To understand oneself profoundly, one needs balance. Neither renunciation nor acquiescence.
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.
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.
The Self, having in dreams enjoyed the pleasures of sense, gone hither and thither, experienced good and evil, hastens back to the state of waking from which he started. As a man passes from dream to wakefulness, so does he pass from this life to the next.
Service without ideal of self…trains you to transcend all the artificial distinctions imposed by history and geography, and to realise that the human community is one and indivisible.
One’s inner light alone is the means, naught else. When this inner light is kept alive, it is not affected by the darkness of inertia.
Selfless service alone gives the needed strength and courage to awaken the real you sleeping in your heart.
We are responsible for what we are, and whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves.
Fight with yourself, why fight with external foes? He, who overcomes self will obtain happiness.
