When hope is hungry, everything feeds it.
-Mignon McLaughlin
If one fully understands the present moment, there will be nothing else to do, and nothing else to pursue.
Letting go of fear, attachment, grief and anger is the sannyasin’s renunciation. He savours only the taste of his oneness with the ultimate reality.
The Gods gave a microbe a drop of water, and in it he lived. They gave an ant a half acre of land, and he prospered. They gave a tiger the forest and he formed an empire and became an emperor. They gave man the Universe and all the knowledge therein. He entered of his own free will the dungeon of Dogma, shut his mind to truth and slew and starved his brothers.
To be free is not merely to cast off one’s chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others
