Many good sayings are to be found in holy books but merely reading them will not make one religious. One must practice the virtues taught in such books in order to acquire love of God.
Self-inquiry is the process and the goal also. ‘I am’ is the goal and the final reality. To hold to it with effort is self-inquiry. When spontaneous and natural it is realisation.
If you have known yourself, you have known everything else. Know that, by knowing which, you will know everything else. The Bible says, “Seek that kingdom within you.” Once you have found that, then everything else will be automatically added unto you; you don’t have to go looking for things outside; they will all come to you.
Be of service. Whether you make yourself available to a friend or co-worker, or you make time every month to do volunteer work, there is nothing that harvests more of feeling of empowerment than being of service to someone in need.
