Occasionally we find ourselves at unexpected crossroads with more than one opportunity from which to choose. Time itself is often the best indicator of which decision to make, for it can tell so many things that are now hazy.
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.
All the lights of the world cannot be compared even to a ray of inner light of the Self.
Service without ideal of self…trains you to transcend all the artificial distinctions imposed by history and geography, and to realise that the human community is one and indivisible.
Any caterpillar who tried to “know himself” would never become a butterfly.
Selfless service alone gives the needed strength and courage to awaken the real you sleeping in your heart.
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!
Fight with yourself, why fight with external foes? He, who overcomes self will obtain happiness.
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
