The document discusses finding one's true self. It explains that the true self is like a majestic mountain hidden within by one's personality and habits. It suggests searching for the true self is the purpose of life. To find it, one must make self-effort and tap into cosmic energy, just as a baby banyan plant grew its roots down from a tree it was stuck in to reach the soil. In practical terms, one can find their true self by understanding life's true purpose, selecting a daily practice of self-realization, and improving one's karma through constant self-effort.

Our True Self…
is the magnanimous
mountain hiding in us;
eternally peaceful &
brilliantly majestic.
It stays hidden under the
clouds of our personality, our
habits, likes-dislikes, situations,
circumstances, etc.
To know it, we must bring it out.

For one simple reason:
Because that’s what we are doing in any case through
every action of our life, although ignorantly.
Search for our true self is the purpose of our life.
