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.

The self-confidence one builds from achieving difficult things and accomplishing goals is the most beautiful thing of all.
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.

To understand oneself profoundly, one needs balance. Neither renunciation nor acquiescence.
I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.
Internally I am a hermit, and externally I am a prince. Arms mean protection to the poor and destruction of the tyrant. Baba Nanak had not renounced the world but had renounced maya, that is, self and ego.
