Be Introvert
AMAR VANI
Soul, you have nothing to do with the conflicts of the mundane world. You should look within, and not without.. See yourself, and not others. He who sees others is a beggar, and he who sees himself is a king, an emperor.
The Source of Happiness
The perennial source of real joy is within you in your soul. It is not in the body, not in your senses, not in your wealth or your people. It is nowhere else.
Know Thyself
If you
Man, open your eyes, wake-up and go ahead. recognise your own power and greatness, you will be able to convert hell into heaven by a mere nod of your head. Your powers cannot be calculated in numerical figures. For them there is only one word-INFINITE.
You are Soul, and yet you fear, you tremble. You have a glory that even the sun or moon does not possess. You have. a power incomparable in the world.
Who are you?
You are neither man nor woman, neither Brahman nor Shudra, neither master nor slave. You are pure soul, holy, enlightened, eternal, immortal, without form, without shape. Do you believe that you are your temporal self bound with your weaknesses and temptations ? If you believe so, nobody can be more foolish, than you.
