-Gautama Buddha "Gautama Buddha"
As the heat of a fire reduces wood to ashes, the fire of knowledge burns to ashes all karma. Nothing in this world purifies like spiritual wisdom. It is the perfection achieved in time through the path of yoga, the path which leads to the Self within.
-Srimad Bhagavad Gita "Bhagawvad Gita 4.37-38"
