Marine Biologist. Poet. I AM Self though at times i seek.

If you know your being, there is no question of becoming. All that you could have ever imagined to become you already are. You are gods who have forgotten who they are. You are emperors who have fallen asleep and are dreaming that they have become beggars. Now beggars are trying to become emperors, in dreams they are making great efforts to become emperors, and all that is needed is to wake up!

—Osho (via lazyyogi)

Self is what you are. You are That Fathomlessness in which experience and concepts appear. Self is the moment which has no coming or going. It is the Heart, Atman, Emptiness. It shines to Itself, by Itself, in Itself. Self is what gives breath to life, you need not search for it. It is Here. You are That through which you would search. You are what you are looking for! And That is all it is. Only Self is.

—Papaji (via lazyyogi)

What I am really saying is that you don’t need to do anything, because if you see yourself in the correct way, you are all as much extraordinary phenomena of nature as trees, clouds, the patterns in running water, the flickering of fire, the arrangement of the stars, and the form of a galaxy. You are all just like that, and there is nothing wrong with you at all.

It matters not how straight the gate, how charged with punishments the scroll. I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul.

You must concentrate upon and consecrate yourself wholly to each day, as though a fire were raging in your hair
