-Desiderius Erasmus
Meditating on the lotus of your heart, in the centre is the untainted, the exquisitely pure, clear and sorrowless, the inconceivable, the unmanifest, of infinite form, blissful, tranquil, immortal, the womb of Brahma.
When one experiences truth, the madness of finding fault with others disappears.

The trouble is if you don’t spend your life yourself, other people will spend it for you.
-Peter Shaffer

-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
