In thinking, “This is I” and “That is mine”, he binds himself with his self, as does a bird with a snare.

In reality, what you are is not that important as "are you really what you portray
yourself to be?"
-Deep Trivedi
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.
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.

I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.
The self-confidence one builds from achieving difficult things and accomplishing goals is the most beautiful thing of all.
The one who loves himself, would atleast not worry or be jealous.
-Deep Trivedi
