That the birds of worry and care fly over your head, this you cannot change, but that they build nests in your hair, this you can prevent.
I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.
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.
To find out what is truly individual in ourselves, profound reflection is needed; and suddenly we realise how uncommonly difficult the discovery of individuality is.
Open yourself, create free space; release the bound one from his bonds! Like a newborn child, freed from the womb, be free to move on every path!
You should discover your own reality and not thwart yourself. For you have the self as your only friend, or as your only enemy.
Fight with yourself, why fight with external foes? He, who overcomes self will obtain happiness.
To become conscious we must become Self-aware in the awareness of the observer Self-observing.
All the lights of the world cannot be compared even to a ray of inner light of the Self.
