Any caterpillar who tried to “know himself” would never become a butterfly.
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.
Selfless service alone gives the needed strength and courage to awaken the real you sleeping in your heart.
Fight with yourself, why fight with external foes? He, who overcomes self will obtain happiness.
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.
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!
The self-confidence one builds from achieving difficult things and accomplishing goals is the most beautiful thing of all.
In thinking, “This is I” and “That is mine”, he binds himself with his self, as does a bird with a snare.
Summer is the time when one sheds one’s tensions with one’s clothes, and the right kind of day is jeweled balm for the battered spirit.
