Quotations

If you want to understand the teachings of Buddha, Krishna, Jesus or any great
philosopher, you will have to learn to differentiate and dissect their sayings
in two parts, one, 'eternal truth' and second, 'the truth relevant at that time'.
Without distinguishing the two, you will invariably end up misunderstanding their
sayings.
Why did the intelligent people of the world lose interest in religion? Because
instead of the talks and teachings of Buddha, Jesus and Krishna, they were

helping is useless. In that case, you must understand that your help was merely
a means to satiate your ego.
'Being child-like' is the most wonderful quality of a human being which is not
worth leaving till the last breath of life. But children who from a very young age
are habituated to being serious, even God will refuse to help them.
All the knowledge possessed by science regarding the human body is based
on probabilities. Whilst, many cancer patients are the ones who have abstained
from tobacco lifelong...majority of the heart attacks are suffered by those who
do not have high cholesterol levels.
