What is the wisdom that you should achieve? It is the giving up of body (identification), the escape from the belief that 'you' are the 'body'. You say, 'my hand, 'my foot', just as you say, 'my watch', 'my shoe'; but, yet feel you are the body. Examine the reality of the body, and escape from this false identification - that is the hall-mark of Jnaana (wisdom). The 'I' that sees, experiences, feels, knows - that 'I' is the Paramaathma (Supreme Soul).

- Divine Discourse, December 12, 1964.

The spiritual edifice is built on the foundation of self-satisfaction.
Self-sacrifice is the roof. Self-realisation is fulfilment in life. - Baba
