In thinking, “This is I” and “That is mine”, he binds himself with his self, as does a bird with a snare.
- Upanishads "Maitri Upanishad 3.2"
In thinking, “This is I” and “That is mine”, he binds himself with his self, as does a bird with a snare.
To become conscious we must become Self-aware in the awareness of the observer Self-observing.
The one who loves himself, would atleast not worry or be jealous.
-Deep Trivedi
All the lights of the world cannot be compared even to a ray of inner light of the Self.
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.
Fight with yourself, why fight with external foes? He, who overcomes self will obtain happiness.
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.
Selfless service alone gives the needed strength and courage to awaken the real you sleeping in your heart.
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.
You should discover your own reality and not thwart yourself. For you have the self as your only friend, or as your only enemy.
