Just an intention to be free makes you immediately free.
-Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.
-Nelson Mandela
Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them humanity cannot survive.
-Dalai Lama
Irrevocable commitment to any religion is not only intellectual suicide; it is positive Unfaith because it closes the mind to any new vision of the world. Faith is, above all, openness — an act of trust in the unknown.
-Alan Watts
You know quite well, deep within you, that there is only a single magic, a single power, a single salvation...and that is called loving. Well, then, love your suffering. Do not resist it, do not flee from it. It is your aversion that hurts, nothing else.
-Hermann Hesse
The amount of money, time and energy Indians spend on 'religion' in order
to attain peace and prosperity, the same if spent on researches in the field of
Science, India can really become a happy and prosperous nation.
-Deep Trivedi
