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"

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.
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.
To understand oneself profoundly, one needs balance. Neither renunciation nor acquiescence.
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
The best way to find your self is to lose yourself in the service of others… All other pleasures and possessions pale into nothingness before service which is rendered in a spirit of joy.
The great, unborn Self is undecaying, immortal, undying, fearless, infinite.
You should discover your own reality and not thwart yourself. For you have the self as your only friend, or as your only enemy.
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.
In reality, what you are is not that important as "are you really what you portray
yourself to be?"
-Deep Trivedi
