Poets utter great and wise things which they do not themselves understand.
-Plato
Intelligent is not the one who has higher degrees or is knowledgeable about
numerous subjects, but the one who knows his limits...meaning who is well
aware of his strengths and weaknesses.
-Deep Trivedi
Above the cloud with its shadow is the star with its light. Above all things reverence thyself.
Self-inquiry is the process and the goal also. ‘I am’ is the goal and the final reality. To hold to it with effort is self-inquiry. When spontaneous and natural it is realisation.
Fast regularly and help the body heal itself and stay well. Give all of your organs a rest. Fasting can help reverse the aging process, and if we use it correctly, we will live longer, happier lives.
The guru cannot awaken you; all that he can do is to point out what is. The guru can give you words; he can give you an explanation, the symbols of the mind, but the symbol is not the real, and if you are caught in the symbol, you will never find the way.
Faith is to believe what we do not see; and the reward of this faith is to see what we believe.
-Saint Augustine of Hippo
He who created us without our help will not save us without our consent.
-Saint Augustine of Hippo
