Human life is influenced by seven elements - the laws of existence, his own
nature, his brain, mind, heart, DNA and his own set of experiences. No eighth
element or reason influences him even a bit.
-Deep Trivedi
Quotations
Life
Those who see all creatures within themselves, and themselves in all creatures know no fear. Those who see all creatures in themselves, and themselves in all creatures know no grief. How can the multiplicity of life, delude the one who sees its unity?
-Isha Upanishad "Isha Upanishad 6-7"
No one who does good deeds will ever come to a bad end, either here or in the world to come. When such people die, they go to other realms where the righteous live.
-Srimad Bhagavad Gita "Bhagwad Gita 6.40-41"
Learn to enjoy every minute of your life. Be happy now. Don’t wait for something outside of yourself to make you happy in the future.
-Earl Nightingale "Earl Nightingale"
The best thing to hold onto in life is each other.
-Audrey Hepburn
That it will never come again is what makes life so sweet.
-Emily Dickinson
Life is full of chances and changes, and the most prosperous of men may… meet with great misfortunes.
-Aristotle
Every one of us is losing something precious to us. Lost opportunities, lost possibilities, feelings we can never get back again. That’s part of what it means to be alive.
-Haruki Murakami
"Kafka on the Shore"
We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light.
-Plato
It is a good practice to set apart at least one day in a year for the remembrance of one’s near and dear relatives, friends and learned people that are no more in keeping with our traditions; giving a new orientation to and infusing new life into practices that have become lifeless and meaningless to many.
-Scriptures "The Concise Encyclopaedia of Hinduism"
