If you are seeking the limitless as something other than yourself, you seek limitlessly.

Swami Dayananda Saraswati

You are the problem. You are the solution.

Swami Dayananda Saraswati

If you don’t do what is to be done, you will do what is not to be done.

Swami Dayananda Saraswati

The difference between limited and unlimited is limitless.

Swami Dayananda Saraswati

The moment I say “I don’t want to become”, “I am not what I think I am”, the journey has started..
