The best way to find your self is to lose yourself in the service of others… All other pleasures and possessions pale into nothingness before service which is rendered in a spirit of joy.
You should discover your own reality and not thwart yourself. For you have the self as your only friend, or as your only enemy.
Bright but hidden, the Self dwells in the heart. Everything that moves, breathes, opens, and closes Lives in the Self. Self is the source of love and may be known through love but not through thought. Attain this goal!
Selfless service alone gives the needed strength and courage to awaken the real you sleeping in your heart.
The self-confidence one builds from achieving difficult things and accomplishing goals is the most beautiful thing of all.
Any caterpillar who tried to “know himself” would never become a butterfly.
In thinking, “This is I” and “That is mine”, he binds himself with his self, as does a bird with a snare.
One’s inner light alone is the means, naught else. When this inner light is kept alive, it is not affected by the darkness of inertia.
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.
Summer is the time when one sheds one’s tensions with one’s clothes, and the right kind of day is jeweled balm for the battered spirit.
