If you wish to be free, know you are the Self, the witness of all these, the heart of awareness. Set your body aside, sit in your own awareness. You will at once be happy, forever still, forever free.

Self
-Ashtavakra Gita "Ashtavakra Gita"
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.
-Carl Gustav Jung "Carl Gustav Jung"
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.
- Upanishads "Brihadaranyaka Upanishad"
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"
In reality, what you are is not that important as "are you really what you portray
yourself to be?"
-Deep Trivedi
We are responsible for what we are, and whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves.
-Swami Vivekananda "Swami Vivekananda"
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.
-A Spiritual Leader "Sage Vasishtha"
A king is the one, who is the master of himself. You are just a slave of your
religion, caste, creed, society, thinking, desires and worries.
-Deep Trivedi
I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.
-Bible "Revelation 22.13"
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"
