You can tell whether a man is clever by his answers. You can tell whether a man is wise by his questions.
A solid rock is not disturbed by the wind; even so, a wise person is not agitated by praise or blame.
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.
You may control a mad elephant; You may shut the mouth of the bear and the tiger; Ride the lion and play with the cobra; By alchemy you may earn your livelihood; You may wander through the universe incognito; Make vassals of the gods; be ever youthful; You may walk on water and live in fire; But control of the mind is better and more difficult.
No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path.
