Manners are a sensitive awareness of the feelings of others. If you have that awareness, you have good manners, no matter which fork you use.
The great, unborn Self is undecaying, immortal, undying, fearless, infinite.
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.
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.
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 be at once happy, forever still, forever free.
All the lights of the world cannot be compared even to a ray of inner light of the Self.
The self-confidence one builds from achieving difficult things and accomplishing goals is the most beautiful thing of all.
We are responsible for what we are, and whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves.
