How Do You Know What You Know? Quotes Showing 1-7 of 7
“Why is our life the way it is? Why is it not better, or worse or different? The simple answer is ‘thoughts’. Life is the way it is because of the way we think. When we think differently, we perceive things differently. We behave differently. Rich people are rich because they think in that manner. Engineers are engineers because they think in that manner.  So too with artists. Sad people are sad because they think that way. And happy people think in happy ways.”
Dr. Janki Santoke, How Do You Know What You Know?: Manage Thoughts, Manage Life
“Knowledge is thought enlivened by Pure Consciousness. Thought by itself does not know. Consciousness by itself does not know. But when the two combine, there is knowledge.”
Janki Santoke, How Do You Know What You Know?: Manage Thoughts, Manage Life
“We must remember that our intellect itself is an
outgrowth of our vasanas (inherent nature). The
logic stems from our nature. The logic has not,
independently, formed a conclusion. Once we have a
conclusion it is very easy to build up logic to get to
that conclusion.”
Janki Santoke, How Do You Know What You Know?: Manage Thoughts, Manage Life
“Who can argue with perception? One can examine
only reasoning. A superior intellect is perceptive. It
sees what is right immediately. A lesser one will need
to work it out. A mother may know what is right
for the child, the child may need to learn and apply
himself to find the same truth. In the first, no effort
is necessary. But, in reasoning, one needs to apply
oneself.”
Janki Santoke, How Do You Know What You Know?: Manage Thoughts, Manage Life
“Our behavior maybe influencing others’ behavior and therefore our conclusions that ‘people are like that only’ are often the result of biased sampling.”

“Beyond the manas lies the buddhi, intellect. The intellect, buddhi, is discrimination, judgment, analysis, reason. Human redemption lies in the intellect.”
Janki Santoke, How Do You Know What You Know?: Manage Thoughts, Manage Life
“Irrational beliefs are of two types: Hiranyagarbha, the conditioned, how we are influenced by the world. Manas, the impulsive, how we are influenced by our own mind.”
