"A man should look for what is, and not for what he thinks should be.
Information is not knowledge."
***
"The true value of a human being is determined primarily by how he has attained liberation from the self."
***
"A human being is a part of the whole, called by us the "Universe," a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty." |

Hi Anthem,
Thank you for these quotes.
I always like the way he put things and he was a yogi.
quote:
"A human being is a part of the whole, called by us the "Universe," a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty."
A kind of optical illusion delusion of consciousness....
Pretty well sums things up.
A couple more:
"I am convinced that He(God) does not play dice."
"Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one."
Thanks again, yb. |
