In thinking, “This is I” and “That is mine”, he binds himself with his self, as does a bird with a snare.
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.
Why don't we understand the simple fact that we have to spend the major part

his happiness, ever be happy?

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.
