Never follow anybody else's idea -- that is very dangerous because you will become imitative.
Always follow your own nature, self-nature; only then will you attain to freedom.
It is better to die following one's nature than to live following somebody's else's nature, because that will be a pseudo life.
To die following one's nature is beautiful, because that death too will be authentic.
If you live with alertness, you live rightly.
If you live in imitation, you live wrongly.
To me there is only one sin:
And that is not to be yourself.
And to me there is only one virtue:
And that is to know yourself.
Each individual's way is going to be different. Never follow anybody. That is the greatest calamity that can happen to a man. Once you start following somebody else, you become a carbon copy. You become an imitation.
Always follow your own nature, self-nature; only then will you attain to freedom.
It is better to die following one's nature than to live following somebody's else's nature, because that will be a pseudo life.
To die following one's nature is beautiful, because that death too will be authentic.
If you live with alertness, you live rightly.
If you live in imitation, you live wrongly.
To me there is only one sin:
And that is not to be yourself.
And to me there is only one virtue:
And that is to know yourself.
Each individual's way is going to be different. Never follow anybody. That is the greatest calamity that can happen to a man. Once you start following somebody else, you become a carbon copy. You become an imitation.
