It was an irony of history that those who carried knowledge of how to expand the mind failed to expand their own minds,
‘Every action has consequences. Why blame the instrument of karma for what is determined by our own past actions?
Where there are no boundaries, there is no violation.’
demons are just humans we refuse to understand or tolerate. To reject them, as they reject us, is adharma,’
In nature, to get you have to give. There is no charity. There is no exploitation, neither selfishness nor selflessness.
‘Events are events. Humans qualify them as good or bad.’
Be the best you can be, in the worst of circumstances, even when no one is watching.’
No fate is worse than that where one is deprived of one’s freedom.
‘He who seeks to predict the future is insecure. He who seeks to control the future is insecure.
Impatience is the enemy of wisdom; it propels us to jump to conclusions, judge and condemn, rather than understand.’
‘Knowledge is like a floating log of wood that helps us stay afloat in the ocean of misery. To find the shore, we have to kick our legs and swim. No one can do that for us,’
When the mind is knotted in fear, the problem is always outside, never inside.
What was better: to be right or to be loyal? Both have consequences.
God is not an external trophy to be possessed; God is internal human potential to be realized.
Sorrow only comes when we resist reality, for a dream.’
Within infinite myths lies an eternal truth Who sees it all? Varuna has but a thousand eyes Indra, a hundred You and I, only two.
