What you think

You may believe that you are responsible for what you do, but not for what you think. The truth is that you are responsible for what you think, because it is only at this level that you can exercise choice. What you do comes from what you think.

Realize the Self

A disciple asked his teacher, “Sir, please tell me how I can realize the Self.”

The teacher took the disciple to a lake and both of them got into the water. Suddenly, the teacher pressed the disciple’s head under the water. After a few moments, he released him and asked him,”How did you feel?” The disciple said, “Oh! I thought I would die. I was panting for breath.”

The teacher then said, “When you will have the same longing for the Self, you will surely realize.”
