Awareness:

Truth is the illuminator behind every thought. It is not something separate from us. As soon as the mind is hushed, truth is quickly uncovered.                                                 - His Holiness Swami Chinmayananda Is there anyone who is not aware of himself? Everyone knows and yet does not know. What a strange paradox!                                                                       -Sri Ramana Maharshi Awareness of the ways of desire is self-knowledge. That is the beginning of meditation.                                                                                   -J.Krishnamurti
