I Am Atman

In this embodied existence, you will be tossed again and again on the waves of happiness and misery, prosperity and adversity -- but know them all to be of momentary duration. 
Never care for them. 

"I am birthless, the deathless Atman, whose nature is Intelligence"-- implanting this idea firmly in your heart, you should pass the days of your life. "I have no birth, no death, I am the Atman untouched by anything"-- lose yourself completely in this idea. 

              - Swami Vivekananda, 
                Conversations and Dialogues, 
                 recorded by Sharat Chandra Chakravarty
