To become conscious we must become Self-aware in the awareness of the observer Self-observing.
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.
Selfless service alone gives the needed strength and courage to awaken the real you sleeping in your heart.
That the birds of worry and care fly over your head, this you cannot change, but that they build nests in your hair, this you can prevent.
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.
You should discover your own reality and not thwart yourself. For you have the self as your only friend, or as your only enemy.
Manners are a sensitive awareness of the feelings of others. If you have that awareness, you have good manners, no matter which fork you use.
The self-confidence one builds from achieving difficult things and accomplishing goals is the most beautiful thing of all.
