The union of two hearts is a veritable sacred scriptural rite.
-Swami Sivananda
Without an ever-present sense of death, life is insipid. You might as well live on the whites of eggs.
Each man is a microcosm of the universe. Your body is made of all the elements of the world. Nature supplied all the ingredients that make your body, which means that the universe made you by donating itself. You could accurately say that you are a small walking universe that can move, whereas the cosmic universe is stationary.
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
There is nothing that war has ever achieved that we could not better achieve without it
-Havelock Ellis
The unsuccessful person falls for the ritualistic hypocrisies of religion. Such
hypocrisies give birth to false hopes, and false hopes lead to performing wrong
deeds. Wrong karma induces more sorrows; and more the miseries, more the
person falls for religious hypocrisies. Such a sorry state of human beings is
solely owed to being trapped in this vicious circle.
-Deep Trivedi
There is nothing like returning to a place that remains unchanged to find the ways in which you yourself have altered.
-Nelson Mandela
