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.
In thinking, “This is I” and “That is mine”, he binds himself with his self, as does a bird with a snare.
Service without ideal of self…trains you to transcend all the artificial distinctions imposed by history and geography, and to realise that the human community is one and indivisible.
I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.
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.
Open yourself, create free space; release the bound one from his bonds! Like a newborn child, freed from the womb, be free to move on every path!
Fight with yourself, why fight with external foes? He, who overcomes self will obtain happiness.
