Can you see that the one which you call ‘myself’ is full of contradictions. Its not just your self. Everybody’s self is that way.
We like certain things about our Self and we do not like other things about our self.
So in this situation can you see the futility of loving your Self. Its impossible. One cannot love oneself all the time. That is because what we call our Self comes from the outside. This self is made of all the opinions that you have gathered and labelled it as you since the time you came into this world. These opinions would have been either good or bad. But these were just opinions. And opinions are never real.
Hence whatever you feel about yourself is the collective opinion of all the experiences you have had in life.
But is this the real you? Have you ever questioned that?
You are not the self which you think to be. So start your search of the real you which is underneath this mind, the thoughts, the feelings.
Finding out the real you is possible if you start looking.
Only then a complete change is possible
