To understand oneself profoundly, one needs balance. Neither renunciation nor acquiescence.
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.
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 find out what is truly individual in ourselves, profound reflection is needed; and suddenly we realise how uncommonly difficult the discovery of individuality is.
You should discover your own reality and not thwart yourself. For you have the self as your only friend, or as your only enemy.
Selfless service alone gives the needed strength and courage to awaken the real you sleeping in your heart.
Occasionally we find ourselves at unexpected crossroads with more than one opportunity from which to choose. Time itself is often the best indicator of which decision to make, for it can tell so many things that are now hazy.
