The great, unborn Self is undecaying, immortal, undying, fearless, infinite.

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.
In reality, what you are is not that important as "are you really what you portray
yourself to be?"

We are responsible for what we are, and whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves.

Service without ideal of self…trains you to transcend all the artificial distinctions imposed by history and geography, and to realise that the human community is one and indivisible.
