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.
Internally I am a hermit, and externally I am a prince. Arms mean protection to the poor and destruction of the tyrant. Baba Nanak had not renounced the world but had renounced maya, that is, self and ego.
Fight with yourself, why fight with external foes? He, who overcomes self will obtain happiness.
All the lights of the world cannot be compared even to a ray of inner light of the Self.
Occasionally we find ourselves at unexpected crossroads with more than one opportunity from which to choose. Time itself is often the best indicator of which decision to make, for it can tell so many things that are now hazy.
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.
To become conscious we must become Self-aware in the awareness of the observer Self-observing.
