To find out what is truly individual in ourselves, profound reflection is needed; and suddenly we realise how uncommonly difficult the discovery of individuality is.
Any caterpillar who tried to “know himself” would never become a butterfly.
The self-confidence one builds from achieving difficult things and accomplishing goals is the most beautiful thing of all.
You should discover your own reality and not thwart yourself. For you have the self as your only friend, or as your only enemy.
Selfless service alone gives the needed strength and courage to awaken the real you sleeping in your heart.

To understand oneself profoundly, one needs balance. Neither renunciation nor acquiescence.
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.
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.
