To understand oneself profoundly, one needs balance. Neither renunciation nor acquiescence.
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.
When your sense of self is no longer tied to thought, is no longer conceptual, there is a depth of feeling, of sensing, of compassion, of loving, that was not there when you were trapped in mental concepts. You are that depth.
The self-confidence one builds from achieving difficult things and accomplishing goals is the most beautiful thing of all.
You should discover your own reality and not thwart yourself. For you have the self as your only friend, or as your only enemy.
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.
Selfless service alone gives the needed strength and courage to awaken the real you sleeping in your heart.
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!
We are responsible for what we are, and whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves.
