Quotations
Self - Discovery
People often say that this or that person has not yet found himself. But the self is not something one finds, it is something one creates.
-Thomas Stephen Szasz
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"
Better to start up a thousand wrong roads than to spend your life going nowhere because you know the way.
-Robert Brault
There is a limit to how much you can change to be liked for who you really are.
-Robert Brault
In order to find yourself you need to get lost in the forest of life.
-Mike Dolan
No one remains quite what he was when he recognizes himself.
-Thomas Mann
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"
We catch frightful glimpses of ourselves in the hostile eyes of others.
-Mignon McLaughlin
"The Neurotic's Notebook"
If you don't get lost, there's a chance you may never be found.
