Quotations
Self
-Carl Gustav Jung "Carl Gustav Jung"
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.
-Ramana Maharshi "Ramana Maharshi"
The best way to find your self is to lose yourself in the service of others… All other pleasures and possessions pale into nothingness before service which is rendered in a spirit of joy.
-Mahatma Gandhi "Mahatma Gandhi"
Why don't we understand the simple fact that we have to spend the major part

invite sorrows? Obviously, how can a person who is so dependent on others for
his happiness, ever be happy?
-Deep Trivedi
I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.

To understand oneself profoundly, one needs balance. Neither renunciation nor acquiescence.

One’s inner light alone is the means, naught else. When this inner light is kept alive, it is not affected by the darkness of inertia.
