Let us enter the cell of self-knowledge.
-Saint Catherine
Wherever we go, whatever we do,
self is the sole object we study and learn.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
The Self is not only the easiest thing to know,
but beyond It, there is nothing else to know.
-Ramana Maharshi
How shall I grasp it?
Do not grasp it.
That which remains when there is no more grasping
is the Self.
-Panchadasi
There is no image you can hold,
No thought you can think,
That encompasses the Great Self.
-Lorin Roche
The Self: you can't explain it.
You can sense its existence through the refined state of your senses.
To know it you have to experience it.
And the best you can say about it is that it is the depth of your Being,
the very core of you.
It is you.
-Subramuniya
That mystery, that deep deep, ever so deep thing
which is before all worlds,
is you, the unrecognized self.
-Alan Watts
The Self is not found in the outside world.
Rather it is the nucleus of our inmost being.
-Georg Feuerstein
Where is your Self to be found?
Always in the deepest enchantment that you have experienced.
-Hugo von Hofmannsthal
The symbols of the self
arise in the depths of the body.
-Carl Jung
You must get rid of the idea that you are yet to realize the Self.
You are the Self here and now.
-Ramana Maharshi
You are the Self;
you are already That.
-Ramana Maharshi
This Self is like an inner light with no "off" switch.
You may lose sight of it, but it never goes out.
-Robert Holden
Behind you waking experience,
behind your dream experience,
behind your sleeping experience,
is your real Self, ever-shining pure Consciousness.
-Satprakashananda
True self is that which is not an object.
-Ken Wilber
The Self is being, not a being.
-Aurobindo Ghose
Self is only Being - not being this or that.
It is simple Being.
-Ramana Maharshi
The Self has no identity.
It is pure identity, Being itself...
It is devoid of any self-image.
-David Frawley
Get to know your real self.
It has no form, no appearance,
No root, no basis, no abode,
But it is lively.
-Linji
A self is not something static,
tied up in a pretty parcel and handed to the child,
finished and complete.
A self is always becoming.
-Madeline L'Engle
It is the Self
who has become all these becomings.
-Aurobindo Ghose
The Self is the emanator
of all that appears.
-G. A. Gaskell
This is the only true Self,
the babe that shall grow and become the universe.
-Christmas Humphreys
Meditate on the Self as being
Vast as the sky,
A body of energy
Extending forever in all directions -
Above, below, all around.
-Vijnana Bhairava Tantra
Everywhere you look is You,
Spread throughout time and space.
Everything you notice is a point
in the outline of the Big You.
Seeing your whole Self is fun;
it is almost child's play.
-Arnold Mindell
Knowing that the Pure Self is all-pervading,
As you will know, so shall you be.
-Lalla
The authentic self
is the soul made visible.
-Sarah Breathnach
The Self is pure consciousness.
-Ramana Maharshi
There is no difference
between the Supreme Self and the purified mind.
-Sivananda
The true self is a principle of pure consciousness
which is intrinsically and eternally free,
free beyond all psychic polarities.
-Haridas Chaudhuri
The true self is continuous and unchangeable.
The reincarnating ego belongs to a lower level,
mainly the world of thought.
It will be transcended through self-realization.
-Ramana Maharshi
For our real self is not the individual mental being,
that is only a figure, an appearance;
our real self is cosmic, infinite,
it is one with all existence and the inhabitant of all existence.
-Aurobindo Ghose
There is no distinction
between the Self and the spirit.
-Aurobino Ghose
To realise the Self
is to realise the freedom of the Spirit.
-Aurobindo Ghose
Know yourself as Nothing. Feel yourself as Everything. -Alan Watts
Honor your own Self.
Meditate on your own Self.
Worship your own Self.
Kneel to your own Self.
Understand your own Self.
Your God dwells within you as you.
-Muktananda
More radiant than the Sun, Purer than the snow, Subtler than the ether, Is the Self, The Spirit within my heart. I am that Self, That Self am I -Upanishads
