“The path of self-realisation is the most difficult. -We acquire a sense of worth either by realising our talents, or by keeping busy, or by identifying ourselves with something apart from us - be it a cause, a leader, a group, possessions, and the like. Of the three, the path of self-realisation is the most difficult. It is taken when other avenues to a sense of worth are more or less blocked.”

When you have that you will know that there are no limits.”

The doers said,
"Maybe, but we'll try,"
And finally soared
In the morning glow
While non-believers
