Quotes...

Some quotes i've always loved...

“Those who drink get drunk;
Those who are drunk go off to sleep;
Those who are asleep do not sin;
Those who do not sin go to heaven;
Therefore those who drink go to heaven;
So let us all drink and go to heaven.” - Anonymous

"I have had an experience far greater than all the impulses i normally obeyed. i didn't water it and so it vanished. That was it. that was all anyone could want, need, desire, anytime, anywhere, at anyplace. It was where my purpose, my goal, my spirit lied. But slowly it vanished; in the depths of time, in the darkness of doing, in the complexities of being...." - Meetings with remarkable men.

- “The human mind is capable of excitement without the application of gross and violent stimulants; and he must have a very faint perception of its beauty and dignity who does not know this.” – William Wordsworth

-"When stark economic contrast between the slums and the rich is visible to naked eye; when the advancement in science shatters strongly held religious beliefs; when mental agony of questions about death scorches the mind; or when “success” is realized to be yet another dream; then the mind turns inwards. But when an inward search for the Truth results in utter confusion and fear of the physical world, the answer comes, “Stand as a rock; you are indestructible. You are the Self, the God of the universe.” Swami Vivekananda.

- "As we look deeply within, we understand our perfect balance. There is no fear of the cycle of birth, life and death. For when you stand in the present moment, you are timeless." Rodney Yee

“Today’s education researches the past to develop the future. It fails to rejoice in the Present, failing to uplift the Spirit and the Soul, making life a drudgery than an instance of Enlightenment.” - Myself!
