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"
Selfless service alone gives the needed strength and courage to awaken the real you sleeping in your heart.
The great, unborn Self is undecaying, immortal, undying, fearless, infinite.
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.
When your sense of self is no longer tied to thought, is no longer conceptual, there is a depth of feeling, of sensing, of compassion, of loving, that was not there when you were trapped in mental concepts. You are that depth.
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.
All the lights of the world cannot be compared even to a ray of inner light of the Self.
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.
Summer is the time when one sheds one’s tensions with one’s clothes, and the right kind of day is jeweled balm for the battered spirit.
We are responsible for what we are, and whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves.
I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.
