Self
-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"
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"
All the lights of the world cannot be compared even to a ray of inner light of the Self.
-Swami Sivananda "Swami Sivananda"
In reality, what you are is not that important as "are you really what you portray
yourself to be?"
-Deep Trivedi
Selfless service alone gives the needed strength and courage to awaken the real you sleeping in your heart.
-Sathya Sai Baba "Sri Sathya Sai Baba"
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"
The great, unborn Self is undecaying, immortal, undying, fearless, infinite.
- Upanishads "Brihadaranyaka Upanishad 4.4.25"
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.
-Proverbs "Chinese proverb "
In thinking, “This is I” and “That is mine”, he binds himself with his self, as does a bird with a snare.
