To be a self-sovereign is to be in control. The one who is a self- sovereign never finds difficulty in being in control. He doesn't have to go out of control and then bring himself back in control. The moment the order is given to the self, every thought, word and action is immediately in order. To be a self-sovereign means to be aware of our specialities and work with them. When we are a self-sovereign we experience ourselves to be free. This is because nothing binds us but we are able to win over our weaknesses too. Thus we find ourselves to be in total happiness in all situations.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.
