To understand oneself profoundly, one needs balance. Neither renunciation nor acquiescence.
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.
The self-confidence one builds from achieving difficult things and accomplishing goals is the most beautiful thing of all.
All the lights of the world cannot be compared even to a ray of inner light of the Self.
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.
The great, unborn Self is undecaying, immortal, undying, fearless, infinite.
I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.
You should discover your own reality and not thwart yourself. For you have the self as your only friend, or as your only enemy.
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 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.
