Quotations
Self - Discovery
If you have known yourself, you have known everything else. Know that, by knowing which, you will know everything else. The Bible says, “Seek that kingdom within you.” Once you have found that, then everything else will be automatically added unto you; you don’t have to go looking for things outside; they will all come to you.
-Satchidananda Saraswati "Swami Satchidananda"
Man can starve from a lack of self-realization as much as they can starve from a lack of bread.
-Richard Wright
"Native Son"
By self-study, by observing, by being hollow and empty, you become a channel - you become a part of the Divine. You are able to feel the presence of Divinity. All the different angels and devas, all these different forms of our consciousness, start blossoming.
-Sri Sri Ravi Shankar "Sri Sri Ravi Shankar"
There is a limit to how much you can change to be liked for who you really are.

-Fyodor M. Dostoevsky

In the end you don't so much find yourself as you find someone who knows who you are.
