Most people tend to seek material items and comfort believing that to be the source of joy; however, the true satisfaction (tripti) arises from an inner state of fulfillment, completely independent of the outside world. This knowledge of true Self shines like a lamp (deepa) which removes the darkness of ignorance and guides us to Self-realization.   Book Please follow the link below to purchase book, https://chinmayapublications.com/tripti-deepa-panchadasi-chapter-7
