The author himself is the best judge for his performance.
-Edward Gibbon

-L. M. Montgomery
You cannot unconditionally love someone. You can only be unconditional love.... You don’t love another, you are another.
-Stephen Levine
Above all, let us never forget that an act of goodness is in itself an act of happiness. It is the flower of a long inner life of joy and contentment; it tells of peaceful hours and days on the sunniest heights of our soul.
This is peace, this is excellent, namely the calm of all impulses, the casting out of all “basis”, the extinction of craving, dispassion, stopping-nirvana.
It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.
-Antoine De Saint Exupéry
Sin - virtue, respect - disrespect, good - bad, success - failure, are all divisions
created by the brain. At the level of mind, they are nothing but useless notions.
-Deep Trivedi
The devotee engages to the best of his ability into the play of life, fulfilling his role on this earth as student, employee, husband, wife, parent, neighbor, and community servant. But at the heart of the devotee is a burning desire for the Lord.
