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
I love to be alone. I never found the companion that was so companionable as solitude.

Hindu religion, where all gods are "kings" meaning the ones who look after the
interests of their subjects; how can that religion consider those who build palatial
ashrams from others donations, as religious?
-Deep Trivedi
In this world, the smallest of the particle or even a mosquito does not exist
without a reason. In this universe, if someone is living without any reason, it is
none other than a human being... But then there is no one more intelligent than
him either.
-Deep Trivedi
We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls.
-Mother Teresa
Every one of us has in him a continent of undiscovered character. Blessed is he who acts as Columbus to his own soul.

-Maya Angelou
