Quotes about True self

 You are a powerful, unlimited and eternal soul who is here to enjoy the experience of creativity and contribute to humanity's evolution.

Your true self will take over to the degree that you let go of your illusory self. It is that simple.

True Self is the Self that existed before the division of heaven and earth and before one's father and mother were born. This Self is the Self within me, the birds and the beasts, the grasses and the trees and all phenomena. It is excatly what is called 'Buddha Nature". 

This Self has no shape or form, has no birth, has no death. It is not a Self that can be seen with the aid of your present physical eye. Only the (hu)man who has received enlightenment is able to see this. The (hu)man who does see this is said to have seen into her own nature and became a Buddha. It is to use neither thought nor reasoning and to look straight ahead. - Takuan Soho (1573-1645), P81

Awakening is the process of overcoming your false self and discovering your True Self.  It begins when you decide to grab the tiger by the tail and ends with the tiger tenderly licking the sweat off your brow and face.

You cannot play with the animal in you without becoming wholly animal, play with falsehood without forfeiting your right to truth, play with cruelty without losing your sensitivity of mind.  He who wants to keep his garden tidy does not reserve a plot for weeds.

You never find the path to your true self, but rather, you find your true self along the path.
