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.
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.
We are responsible for what we are, and whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves.
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.
To understand oneself profoundly, one needs balance. Neither renunciation nor acquiescence.
In thinking, “This is I” and “That is mine”, he binds himself with his self, as does a bird with a snare.
Any caterpillar who tried to “know himself” would never become a butterfly.
