Think lightly of yourself
and deeply of the world.
Miyamoto Musashi, 1584 – 1645, Japanese swordsman and philosopher, author of The Book of Five Rings
You are what your deep, driving desire is.
As is your desire, so is your intention.
As is your intention, so is your will.
As is your will, so is your deed
As your deed is, so is your destiny,
Brihadaranyaka Upanishad, Hindu Scriptures, 7th-6th century BCE.
If there is no regarding of phenomena as “mine”
Then the self who suffers
is not constructed
