“So beyond all the things that you identify yourself with, still there is something called as 'you”
Sadhguru (1957) Yogi, mystic, visionary and humanitarian
Eve's Times, June 16, 2009
Sourced from newspapers and magazines
Context: Even if I erase all your memory, still you will be here. Yes? Your family will disappear, your status will disappear, your business will disappear, everything that you own in the world will disappear. But still you are here. So beyond all the things that you identify yourself with, still there is something called as 'you'. That 'you' is not subject to what you accumulate from outside. But unfortunately that 'you' has been so much covered, so much crowded with other things that you never allowed yourself to look at that. You always thought that what you are identified with is much more important than who you really are. Now if your focus shifts, then the other dimension can start opening up for you.
“A pity beyond all telling
Is hid in the heart of love”
W.B. Yeats (1865–1939) Irish poet and playwright
The Pity Of Love http://poetry.poetryx.com/poems/1670/; in recent years a statement which might have originated as a misquotation of the first lines of this has been attributed to Oscar Wilde: "To give and not expect return, that is what lies at the heart of love." — no occurrence prior to 1999 has yet been located. <br class="br">The Rose (1893) <br class="br">Context: A pity beyond all telling<br>Is hid in the heart of love:<br>The folk who are buying and selling,<br>The clouds on their journey above,<br>The cold wet winds ever blowing,<br>And the shadowy hazel grove<br>Where mouse-grey waters are flowing,<br>Threaten the head that I love.
