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"
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
A man travels the world over in search of what he needs and returns home to find it.
-George Moore
Man can starve from a lack of self-realization as much as they can starve from a lack of bread.
-Richard Wright
"Native Son"
Truth hurts - not the searching after; the running from!
-John Eyberg
Those who are brutally honest are seldom so with themselves.
-Mignon McLaughlin
"The Second Neurotic's Notebook"
No one remains quite what he was when he recognizes himself.
-Anonymous
You necessarily have to be lost, before you’re found.
-T. Scott McLeod
"All That Is Unspoken"
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"
