He turned around to see one of the most magnificent sights he had ever seen. The mother lay almost unconscious behind his soldiers. Her eyes closing due to the tremendous loss of blood. Her body shivering desperately. Too terrified to even whimper. And yet, she stubbornly refused to give up her son. Her left hand still wrapped tight around him. Her body protectively positioned in front of her child. What a mother!
‘The masculine way of life is “life by laws”.
‘The feminine way of life is “life by probabilities”.
Indians worshipped over thirty million gods.
‘They call it the Vishwanath temple,’
Standing by and doing nothing while a sin is committed is as bad as committing the sin yourself.
But sometimes, the only way to prevent a grave wrong is to commit a small wrong.
Believe the theory that gives you peace and reject the one that causes you pain.
Truth doesn’t have to be liked. It only has to be spoken. Speak it out. The truth may hurt you, but it will set you free.
There is a god in every single one of us. And there is evil in every single one of us. The true battle between good and evil is fought within.
Always remember this. You don’t live with the consequences of other people’s karma. You live with the consequences of your own.’
‘My child, your destiny is much larger than these massive mountains. But in order to realise it, you will have to cross these very same massive mountains.’
‘I personally need nothing, Your Highness. Everything in the world is maya, an illusion. The ultimate truth one has to realise is that we actually need nothing. Because to possess an illusion is as good as possessing nothing.’

Remember nobody is good or bad. They are either strong or weak. Strong people stick to their morals, no matter what the trials and tribulations.
Weak people, many a times, do not even realise how low they have sunk.’
‘Justice exists for the good of the universe. To maintain balance. It does not exist to ignite hatred among humans.
That the opposite of love is not hate. Hate is just love gone bad. The actual opposite of love is apathy. When you don’t care a damn as to what happens to the other person.’
