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 be at once happy, forever still, forever free.
-Ashtavakra Gita "Ashtavakra Gita 1:3-4"
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 be at once happy, forever still, forever free.
The self-confidence one builds from achieving difficult things and accomplishing goals is the most beautiful thing of all.
You should discover your own reality and not thwart yourself. For you have the self as your only friend, or as your only enemy.
All the lights of the world cannot be compared even to a ray of inner light of the Self.
Selflessness is the sign of the selfless; Bow down at the door of the selfless. The selfless are of the highest authority, The kings of the time and the wearers of the crest and crown.
Selfless service alone gives the needed strength and courage to awaken the real you sleeping in your heart.
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.
Bright but hidden, the Self dwells in the heart. Everything that moves, breathes, opens, and closes Lives in the Self. Self is the source of love and may be known through love but not through thought. Attain this goal!
If a man considers that he is born, he cannot avoid the fear of death. Let him find out if he has been born or if the Self has any birth. ...Find from where thoughts emerge. Then you will be able to abide in the ever-present inmost Self and be free from the idea of birth or the fear of death.
That the birds of worry and care fly over your head, this you cannot change, but that they build nests in your hair, this you can prevent.
