When your sense of self is no longer tied to thought, is no longer conceptual, there is a depth of feeling, of sensing, of compassion, of loving, that was not there when you were trapped in mental concepts. You are that depth.
The self-confidence one builds from achieving difficult things and accomplishing goals is the most beautiful thing of all.
The Self, having in dreams enjoyed the pleasures of sense, gone hither and thither, experienced good and evil, hastens back to the state of waking from which he started. As a man passes from dream to wakefulness, so does he pass from this life to the next.
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.
To understand oneself profoundly, one needs balance. Neither renunciation nor acquiescence.
In thinking, “This is I” and “That is mine”, he binds himself with his self, as does a bird with a snare.
The great, unborn Self is undecaying, immortal, undying, fearless, infinite.
Fight with yourself, why fight with external foes? He, who overcomes self will obtain happiness.
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.
