Quotations
Self
-Rumi "Jalaluddin Rumi"
The Self, having in dreams enjoyed the pleasures of sense, gone hither and thither, experienced good and evil, hastens back to the state of waking from which he started. As a man passes from dream to wakefulness, so does he pass from this life to the next.
- Upanishads "Brihadaranyaka Upanishad"
The one who loves himself, would atleast not worry or be jealous.
-Deep Trivedi
Fight with yourself, why fight with external foes? He, who overcomes self will obtain happiness.
-Vardhaman Mahavira "Mahavira"
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.
-Deep Trivedi
Selfless service alone gives the needed strength and courage to awaken the real you sleeping in your heart.

All the lights of the world cannot be compared even to a ray of inner light of the Self.
-Swami Sivananda "Swami Sivananda"
