Fight with yourself, why fight with external foes? He, who overcomes self will obtain happiness.
-Vardhaman Mahavira "Mahavira"
Fight with yourself, why fight with external foes? He, who overcomes self will obtain happiness.
Only he can perpetrate violence on others, who knowingly or unknowingly is
torturing himself. Otherwise he, who loves himself, can never cause harm to
anyone.

Any caterpillar who tried to “know himself” would never become a butterfly.
You should discover your own reality and not thwart yourself. For you have the self as your only friend, or as your only enemy.
I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.
A king is the one, who is the master of himself. You are just a slave of your
religion, caste, creed, society, thinking, desires and worries.
-Deep Trivedi
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 best way to find your self is to lose yourself in the service of others… All other pleasures and possessions pale into nothingness before service which is rendered in a spirit of joy.
At night, I open the window and ask the moon to come and press its face against mine. Breathe into me. Close the language - door and open the love - window. The moon won’t use the door, only the window.
I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.
