Quotations
Self
-Sathya Sai Baba "Sri Sathya Sai Baba"
You should discover your own reality and not thwart yourself. For you have the self as your only friend, or as your only enemy.
-Srimad Bhagavad Gita "Bhagwad Gita 6.5"
Just don’t seek from another or you’ll be far estranged from Self. I now go on alone meeting it everywhere, it now is just what I am; I now am not it. You must comprehend in this way to merge with thus-ness.
-A Spiritual Leader "Dongshan"
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.
-Sathya Sai Baba "Sai Sathya Sai Baba"
The person who does not love himself, though he may abstain from meat in the
name of non-violence; his mind can never be non-violent.
-Deep Trivedi
The one who loves himself, would atleast not worry or be jealous.
-Deep Trivedi
Only he can perpetrate violence on others, who knowingly or unknowingly is
torturing himself. Otherwise he, who loves himself, can never cause harm to
anyone.
-Deep Trivedi
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.
-A Spiritual Leader "Guru Hargobind Singh"
At night, I open the window and ask the moon to come and press its face against mine. Breathe into me. Close the language-door, and open the love-window. The moon won’t use the door, only the window.
-Rumi "Jalaluddin Rumi"
All the lights of the world cannot be compared even to a ray of inner light of the Self.
-Swami Sivananda "Swami Sivananda"
