In thinking, “This is I” and “That is mine”, he binds himself with his self, as does a bird with a snare.
If you wish to be free, know you are the Self, the witness of all these, the heart of awareness. Set your body aside, sit in your own awareness. You will at once be happy, forever still, forever free.
You should discover your own reality and not thwart yourself. For you have the self as your only friend, or as your only enemy.
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.
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!
Selflessness is the sign of the selfless; Bow down at the door of the selfless. The selfless are of the highest authority, The kings of the time and the wearers of the crest and crown.
If a man considers that he is born, he cannot avoid the fear of death. Let him find out if he has been born or if the Self has any birth. ...Find from where thoughts emerge. Then you will be able to abide in the ever-present inmost Self and be free from the idea of birth or the fear of death.
The self-confidence one builds from achieving difficult things and accomplishing goals is the most beautiful thing of all.
Selfless service alone gives the needed strength and courage to awaken the real you sleeping in your heart.
