I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.
-Bible "Revelation 22.13"
I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.
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
You should discover your own reality and not thwart yourself. For you have the self as your only friend, or as your only enemy.
Fight with yourself, why fight with external foes? He, who overcomes self will obtain happiness.
In thinking, “This is I” and “That is mine”, he binds himself with his self, as does a bird with a snare.
The self-confidence one builds from achieving difficult things and accomplishing goals is the most beautiful thing of all.
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
Manners are a sensitive awareness of the feelings of others. If you have that awareness, you have good manners, no matter which fork you use.
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.
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.
