#Self

"I lock my door upon myself, And bar them out; but who shall wall Self from myself, most loathed of all?"

"You are -- your life, and nothing else."

"Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself."

"What makes us leave what we love best?What is it inside us that keeps erasing itselfWhen we need it most,That sends us into uncertainty for its own sakeAnd holds us flush there until we begin to love itAnd have to begin again?What is it within our own lives we decline to liveWhenever we find it, making our days unendurable,And nights almost visionless?I still don't know yet, but I do it."

"To be unattached in every phase of one’s life is indeed full enlightened bliss of the Self (Purna samadhi)!"

"I'd rather strive for the kind of interview where instead of me asking to introduce myself to society, society asks me to introduce myself to society."

"Marriage is the union of two 'I's to form a 'V'. Both 'I's have to tilt equally to make a good 'V'. 'I's standing tall can never make a 'V'."

"One of the greatest tragedies in life is to lose your own sense of self and accept the version of you that is expected by everyone else."

"V-Day…if you need this one day in a year to show everyone else you truly care for “your loved one” I think it’s quite stupid. I hate this commercialism. It’s all artificial, and has nothing to do with real love."

"Happiness is part of who we are. Joy is the feeling"

"I am attracted to intelligence, a witty sense of humor, an adventurous outlook on life and spiritual awareness about one's self and the world."

"المرآة تعكس بدقة متناهية دون أن تخطئ ابداَ . لأنها وبكل بساطة لا تفكر"

"Trust yourself. Create the kind of self that you will be happy to live with all your life. Make the most of yourself by fanning the tiny, inner sparks of possibility into flames of achievement."

"All those that don’t allow us to do things for the Soul (our True Self), they are our opposers (kashays); we shouldn’t listen to them."

"But being the mirrors for each other's souls has a cost: by the time they part from each other, the individuals in the mating pair have become indistinguishable. Before their merger, they each yearned for the other; as they part, they part from the self. The very quality that attracted them to each other is also, inevitably, destroyed in their union."

"For everyone now strives most of all to seperate his person, wishing to experience the fullness of life within himself, and yet what comes of all his efforts is not the fullness of life, but full suicide, for instead of the fullness of self-definition, they fall into complete isolation."

"It is more substantial to represent a purpose, rather than just a title."

"Cultures, along with the religions that shape and nurture them, are value systems, sets of traditions and habits clustered around one or several languages, producing meaning: for the self, for the here and now, for the community, for life."

"Confidence is like a dragon where, for every head cut off, two more heads grow back."

"The most painful thing is losing yourself in the process of loving someone too much, and forgetting that you are special too."
