We are responsible for what we are, and whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves.
-Swami Vivekananda "Swami Vivekananda"
We are responsible for what we are, and whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves.
That the birds of worry and care fly over your head, this you cannot change, but that they build nests in your hair, this you can prevent.
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.
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.
-Deep Trivedi
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.
I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.
Everything is expression of our own intelligence. Through simple, innocent, natural unbounded awareness-fullness of Self, all is accomplished… Only we should not be influenced by the winds.
Selfless service alone gives the needed strength and courage to awaken the real you sleeping in your heart.
I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.
To find out what is truly individual in ourselves, profound reflection is needed; and suddenly we realise how uncommonly difficult the discovery of individuality is.
