
