The great, unborn Self is undecaying, immortal, undying, fearless, infinite.
- Upanishads "Brihadaranyaka Upanishad 4.4.25"
The great, unborn Self is undecaying, immortal, undying, fearless, infinite.
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 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.
