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.

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.
-Rumi "Jalaluddin Rumi"
The Self, having in dreams enjoyed the pleasures of sense, gone hither and thither, experienced good and evil, hastens back to the state of waking from which he started. As a man passes from dream to wakefulness, so does he pass from this life to the next.
- Upanishads "Brihadaranyaka Upanishad"
Why don't we understand the simple fact that we have to spend the major part
of our life with ourselves. Then why do we depend on other people or things and
invite sorrows? Obviously, how can a person who is so dependent on others for
his happiness, ever be happy?
-Deep Trivedi
Selflessness is the sign of the selfless; Bow down at the door of the selfless. The selfless are of the highest authority, The kings of the time and the wearers of the crest and crown.
-Rupa Bhawani "Rupa Bhawani"
To understand oneself profoundly, one needs balance. Neither renunciation nor acquiescence.
-J. Krishnamurti "J. Krishnamurti"
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.
-A Spiritual Leader "Sage Vasishtha"
Open yourself, create free space; release the bound one from his bonds! Like a newborn child, freed from the womb, be free to move on every path!

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"
You should discover your own reality and not thwart yourself. For you have the self as your only friend, or as your only enemy.
