The Value of Values Quotes

“When I claim, as my standards, values in which I fail to see any personal gain, I am in as risky a position insofar as expressing those values, as were the parrots in the tree, mindlessly repeating the words. Enjoined or obligatory values will become assimilated personal values only when I see their value for me clearly and assimilate these values in terms of knowledge. For the person with assimilated ethical values, life becomes very simple. No conflicts cloud his or her mind. For such a person, the teaching of Vedanta is like the meeting of gas and fire; knowledge ignites in a flash.”
― Dayananda Saraswati, The Value of Values
