All that exists is but the manifestation of the Supreme Being.

Mind is but a poor reflection of the radiant Heart.

Remain still, with the conviction that the Self shines as everything yet nothing, within, without, and everywhere.

To know one's Self is to be blissful always.

Happiness is not to be sought in solitude or in busy centers. It is in the Self.

The 'I' casts off the illusion of the 'I' and yet remains 'I'. Such is the paradox of Self-realization. The Realized do not see any paradox in it. Consider the case of the worshipper. He approaches God and prays to be absorbed in Him. He then surrenders himself in faith and by concentration. And what remains afterwards? In the place of the original 'I', self-surrender leaves a residuum of God in which the 'I' is lost. That is the highest form of devotion or surrender and the peak of detachment.

You do not like to suffer yourself. How can you inflict suffering on others?
