#Self

"Until ignorance, of one’s own Self (the Soul), is removed, illusory attachment (moha) will not go away."

"I envy people that know love. That have someone who takes them as they are."

"Success in any endeavor depends on the degree to which it is an expression of your true self."

"دع إنساناً يغير اتجاه أفكاره، وسوف تتملكه الدهشة لسرعة التحوّل الذي يحدثه هذا التغير في جوانب حياته المتعددة. إن القدرة الإلهية التي تكيف مصايرنا مودعة في أنفسنا، بل هي أنفسنا ذاتها!!وكل ما يصنعه المرء هو نتيجة مباشرة لما يدور في فكره، فكما أن المرء ينهض على قدميه وينشط وينتج بدافع من أفكاره كذلك يمرض ويشقى بدافع من أفكاره أيضأ."

"Awareness (of the Self) prevails in matters where one becomes attachment-free (vitrag), and where one has attachment-abhorrence, there his awareness will not prevail."

"There is, so I believe, in the essence of everything, something that we cannot call learning. There is, my friend, only a knowledge-that is everywhere, that is Atman, that is in me and you and in every creature, and I am beginning to believe that this knowledge has no worse enemy than the man of knowledge, than learning."

"Silent solitude makes true speech possible and personal. If I am not in touch with my own belovedness, then I cannot touch the sacredness of others. If I am estranged from myself, I am likewise a stranger to others."

"Pure Soul and circumstances; there are only these two; but the disturbance of egoism does not allow it to be at peace."

"Keep your best wishes, close to your heart and watch what happens"

"I think it's a mistake to ever look for hope outside of one's self."

"If I was made of cake I'd eat myself before somebody else could."

"Circumstances can change through worldly knowledge (ignorance of the self, the Soul) and also through (true) knowledge (realization of the self). With ignorance, circumstances will bring entanglements and with (true) knowledge, circumstances will bring solutions. (True) Knowledge itself changes circumstances. Is God likely to come down and do so?"

"Don't look to the approval of others for your mental stability"

"Rulers are not anointed. They are created by the void of self-mastery."

"There are so many things in this world. If we put it in short (succinctly), then what will remain? The ‘pure Soul’ and ‘circumstances’. Moreover, to disperse is the nature of circumstances. Therefore, the Pure Soul will not have to tell them to go away."

"How much straight forward you are; that much bliss of the Self (Samadhi) will prevail within you."

"What I'm looking for is not out there, it is in me."

"You are what your creators and experiences have made you, like every other being in this universe. Accept that and be done; I tire of your whining."

"If you never tell anyone the truth about yourself, eventually you start to forget. The love, the heartbreak, the joy, the despair, the things I did that were good, the things I did that were shameful--if I kept them all inside, my memories of them would start to disappear. And then I would disappear."

"The most insignificant people are the most apt to sneer at others. They are safe from reprisals. And have no hope of rising in their own self esteem but by lowering their neighbors."
