Occasionally we find ourselves at unexpected crossroads with more than one opportunity from which to choose. Time itself is often the best indicator of which decision to make, for it can tell so many things that are now hazy.
Internally I am a hermit, and externally I am a prince. Arms mean protection to the poor and destruction of the tyrant. Baba Nanak had not renounced the world but had renounced maya, that is, self and ego.
I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.
In thinking, “This is I” and “That is mine”, he binds himself with his self, as does a bird with a snare.
Selfless service alone gives the needed strength and courage to awaken the real you sleeping in your heart.
The person who does not love himself, though he may abstain from meat in the
name of non-violence; his mind can never be non-violent.
-Deep Trivedi
All the lights of the world cannot be compared even to a ray of inner light of the Self.
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.
You should discover your own reality and not thwart yourself. For you have the self as your only friend, or as your only enemy.
To become conscious we must become Self-aware in the awareness of the observer Self-observing.
