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.

-Mundaka Upanishad "Mundaka Upanishad"
Why don't we understand the simple fact that we have to spend the major part
of our life with ourselves. Then why do we depend on other people or things and
invite sorrows? Obviously, how can a person who is so dependent on others for
his happiness, ever be happy?
-Deep Trivedi
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 be at once happy, forever still, forever free.

Fight with yourself, why fight with external foes? He, who overcomes self will obtain happiness.
-Vardhaman Mahavira "Mahavira"
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.
