Fight with yourself, why fight with external foes? He, who overcomes self will obtain happiness.
-Vardhaman Mahavira "Mahavira"
Fight with yourself, why fight with external foes? He, who overcomes self will obtain happiness.
In reality, what you are is not that important as "are you really what you portray
yourself to be?"
-Deep Trivedi
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.
To become conscious we must become Self-aware in the awareness of the observer Self-observing.
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.
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.
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.
Selfless service alone gives the needed strength and courage to awaken the real you sleeping in your heart.
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.
The great, unborn Self is undecaying, immortal, undying, fearless, infinite.
