The self-confidence one builds from achieving difficult things and accomplishing goals is the most beautiful thing of all.
Internally I am a hermit, and externally I am a prince. Arms mean protection to the poor and destruction of the tyrant. Baba Nanak had not renounced the world but had renounced maya, that is, self and ego.
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.
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.
Selflessness is the sign of the selfless; Bow down at the door of the selfless. The selfless are of the highest authority, The kings of the time and the wearers of the crest and crown.
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.
To become conscious we must become Self-aware in the awareness of the observer Self-observing.
To understand oneself profoundly, one needs balance. Neither renunciation nor acquiescence.
Fight with yourself, why fight with external foes? He, who overcomes self will obtain happiness.
