Where there is lack of βGnanβ (Knowledge and experience of the Self; real Knowledge) there is worldly existence and where there is βGnanβ (Real Knowledge), there is no worldly existence.
That which comes forth, is present and cautions at all times is called βGnanβ (Eternal knowledge). That indeed is the Soul [Our True Self]. The Soul is not separate from the Knowledge.
Gnanβ [True Knowledge, Knowledge of oneβs own self], is freedom itself. It keeps one in Moksha [liberated state] and prevents [karmic] bondage.
There are two aspects to this world; even though it is fickle, it is within principle. Through the medium of the five senses and intellectual knowledge, it appears fickle and through βGnanβ (Real Knowledge) it appears to be within principle.
No knowledge about self is self-slavery!
I know more than I know and must learn it from myself.
Know thy self, and the world will be thy oyster!

Do we find ourself or does our self get demolished?
The unique personality which is the real life in me, I can not gain unless I search for the real life, the spiritual quality, in others. I am myself spiritually dead unless I reach out to the fine quality dormant in others. For it is only with the god enthroned in the innermost shrine of the other, that the god hidden in me, will consent to appear.
It is the mind, not the self, that feels (sad, happy, angry, etc.).
There is such an intimate connection between the way we look at things and what we actually discover. If you can learn to look at yourself and your life in a gentle, creative, and adventurous way, you will be eternally surprised at what you find.
Each of us needs to learn the unique language of our own soul.
Society mainly uses the concept of self to make the individual less unpredictable.
The recognition of the same self in all beings turns a human being into a sage or seer. A person is a sage or seer not due to having a beard, degree, particular skin color, nationality, or gender, but because he beholds this profound vision of equality in all beings and lives according to that vision.
You, as a soul, are the realization that you are.
I am authentic I live in harmony with who I am I am true to my nature
