Patriotism is, fundamentally, a conviction that a particular country is the best in the world because you were born in it…
A yogi who perceives his real Self as separate from his active senses and their objects never becomes attached to anything. He is aware of the dream nature of the universe and watches it without being entangled in its complex but ephemeral nature.
Surely my prayer and my sacrifice and my life and my death are (all) for Allah, the Lord of the worlds.
Desireless, serene, immortal, self-existent, contented with the essence, lacking nothing, is He. One has no fear of death who has known Him, the Atman - serene, ageless, youthful.
You should discover your own reality and not thwart yourself. For you have the self as your only friend, or as your only enemy.
