You may control a mad elephant; You may shut the mouth of the bear and the tiger; Ride the lion and play with the cobra; By alchemy you may earn your livelihood; You may wander through the universe incognito; Make vassals of the gods; be ever youthful; You may walk on water and live in fire; But control of the mind is better and more difficult.
-A Spiritual Leader
True realisation of the actual nature of this material world, its perishable, transitory and illusory aspects best dawns on a person in suffering.
-A Spiritual Leader
Without God, life is like a school without a teacher. It is a wire with no current passing through it; it is a body with no soul.
-Sathya Sai Baba
Familiarity with books is not knowledge. One’s entire life is a continuous process of learning.
-Sathya Sai Baba
I’m not interested in the well-being of society because society is a big lie. Where is society? I only see individual beings and only the individual can grow. Each one is enormous and tremendous in their own way - each one is unique.
-Jaggi Vasudev “Sadhguru”
The trouble is not that I am single and likely to stay single, but that I am lonely and likely to stay lonely.
-Charlotte Brontë
Live in the world like a waterfowl. The water clings to the bird, but the bird shakes it off. Live in the world like a mudfish. The fish lives in the mud, but its skin is always bright and shiny.
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
