He who says he is bound, bound he shall remain. To me, the thought of oneself as low and humble is a sin and ignorance.
"नायमात्मा बलहीनेन लभ्य -- this Atman is not to be attained by one who is weak." "अस्ति ब्रह्म वदसि चेदस्ति, नास्ति ब्रह्म वदसि चेन्नास्त्येव भविष्यति -- if you say Brahman is , existence will be the result; if you say Brahman is not , non-existent It shall verily become."
He who always thinks of himself as weak will never become strong, but he who knows himself to be a lion, "निर्गच्छति जगज्जालात् पिन्जरादिव केशरी -- rushes out from the world's meshes, as a lion from its cage."

from US (1895)
