book of aphorisms by a Pakistani lawyer

Self

  1. What I say has been said before, but what I feel has not been felt before, because I have never been in this world before.
  2. Communion of self with life is beyond good and evil. I partake of cosmos in me.
  3. Self is awareness of the being between two oblivions and the recognition of oneness in sharing common destiny of man in death without despair and with equanimity in the presence of pain, sorrow and evil. An undaunted self creates its own meaning and value of this transient life, until relapse into nothingness.
  4. The best things of life come from within us, such as an incessant curiosity to know, an unremitting quest for truth and an unfailing tolerance for others’ opinions.
  5. I am never more elevated in spirit than when I have an inner conviction that I am right. I do not need others to tell me that I am right or wrong.
  6. There is no fragrance in flowers. It is in you.
  7. Living makes the mirror of perception misty. Clean it with the eye of wonder to know the self.
  8. What you seek is nowhere around you. lt is the self, dwelling deep in you.
  9. The end of knowing is awareness and the end of awareness is silence.
  10. Oneness is the awareness of a universe in me .
  11. Strive to be thought free and wake up in silence.
  12. A rose is an enchanting beauty of form, colour and. fragrance emanating from me.
  13. It is the emptiness within, which needs filling, but you must have the vessel of inclination for it.
  14. Accept yourself as you are without the qualms and illusions and without the reservations and regrets to save yourself from the nerve-wracking struggle for possessions and pride and to live a contented life.
  15. I like life. It tastes of me.
  16. See not, look Hear not, listen, Speak not, think.
  17. I am my self. I am not someone else’s construct of my self. In pain, despair and disease and in joy, elation and ecstasy, it is I who am immersed in suffering and exuberance. In me, while journeying towards nothingness, existence is essence.
  18. Think of the thinker who thinks and you will begin to glimpse the self.
  19. Those are joys reflected in the dewdrops, shining on the morning lawn.
  20. The cosmos can snugly fit in your self, if you reach out for it with a wondering heart.
  21. What I am is known to me alone. What compromises I make for the dear life sometimes surprise me, as I become stranger to myself.
  22. Suchness of life is accepting it, as it is, with awakened
  23. Intuition is experience in retrospect.
  24. We expect others to see us in the same flattering light in which we see ourselves and call it appreciation .
  25. I am a being of bonded atoms, performing mysterious chemical harmony and hormonal synergy in me to create a consciousness, which wants to know why life is so desireable and dissolves in a flash in the temporal flux of existence?
  26. Nexus between sense and sensibility for harmonious self is essential.
  27. Only a sophisticated self enjoys exquisite surprise to the senses. A base person, like a power drunk maniac, revels in shocks to emotions.
  28. My awareness of being imparts splendor to the cosmos. Without me is the deluge.
  29. The older I grow the younger I feel in becoming myself.
  30. If you have imagination, the stars will shine a path to your window.
