-Ada. L. Huxtable "Ada. L. Huxtable"
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"
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.
-A Spiritual Leader "Sage Vasishtha"
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.
-Linda Chaikin "Linda Lee Chaikin"
All the lights of the world cannot be compared even to a ray of inner light of the Self.
-Swami Sivananda "Swami Sivananda"
Everything is expression of our own intelligence. Through simple, innocent, natural unbounded awareness-fullness of Self, all is accomplished… Only we should not be influenced by the winds.
-A Spiritual Leader "Maharishi Mahesh Yogi"
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"
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.
-Rumi "Jalaluddin Rumi"
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"
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
