Our Protection in An Unprotected World: We Have Only To Turn Our Consciousness Within "When we meditate on unprotectedness, we gain a different level of understanding. We see that the real help comes from the pure stream of consciousness. It is like a current that is always flowing. When we need it, we will have it. It always there. We have only to remove the curtain and open ourselves to that energy whose nature is infinite knowledge, infinite bliss, and infinite vision. We have only to turn our consciousness inward to connect with life. It is our protection, our wellspring, our reserve strength, our invisible refuge, which will not exhaust itself at any time. If you are able to connect with this Source, then you are not helpless, for you are protected from within." (Book on Jainism: "Twelve Facets of Reality: The Jain Path To Freedom", by Gurudev Shree Chitrabhanu)
