We are responsible for what we are, and whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves.
-Swami Vivekananda "Swami Vivekananda"
We are responsible for what we are, and whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves.
Fight with yourself, why fight with external foes? He, who overcomes self will obtain happiness.
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.
All the lights of the world cannot be compared even to a ray of inner light of the Self.
Summer is the time when one sheds one’s tensions with one’s clothes, and the right kind of day is jeweled balm for the battered spirit.
In reality, what you are is not that important as "are you really what you portray
yourself to be?"
-Deep Trivedi
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.
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 at once be happy, forever still, forever free.
Open yourself, create free space; release the bound one from his bonds! Like a newborn child, freed from the womb, be free to move on every path!
Why don't we understand the simple fact that we have to spend the major part
of our life with ourselves. Then why do we depend on other people or things and
invite sorrows? Obviously, how can a person who is so dependent on others for
his happiness, ever be happy?
-Deep Trivedi
