Why don't we understand the simple fact that we have to spend the major part

torturing himself. Otherwise he, who loves himself, can never cause harm to
anyone.

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.
The great, unborn Self is undecaying, immortal, undying, fearless, infinite.

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.
Selfless service alone gives the needed strength and courage to awaken the real you sleeping in your heart.
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.
