"Be the Self. That is Bliss." "If one realizes at heart what one's true nature is,

 

"Be the Self. That is Bliss."

"If one realizes at heart what one's true nature is, one will find out that it is Bliss without beginning and without end."

"Happiness is your nature. It is not wrong to desire it. What's wrong is seeking it outside when it is inside."

"See from where all happiness - including the happiness you regard as coming from sense-objects - really comes. You will understand that all happiness comes only from the Self, and then you will always abide in the Self."

"What is not permanent is not worth striving for. The only 'goal' worth seeking is the Supreme Bliss of Self-Awareness."

"The darkness of illusion never touches the Seer who knows his true identity as pure Awareness, vaster than the sky, brighter than the sun."

"Nearly all mankind is more or less unhappy because nearly all do not know the true Self. Real happiness abides in Self-knowledge alone. All else is fleeting. To know one’s Self is to be blissful, always."

"The world is so unhappy because it is ignorant of the true Self. Man's real nature is happiness. Man's search for happiness is an unconscious search for his true Self. The true Self is imperishable. Therefore, when a man finds it, he finds a happiness which does not come to an end."
