Quote of the Day

"Compassion for animals is so closely connected with kindness that you can truly say that a person cannot be kind if he is cruel to animals. Compassion for animals comes from the same source as compassion toward people."
"If everything you do is result-oriented, your very existence becomes purely functional."
"The Kumbh Mela is an offshoot of Bhuta Shuddhi, a process to transform the elements within your system."
"The job of a Guru is not to interpret the scriptures but to take you to another dimension of life."
"The mind is a powerful instrument. A conscious, single-pointed thought will naturally manifest in the world."
"Nothing is accidental here. The whole physical existence is happening between cause and consequence."
"To live totally means to explore Life in its full depth and dimension."
"Technology, art, music, dance, spirituality, whatever you may call it – essentially, it is about life finding full exuberance."
"To die is to go where you came from. What is there? It must be good, judging by the wonderful beings that come from there, the children.
"
"Detachment (actions performed mechanically, unconsciously) is the basis of true life, the basis of moral perfection. Life is the striving for perfection. Man's accomplishments add to the domain of what is experienced, of habit, and man makes new efforts to add habits to the sphere of the unconscious. Struggle is always negative. Nor can it be otherwise, since life means liberation. Release takes place. Our life's work is to do nothing that opposes liberation. Therefore the deed is the awareness of life and combating everything that stands in its way. The effort that transforms something done into habit is the most important thing, the only work of life. Without effort, there is no human life, only animal life. Materialists are very right when, speaking of animal life, they reduce it to the struggle for existence and the formation of habits. But if we talk about human life, we have to explain its main quality, striving. What is striving from a materialistic point of view?
"
"When you deal with what is infinitely large or infinitely small, you reach no result.
"
"Compassion for animals is so natural to us that we can become insensitive to their suffering and death only through traditions or hypnosis."
"Fear God, do not torture animals. Let them serve you, and let them rest when they are tired; provide enough food and drink for those creatures which cannot speak."
"A person is not higher than other animals because he can mercilessly torture them, but because he can take pity on them."
"Do not allow your children to kill insects; this is the first step along a road which can lead to the killing of people."
On This Day
Truth...all that is useful to the world and good in practice.
If there were absolute truth or absolute error, we would have no notion of time, nor life, nor death, but only the notions of infinity, eternity, and nothingness.
You can't find poetry anywhere, when you don't carry it inside you.
People are delusional. Not long after, the better part of them is plowed into the ground, as fertilizer. As a result of compulsion commonly called necessity and mistakenly interpreted as fate, they deal with collecting treasures that - to use the words of an old book - will be eaten by moths and rust, and will become the prey of thieves and thieves. It is foolish to live like this, and everyone realizes this in the end, if not before.
Giving a book as a gift reinforces the feeling of friendship more than a vase or a glass, because it adds a sense of elevation to the concept of friendship.
