The best way to find your self is to lose yourself in the service of others… All other pleasures and possessions pale into nothingness before service which is rendered in a spirit of joy.
Bright but hidden, the Self dwells in the heart. Everything that moves, breathes, opens, and closes Lives in the Self. Self is the source of love and may be known through love but not through thought. Attain this goal!
All the lights of the world cannot be compared even to a ray of inner light of the Self.
Fight with yourself, why fight with external foes? He, who overcomes self will obtain happiness.
To find out what is truly individual in ourselves, profound reflection is needed; and suddenly we realise how uncommonly difficult the discovery of individuality is.
Just don’t seek from another or you’ll be far estranged from Self. I now go on alone meeting it everywhere, it now is just what I am; I now am not it. You must comprehend in this way to merge with thus-ness.
To understand oneself profoundly, one needs balance. Neither renunciation nor acquiescence.
You should discover your own reality and not thwart yourself. For you have the self as your only friend, or as your only enemy.
