Having attained human birth, which is an open gateway to Brahmn, one who… remains attached to the ties of the world is not fit to be called human.
-Srimad Bhagavad Gita "Srimad Bhagavatam 11.3"
Having attained human birth, which is an open gateway to Brahmn, one who… remains attached to the ties of the world is not fit to be called human.
Since the day of my birth, my death began its walk. It is walking toward me, without hurrying.
-Jean Cocteau
He allowed himself to be swayed by his conviction that human beings are not born once and for all on the day their mothers give birth to them, but that life obliges them over and over again to give birth to themselves.
-Gabriel García Márquez
"Love in the Time of Cholera"
Everyone is born a king, and most people die in exile.
-Oscar Wilde
To awaken to the absolute view is profound and transformative, but to awaken from all fixed points of view is the birth of true non-duality.
