Selflessness is the sign of the selfless; Bow down at the door of the selfless. The selfless are of the highest authority, The kings of the time and the wearers of the crest and crown.
Any caterpillar who tried to “know himself” would never become a butterfly.
In thinking, “This is I” and “That is mine”, he binds himself with his self, as does a bird with a snare.
Fight with yourself, why fight with external foes? He, who overcomes self will obtain happiness.
If a man considers that he is born, he cannot avoid the fear of death. Let him find out if he has been born or if the Self has any birth. ...Find from where thoughts emerge. Then you will be able to abide in the ever-present inmost Self and be free from the idea of birth or the fear of death.
The great, unborn Self is undecaying, immortal, undying, fearless, infinite.
We are responsible for what we are, and whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves.
You should discover your own reality and not thwart yourself. For you have the self as your only friend, or as your only enemy.
Selfless service alone gives the needed strength and courage to awaken the real you sleeping in your heart.
