Awareness(6):

Love yourself and watch -today, tomorrow, always.

Love yourself.

Just the opposite has been taught to you by all the traditions of the world. All the civilization, all the cultures, all the churches.

Love is the nourishment for the soul, just as food is to the body, so love is to the soul.

Love makes you rebellious, revolutionary. Love gives you wings to soar high. Love gives you insight into things, so that nobody can deceive you, exploit you, oppress you.

A man who loves himself finds that there is no ego in him. It is by loving others without loving yourself, trying to love others, that the ego arises.

Love knows nothing of duty. Duty is a burden, a formality. Love is a joy, a sharing. Love is informal. The lover never feels that he has done enough. The lover always feels that more was possible.

The man of duty thinks,"I am higher, spiritual, extraordinary. Look how i serve people!"
