Kindle Notes & Highlights
Ekam Sat Vipra Bahudha Vadanti. Truth is one, though the sages know it as many. God is one, though different religions approach Him differently. Call Him Shiva, Vishnu, Allah, Jesus or any other form of God that you believe in. Our paths may be different. Our destination is the same.
‘You know what makes humans special when compared to animals?’ asked the Pandit. ‘What?’ asked Shiva. ‘The fact that we work together. We collaborate to achieve combined goals.

Do you believe there is nothing random in the universe? That everything exists for a reason. That everything serves a purpose. Yes. If anything appears random, it only means that we haven’t discovered its purpose just as yet.
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.’
