Quote by Ashraf Karayath

“Sage Yajanvalkya's advice to King Janaka: "When everything in the world fails to support you, and when nobody is around to speak to you, you must depend on the illumination that comes from within. Only then will you realize that your Self is your light and your Self your strength, and that there is nothing except your Self when everything else in the world fails.”
