However mean your life is, meet it and live it.
-Henry David Thoreau
Those who are ignorant of the supreme purpose of life will never be able to attain nirvana (liberation) in spite of their observance of the vratas (vows) and niyamas (rules) of religious conduct and practice of shila (celibacy) and tapas (penance).
Only the person who knows how to strike a balance of mind can be happy and
successful in life. Sin - virtue, good - bad are the teachings which disturb the
equilibrium of our mind and unfortunately, these are the teachings which our
religious gurus and scriptures are giving us in abundance. As a result, only one
among millions is able to be happy and successful and that too, he who escapes
their clutches.
-Deep Trivedi
But if the sacrifice of his offering be a vow, or a voluntary offering, it shall be eaten the same day that he offers his sacrifice.
Sometimes, the only soul that can mend a broken heart is the one that broke it. For they are the ones holding all the pieces.
-Patti Roberts
They say religion is about love, but you wonder how much of it really is about fear.
-Deb Caletti
