The person who does not love himself, though he may abstain from meat in the
name of non-violence; his mind can never be non-violent.
-Deep Trivedi
Quotations
Self
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
Just don’t seek from another or you’ll be far estranged from Self. I now go on alone meeting it everywhere, it now is just what I am; I now am not it. You must comprehend in this way to merge with thus-ness.
-A Spiritual Leader "Dongshan"
The one who loves himself, would atleast not worry or be jealous.
-Deep Trivedi
I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.
-Bible "Revelation 22.13"
The great, unborn Self is undecaying, immortal, undying, fearless, infinite.
- Upanishads "Brihadaranyaka Upanishad 4.4.25"
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.
-A Spiritual Leader "Guru Hargobind Singh"
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.
-Eckhart Tolle "Eckhart Tolle"
The Self, having in dreams enjoyed the pleasures of sense, gone hither and thither, experienced good and evil, hastens back to the state of waking from which he started. As a man passes from dream to wakefulness, so does he pass from this life to the next.
- Upanishads "Brihadaranyaka Upanishad"
In reality, what you are is not that important as "are you really what you portray
yourself to be?"
-Deep Trivedi
