That by which the vital breath does not breathe, but by which the breath itself is directed — know that alone as Brahman, not this which people worship here.

Same theme, different voices
You have been born in this world as a human being to worship God, so try to cultivate love for his divine presence.
If the mind constantly recognizes the presence of the Supreme Power, it will eliminate selfishness and work for the well-being of others.
Sin confines us in hell. Sin is also an eternity of hell because eternity exists in our will, and if it weren't for our will, it wouldn't be in our consciousness.
However, the timeless part of you is aware of the timelessness of life. It knows that yesterday is just a memory of today and tomorrow is just a dream of today.
When one listens to the divine word, the mind is attuned to it and it becomes part of one's consciousness.
