Any caterpillar who tried to “know himself” would never become a butterfly.

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 a man considers that he is born, he cannot avoid the fear of death. Let him find out if he has been born or if the Self has any birth. ...Find from where thoughts emerge. Then you will be able to abide in the ever-present inmost Self and be free from the idea of birth or the fear of death.
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.
We are responsible for what we are, and whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves.
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.
In reality, what you are is not that important as "are you really what you portray
yourself to be?"
-Deep Trivedi
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
All the lights of the world cannot be compared even to a ray of inner light of the Self.
