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.
The great, unborn Self is undecaying, immortal, undying, fearless, infinite.
Any caterpillar who tried to “know himself” would never become a butterfly.
In thinking, “This is I” and “That is mine”, he binds himself with his self, as does a bird with a snare.
The self-confidence one builds from achieving difficult things and accomplishing goals is the most beautiful thing of all.
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.
Everything is expression of our own intelligence. Through simple, innocent, natural unbounded awareness-fullness of Self, all is accomplished… Only we should not be influenced by the winds.
Manners are a sensitive awareness of the feelings of others. If you have that awareness, you have good manners, no matter which fork you use.
You should discover your own reality and not thwart yourself. For you have the self as your only friend, or as your only enemy.
In reality, what you are is not that important as "are you really what you portray
yourself to be?"
-Deep Trivedi
