You should discover your own reality and not thwart yourself. For you have the self as your only friend, or as your only enemy.
-Srimad Bhagavad Gita "Bhagwad Gita 6.5"
You should discover your own reality and not thwart yourself. For you have the self as your only friend, or as your only enemy.
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.
In thinking, “This is I” and “That is mine”, he binds himself with his self, as does a bird with a snare.
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.
Fight with yourself, why fight with external foes? He, who overcomes self will obtain happiness.
The one who doesn't love himself, can never love anyone else in this world. And
if he loves himself, atleast he would not torture or trouble anyone in the name of
religion or teachings...
-Deep Trivedi
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.
If a man considers that he is born, he cannot avoid the fear of death. Let him find out if he has been born or if the Self has any birth. ...Find from where thoughts emerge. Then you will be able to abide in the ever-present inmost Self and be free from the idea of birth or the fear of death.
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.
Bright but hidden, the Self dwells in the heart. Everything that moves, breathes, opens, and closes Lives in the Self. Self is the source of love and may be known through love but not through thought. Attain this goal!
