 The text provided is an excerpt from "The Art of Living" philosophy, titled **"Being Established in the Self" (आत्मस्थित होना)**.

Here is the English translation and a summary of the core message:

### Translation

**February 14, 1996**

**London, United Kingdom**

**36. Being Established in the Self**

The Self (Atma) and the elements (Tattva/Matter) are made for each other and support one another. If you value only the elements and do not respect the Self, the elements cannot flourish.

If you respect the Self, you will take care of the world, and when you take care of the world, it will take care of you.

The Divine is the Valentine of the entire world, the Beloved, and resides in every heart.

Although love is in every heart, it expresses itself in different forms. You cannot behave the same way with everyone, but you can love everyone. Recognize love beyond behavior and etiquette.

By being established in the Self, you become the Valentine (Beloved) of the entire world.

### Key Takeaways

 * **Balance Between Spirit and Matter:** The text emphasizes that the Self (inner spirit) and the material world are interdependent. Focusing only on material gains while ignoring the Self leads to stagnation.

 * **Reciprocity:** There is a cycle of care—when you honor your inner Self, you naturally care for the world around you, and in turn, the world sustains you.

 * **Universal Love:** The Divine is presented as the "Valentine" (Beloved) present in everyone. The text encourages looking beyond outward actions and social etiquettes to connect with the love that resides in every human heart.

 * **The State of Being:** Ultimately, the message suggests that true spiritual maturity lies in being "established in the Self," which allows one to become a source of love and light for the entire world.
