A Thing Called ‘Self’

Of all sciences, the greatest science

is the knowledge of your own self.

—S. Radhakrisnan

Gracious one play, your head is an empty shell
Wherein your mind frolics infinitely.
—An Old Sanskrit proverb

The river says
“I am the pure water
That quenches the thirst of the earth”;
The sea remains silent saying to itself,
“The river is mine.”
—K. Gibran

There the eye goes not,
Speech goes not, nor the mind.
We know not, we understand not
How one would teach it
—The Upanishads
