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.
-Ashtavakra Gita "Ashtavakra Gita"
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.

Only he can perpetrate violence on others, who knowingly or unknowingly is
torturing himself. Otherwise he, who loves himself, can never cause harm to
anyone.
-Deep Trivedi
The self-confidence one builds from achieving difficult things and accomplishing goals is the most beautiful thing of all.
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
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.
In reality, what you are is not that important as "are you really what you portray
yourself to be?"
-Deep Trivedi
Fight with yourself, why fight with external foes? He, who overcomes self will obtain happiness.
We are responsible for what we are, and whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves.
The one who loves himself, would atleast not worry or be jealous.
-Deep Trivedi
