One whose knowledge is confined to books and whose wealth is in the possession of others , can use neither his Knowledge nor wealth when the need for them arises .
Chanakya Niti 39
Those who read books cannot understand the teachings and , what's more , may even go astray . But those who try to observe the things going on in the mind , and always take that which is ture in their own minds as their standard ; never get muddled .
Buddhadasa Bhikkhu
Soul receives from soul that knowledge , therefore , not by book , nor from tongue . If knowledge of mysteries comes after emptiness of mind , that is illumination of heart .
Jalaluddin rumi
Correcting oneself is correcting the whole world .The sun is simply bright . It does not correct anyone . because the Sun shines , the whole world is full of light . Transforming yourself is a means of giving light to the whole world .
Ramana Maharshi
The sun signifies knowledge , spiritual light and wisdom...Makar Sankranti signifies that we should turn away from the darkness of delusion in which we live , and begin to joyously let the light within us shine brighter and brighter .
Swami Sivanada
In many a form of goodness, O Love , you show your face . Grant that these forms may penetrate within our heart . send elsewhere all malice !
Atharva Veda
Be good and all will leave you . And i am good only when i am one with my self . And in that goodness all my negative emotions leave me . I don't leave them .
Indu Jain
Love , tust , beauty , sincerity , truthfulness , authenticity - these are all feminine qualities , and thay are far greater than any qualities that man has .
Osho
when the era of masculine dominance comes to an end a feminine understanding of life's wholeness is included ,experience a different world in which physical , mental and spiritual wellbeing are interdependent .
Llewellyn Vaughan -Lee
If we are looking for change in this world-from a physical and spiritual stand - point - it will never happen until we restore honour to women...nothing new will be created . If we don't do it , we as a species are done for .
