The bonds of thousands chains will vanish

When you lose all sense of self – the bonds of thousands chains will vanish…
Lose yourself completely. Return to the root of the root of your own soul.
- Rumi

Sandess gives roots. Happiness gives branches.

Sadness gives depth. Happiness gives height.
Sandess gives roots. Happiness gives branches.
Happiness is like a tree going into the sky,
And sadness is like the roots going down into the womb of the earth.
Both are needed, and the higher a tree goes, the deeper it goes, simultaneously.
The bigger the tree, the bigger will be its roots.
In fact, it is always in proportion. That’s its balance.
- Osho
