That the birds of worry and care fly over your head, this you cannot change, but that they build nests in your hair, this you can prevent.
Open yourself, create free space; release the bound one from his bonds! Like a newborn child, freed from the womb, be free to move on every path!
To become conscious we must become Self-aware in the awareness of the observer Self-observing.
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.
If you wish to be free, know you are the Self, the witness of all these, the heart of awareness. Set your body aside, sit in your own awareness. You will at once be happy, forever still, forever free.
In thinking, “This is I” and “That is mine”, he binds himself with his self, as does a bird with a snare.
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.
We are responsible for what we are, and whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves.
