PETER ERBE The caterpillar trusts his maker that all is well. He does not ding to his old garment and thus is transformed into a magnificent butterfly There is no pain, it is a natural transmutation. So it is with us. As the chrysalis is the bridge between caterpillar arid butterfly so is True perception the bridge between separation and Oneness. We are transmuting into a new state of Being. Clinging to our caterpillar stage, our old ways of judgment, we shall never learn to fly into the dawn of a new day.

Time is totally perishable and cannot be stored. Yesterday's time is gone forever, and will never come back. Time is always in short supply there is no substitute for time. Everything requires time. AH work takes place in, and uses up time. Yet most people take for granted this unique, irreplaceable and necessary resource.

PETER RUSSELL Inner evolution is not an aside to the overall process of evolution. Conscious inner evolution is the particular phase of evolution that we, in our corner of the universe, are currently passing through. From this perspective, the movement towards a social super organism and the mystical urge to know an inner unity are complementary aspects of the same single process, the thrust of evolution towards higher degrees of wholeness.

PRIMO LEVI The bond between a man and his profession is similar to that which ties him to his country; it is just as complex, often ambivalent, and in general it is understood completely only when it is broken: by exile or emigration in the case of one's country, by retirement in the case of a trade or profession.

Nature is saturated with the Divine Life of Ahura Mazda.

PURANANOORU All towns are one, all men our kin. Life's good comes not from others' gift, nor ill Man's pain and pain relief are from within. Death's no new thing; nor do we get Overwhelmed When Joyous life seems like a luscious draught. When grieved, we patiently suffer; for, we deem This much-praised life of ours a fragile raft Borne down the waters of some mountain stream... We marvel not at greatness of the great; Still less despise we , men of low estate.

QHERIE CARTER-SCOTT We do not all walk around with our hearts wide open all the time, however; doing so would leave us overwhelmed and in emotional danger. If I kept my heart open and exposed while watching the news every night, I would most likely never recover from the rush of helpless and hopeless feelings created by all the tragic stories.

The key to learning the lesson of compassion is realising that you are in control of the erection or destruction of those barriers that create distance between you and others.

R CHOUDURY -If we do not crave for rewards we have no reason for frustration. This does not mean that we lose our motivation to work.

To get a clearer, more objective perspective we have to step aside from our personal involvement to an impersonal level of detachment. Detachment is not indifference or apathy it means putting action (karma) into a broader perspective, away from petty gains. Carry out karma for its own sake with single-pointed effort (yoga) and you; will be free to enjoy total job satisfaction.

R R SAMUEL BECKETT Every word is like m unnecessary stain on silence and nothingness.

R REYNOLDS Few of us realise how short the career of what we know as "science" has been. Three hundred and fifty years ago hardly anyone believed in the Copernican planetary theory Optical combinations were not discovered. The circulation of blood, the weight of air, the conduction of heat, the laws of motion were unknown; the common pump was inexplicable; there were no clocks, no thermometers; no general gravitation; the world was five thousand years old; spirits moved the planets; alchemy, magic, astrology imposed on everyone's belief.

R. S. BALASEKAR When man accepts finally that he cannot make sense out of life on the basis of anything fixed, then and only then can life make sense.

RABINDRA NATH TAGORE - We gain freedom when we have paid the full price.

RABINDRA NATH TAGORE Why did I present myself in this fashion? This is self mockery.

RABINDRA NATH TAGORE Life is perpetually creative because it contains in itself that surplus which ever overflows the boundaries of the immediate time and space, restlessly pursuing its adventure of expression in the varied forms of self-realisation.

RABINDRA NATH TAGORE Awake my mind, gently awake in this holy land of pilgrimage on the shore of this vast sea of humanity , that is India. Here I stand with arms outstretched to hail man divine in his own image and sing to his glory in notes glad and free. No one knows whence and at whose call came pouring endless inundations of men rushing madly alongto lose themselves in the sea; Aryans and non-Aryans, Dravidians and Chinese, Scythians, Huns, Pathans and Moghuls all are mixed, merged and lost in one body. Now the door has opened to the West and gifts in hand they beckon and they come they will give and take, meet and bring together, none shall be turned away from the shore of this vast sea of humanity that is India.

RABINDRA NATH TAGORE Art should not reproduce what we see. It should make us see. Chinese proverb what is Art? It is the response of man's creative soul to the call of the Real.

RABINDRA NATH TAGORE Death belongs to life as birth does. The walk is in the raising of the fast as in the laying of it down.

RABINDRA NATH TAGORE Depth of friendship does not depend on length of acquaintance.

RABINDRA NATH TAGORE Diverse courses of worship/ from varied springs of fulfillment, Have mingled in your meditation. / The manifold revelation of the joy of the Infinite, Has given form to a shrine of unity in your life. / Where from far and near arrive salutations, / to which I join mine own.

RABINDRA NATH TAGORE If they heed not thy call, Walk alone, walk alone.

RABINDRA NATH TAGORE In the Upanishads we find the note of certainty about the spiritual meaning of existence. In the very paradoxical nature of the assertion that we can never know Brahma, but can realise Him, there lies the strength of conviction that comes from personal experience. They aver that through our joy we know the reality that is infinite, for the test by which reality is apprehended is joy Therefore, in the Upanishads Satyam and Anandam are one.

RABINDRA NATH TAGORE India chose her places of pilgrimages on the top of hills and mountains, by the side of the holy rivers, in the heart of forests and by the shores of the ocean, which along with the sky, is our nearest visible symbol of the vast, the boundless, the T.

RABINDRA NATH TAGORE It is the pang of separation that spreads throughout the world and gives birth to shapes innumerable in the infinite sky. It is this sorrow of separation that gazes in silence all night from star to star and becomes lyric among rustling leaves in rainy darkness of July It is this overspreading pain that deepens into loves and desires, into sufferings and joys in human homes; and this it is that ever melts and flows in songs through my poet's heart.

RABINDRA NATH TAGORE Just as we do not need help in order to breathe, nor do we hold meetings at the Town Hall for our blood circulation, similarly, in the past, the samaj looked after its own needs... It did not have .to depend on the state.

RABINDRA NATH TAGORE Know not how thou singest, my master! I ever listen in silent amazement. The light of thy music illumines the world. The life breath of thy music runs from sky to sky the holy stream of thy music breaks through all stony obstacles and rushes on. My heart longs to join in thy song, but vainly struggles for a voice. I would speak. But speech breaks not into song, and I carry out baffled. Ah, thou hast made my heart captive in the endless meshes of thy music, my master!

RABINDRA NATH TAGORE Let me not pray to be sheltered from dangers, but to be fearless in facing them./ Let me not beg for the stilling of my pain, but for the heart to conquer it.

RABINDRA NATH TAGORE Power takes as ingratitude the writhing of its victims.

RABINDRA NATH TAGORE Praise shames me, for I secretly beg for it.

RABINDRA NATH TAGORE The butterfly counts not months but moments, and has time enough.

RABINDRA NATH TAGORE The greed of gain has no time or limit to its capaciousness. Its one object is to produce and consume. It has pity neither for beautiful nature nor for living human beings. It is ruthlessly ready without a moment's hesitation to crush beauty and life out of them, moulding them into money.

RABINDRA NATH TAGORE The higher nature in man always seeks for something which transcends itself and yet is its deepest truth; which claims all its sacrifice, yet makes this sacrifice its own recompense. This is man's dharma, man's religion, and man's self is the vessel.

RABINDRA NATH TAGORE The same stream of life that runs through my veins night and day runs through the world and dances in rhythmic measures. It is the same life that shouts in joy through the dust of the earth in numberless blades of grass and breaks into tumultuous waves of leaves and flowers.

RABINDRA NATH TAGORE The setting sun said: "Who win take up my work?" The world heard this and yet remained responseless like a picture. There was an earthen lamp. It said: I "Lord! I will exert myself to my utmost".

RABINDRANATH TAGORE The butterfly counts not months but moments, and has time enough.

RABINDRANATH TAGORE The child learns so easily because he has a natural gift, but adults, because they are tyrants, ignore natural gifts and say that children must learn through the same process that they learned by We insist upon forced mental feeding and our lessons become a form of torture. This is one of man's most cruel and wasteful mistakes.

RABINDRANATH TAGORE The emancipation of our physical nature is in attaining health, of our social being in attaining goodness, and of our self in attaining love.

RABINDRANATH TAGORE The higher nature in man always seeks for something which transcends itself and yet is its deepest truth; which claims all its sacrifice, yet makes this sacrifice its own recompense. This is man's dharma and religion, and man's self is the vessel which is to carry this sacrifice to the altar.

RABINDRANATH TAGORE The man whose acquaintance with the world does not lead him deeper than science leads him, will never understand what it is that the man with the spiritual vision finds in these natural phenomena... When a man... meets the eternal spirit in all objects, then is he emancipated, for then he discovers the fullest significance of the world into which he is born; then he finds himself in perfect truth, and his harmony with the All is established.

RABINDRANATH TAGORE The Taj Mahal is like an eternal teardrop on the cheek of time.

RABINDRANATH TAGORE The water in a vessel is sparkling; the water in the sea is dark. The small truth has words which are clear; the great truth has great silence.

RABINDRANATH TAGORE This is my prayer to thee, my Lord; Give me strength rightly to bear my joys and sorrows; Give me the strength to make my love fruitful in service; Give me the strength never to disown the poor or bend my knees before insolent might.

RABINDRANATH TAGORE Trees are meant to be the earth's endless effort to speak to the listening heaven.

RABINDRANATH TAGORE What is Art? It is the response of man's creative soul to the call of the Real.

RABINDRANATH TAGORE When we watch a child trying to walk, we see its countless failures; its successes are but few. If we had to limit our observation within a narrow space of time, the sight would be cruel.

RABINDRANATH TAGORE You are invited to the festival of this world and. your life is blessed.

RABINDRANATH TAGORE You yourself are your own obstacle.

RACHEL CARSON If a child is to keep his inborn sense of wonder, he needs the companionship of at least one adult who can share it, rediscovering with him the joy, excitement and mystery of the world we live in.

RACHEL CARSON In an age when man has forgotten his origins and is blind even to his most essential needs for survival, water along with other resources has become the victim of his indifference.

RACHEL CARSON Natural beauty has a necessary place in the spiritual development of any individual or society. Whenever we destroy beauty, or whenever we substitute something man-made and artificial for a natural feature of the earth, we have retarded some part of man's spiritual growth.

RACHEL CARSON The more clearly we can focus our attention on the wonders and realities of the universe, the less taste we shall have for destruction.

RACHEL CARSON We cannot have peace among men whose hearts delight in killing any living creature.

RACHEL CARSON We stand now where two roads diverge... The road we have long been travelling is deceptively easy, a smooth superhighway on which we progress with great speed, but at its end lies disaster. The other fork of the road, the one less travelled by, offers our last, our only chance to reach a destination that assures the preservation of the earth.

RACHEL NAOMI REMEN Healing may not be so much about getting better, as about letting go of everything that isn't you all of the expectations, all of the beliefs and becoming who you are.

RACHEL NAOMI REMEN Health is not an end: it is a means. Health enables us to serve our purpose in life, but it is not the purpose of life. Perhaps reconnecting to the purpose that we each serve may be the most powerful way to heal.

RACHEL NAOMI REMEN I have come to suspect that healing is more closely related to mystery than mastery, more a function of the soul than the mind.

RAE NOEL Whenever the human adventure reaches great and complete expression, we can be sure it is because someone has dared to be his unaverage self.

RAFAAEL ORTIZ Love is not finding someone to live with; its finding someone you cant live without.

RAFAELBRAS You'll never be able to control nature. The best way is to understand how nature works and make it work in our favour.

RAHIM It is in your power to do karma, but we do not have any control over its success.

RAHMAN BABA Live not with thy head showing in the clouds, Thou art by birth the offspring of this earth, The stream that passed the sluice cannot again flow back, Nor can again return the misspent time that sped, Consider well the deeds of the good and bad, Whether in this thy profit lieth or in that.

RAHUL GANDHI I have heard my father telling my mother that he would have stood in front of the masjid to protect it.

RAIMUNDO PANIKKAR The entire purport of the Vedas is liberation or freedom. Freedom may be interpreted in many ways. It is Brahmn, it is atman, it is nirvana. Or it can be said to consist in being, in happiness, in release, from all bondage. More numerous still are the ways that are supposed to lead to it. Right action, true knowledge and genuine love are the classical ways.

RAINER MARIA RILKE It s possible that the whole history of the world has been misunderstood? Yes, t is possible.

RAJA YOGI B K JAGDISH CHANDER There is diminishing of happiness when any thought of envy or hatred creeps in. But when the wise man feels the oncoming of such a feeling, he should remember that if portends his fall. Greatness consists in philanthropy, large-heartedness, magnanimity and goodwill towards all.

RAJA YOGI RAJA YOGI B K JAGDISH CHANDER Though man has language as a potent means of expression, and he has the intellect also to argue his case and to convince others, yet man ultimately uses the ways of the animals who... do not have language and reason as their means to seek justice... So, the lesson I learn from history, is that man does not learn lesson from history.

RAJAN -In this vastness there is place for space and much more. In this eternity there is place for time and the chimes of its measure. In the depth of the deep there is space for the light to enter but not the door to escape. In the roaming mind, there is space for the quietude by tapas of fortitude. In the emerald blue silence there is space for awareful existence of the fullness of ananda. In awareness there is the melody of the music of the spheres pulsating with cosmic life heard only in silence. In consciousness, you and I are nowhere or everywhere vibrant in the soft whisper of the fathomless silence. If only we listen.

PETER DEVRIES The difficulty with marriage is that we fall in love with a personality, but must live with a character.

PETER DRUCKER In all recorded history there has not been one economist who has had to worry about where the next meal would come from.

PETER DRUCKER It was naive of the 19th century optimists to expect paradise from technology and it is equally naive of the 20th century pessimists to make technology the scapegoat for such old shortcomings as man's cruelty, immaturity, greed and sinful pride.

PETER DRUCKER Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things.

PETER ERBE The caterpillar trusts his maker that all is well. He does not ding to his old garment and thus is transformed into a magnificent butterfly There is no pain, it is a natural transmutation. So it is with us. As the chrysalis is the bridge between caterpillar arid butterfly so is True perception the bridge between separation and Oneness. We are transmuting into a new state of Being. Clinging to our caterpillar stage, our old ways of judgment, we shall never learn to fly into the dawn of a new day.

PETER F DRUCKER Follow effective action with quiet reflection. From the quiet reflection will come even more effective action.?

PETER F DRUCKER Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things.

PETER F DRUCKER One cannot buy, rent or hire more tunes. The supply of time is totally inelastic. No matter how high the demand, the supply will not go up. There is no price for it. Time is totally perishable and cannot be stored. Yesterday's time is gone forever, and will never come back. Time is always in short supply there is no substitute for time. Everything requires time. AH work takes place in, and uses up time. Yet most people take for granted this unique, irreplaceable and necessary resource.

PETER F DRUCKER The purpose of business is to create and keep a customer.

PETER O'TOOLE When did I realise I was God? I was praying and suddenly realised I was talking to myself.

PETER RUSSELL Inner evolution is not an aside to the overall process of evolution. Conscious inner evolution is the particular phase of evolution that we, in our corner of the universe, are currently passing through. From this perspective, the movement towards a social super organism and the mystical urge to know an inner unity are complementary aspects of the same single process, the thrust of evolution towards higher degrees of wholeness.

PHILIPPIANS Do nothing from selfishness or conceit, but in humility count others better than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.

PHILIPPIANS Forgetting those things that are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press towards the mark.

PHILIPPIANS Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; for God is at work in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure.

PRABHATI When I am quiet, they say I have no knowledge; when I speak, I talk too much they say. When I sit, they say an unwelcome guest has come to stay; When I depart, I have deserted my family and run away, When I bow, they say it of fear that I pray Nothing can I do that in peace I may spend my time. Preserve Thy servant's honour now and Hereafter, 0 Lord Sublime.

PRIMO LEVI The bond between a man and his profession is similar to that which ties him to his country; it is just as complex, often ambivalent, and in general it is understood completely only when it is broken: by exile or emigration in the case of one's country, by retirement in the case of a trade or profession.

PRIMO LEVI To be considered stupid is more painful than being called gluttonous, lazy, and cowardly: every weakness has found its defenders, but stupidity hasnt.

PRINCE WILLIAM AND HARRY This event is about all that our mother loved in life... Her music, her dancing, her charities and her family and friends....

PURANANOORU All towns are one, all men our kin. Life's good comes not from others' gift, nor ill Man's pain and pain relief are from within. Death's no new thing; nor do we get Overwhelmed When Joyous life seems like a luscious draught. When grieved, we patiently suffer; for, we deem This much-praised life of ours a fragile raft Borne down the waters of some mountain stream... We marvel not at greatness of the great; Still less despise we , men of low estate.

QHERIE CARTER-SCOTT We do not all walk around with our hearts wide open all the time, however; doing so would leave us overwhelmed and in emotional danger. If I kept my heart open and exposed while watching the news every night, I would most likely never recover from the rush of helpless and hopeless feelings created by all the tragic stories. Sometimes it is necessary to keep your emotional barriers up as a way to protect yourself. The key to learning the lesson of compassion is realising that you are in control of the erection or destruction of those barriers that create distance between you and others.

QPRAH WINFREY Where there is no struggle, there is no strength.

R CHOUDURY -If we do not crave for rewards we have no reason for frustration. This does not mean that we lose our motivation to work. When we talk of rewards and results W we interpret these according to our personal perspective, conditioned by ideas of profit and loss, power and prestige. To get a clearer, more objective perspective we have to step aside from our personal involvement to an impersonal level of detachment. Detachment is not indifference or apathy it means putting action (karma) into a broader perspective, away from petty gains. Carry out karma for its own sake with single-pointed effort (yoga) and you; will be free to enjoy total job satisfaction.

R R SAMUEL BECKETT Every word is like m unnecessary stain on silence and nothingness.

R REYNOLDS Few of us realise how short the career of what we know as "science" has been. Three hundred and fifty years ago hardly anyone believed in the Copernican planetary theory Optical combinations were not discovered. The circulation of blood, the weight of air, the conduction of heat, the laws of motion were unknown; the common pump was inexplicable; there were no clocks, no thermometers; no general gravitation; the world was five thousand years old; spirits moved the planets; alchemy, magic, astrology imposed on everyone's belief.

RABINDRA NATH TAGORE If they heed not thy call, Walk alone, walk alone.

RABINDRA NATH TAGORE In the Upanishads we find the note of certainty about the spiritual meaning of existence. In the very paradoxical nature of the assertion that we can never know Brahma, but can realise Him, there lies the strength of conviction that comes from personal experience.

RABINDRA NATH TAGORE It is the pang of separation that spreads throughout the world and gives birth to shapes innumerable in the infinite sky. It is this sorrow of separation that gazes in silence all night from star to star and becomes lyric among rustling leaves in rainy darkness of July It is this overspreading pain that deepens into loves and desires, into sufferings and joys in human homes; and this it is that ever melts and flows in songs through my poet's heart.

RABINDRA NATH TAGORE Just as we do not need help in order to breathe, nor do we hold meetings at the Town Hall for our blood circulation, similarly, in the past, the samaj looked after its own needs... It did not have .to depend on the state.

RABINDRA NATH TAGORE Know not how thou singest, my master! I ever listen in silent amazement. The light of thy music illumines the world. The life breath of thy music runs from sky to sky the holy stream of thy music breaks through all stony obstacles and rushes on. My heart longs to join in thy song, but vainly struggles for a voice. I would speak. But speech breaks not into song, and I carry out baffled. Ah, thou hast made my heart captive in the endless meshes of thy music, my master!

RABINDRA NATH TAGORE The butterfly counts not months but moments, and has time enough.

RABINDRA NATH TAGORE The greed of gain has no time or limit to its capaciousness. Its one object is to produce and consume. It has pity neither for beautiful nature nor for living human beings. It is ruthlessly ready without a moment's hesitation to crush beauty and life out of them, moulding them into money.

RABINDRA NATH TAGORE The higher nature in man always seeks for something which transcends itself and yet is its deepest truth; which claims all its sacrifice, yet makes this sacrifice its own recompense. This is man's dharma, man's religion, and man's self is the vessel.

RABINDRA NATH TAGORE The same stream of life that runs through my veins night and day runs through the world and dances in rhythmic measures. It is the same life that shouts in joy through the dust of the earth in numberless blades of grass and breaks into tumultuous waves of leaves and flowers.

RABINDRANATH TAGORE The child learns so easily because he has a natural gift, but adults, because they are tyrants, ignore natural gifts and say that children must learn through the same process that they learned by We insist upon forced mental feeding and our lessons become a form of torture. This is one of man's most cruel and wasteful mistakes.

RABINDRANATH TAGORE The emancipation of our physical nature is in attaining health, of our social being in attaining goodness, and of our self in attaining love.

RABINDRANATH TAGORE The higher nature in man always seeks for something which transcends itself and yet is its deepest truth; which claims all its sacrifice, yet makes this sacrifice its own recompense. This is man's dharma and religion, and man's self is the vessel which is to carry this sacrifice to the altar.

RABINDRANATH TAGORE The man whose acquaintance with the world does not lead him deeper than science leads him, will never understand what it is that the man with the spiritual vision finds in these natural phenomena... When a man... meets the eternal spirit in all objects, then is he emancipated, for then he discovers the fullest significance of the world into which he is born; then he finds himself in perfect truth, and his harmony with the All is established.

RABINDRANATH TAGORE The Taj Mahal is like an eternal teardrop on the cheek of time.

RABINDRANATH TAGORE The water in a vessel is sparkling; the water in the sea is dark. The small truth has words which are clear; the great truth has great silence.

RABINDRANATH TAGORE This is my prayer to thee, my Lord; Give me strength rightly to bear my joys and sorrows; Give me the strength to make my love fruitful in service; Give me the strength never to disown the poor or bend my knees before insolent might. Give me the strength to raise my mind high above daily trifles. And give me the strength to surrender my strength to thy will with love.

RABINDRANATH TAGORE Trees are meant to be the earth's endless effort to speak to the listening heaven.

RABINDRANATH TAGORE What is Art? It is the response of man's creative soul to the call of the Real.

RABINDRANATH TAGORE When we watch a child trying to walk, we see its countless failures; its successes are but few. If we had to limit our observation within a narrow space of time, the sight would be cruel.

RABINDRANATH TAGORE You are invited to the festival of this world and. your life is blessed.

RABINDRANATH TAGORE You yourself are your own obstacle.

RACHEL CARSON If a child is to keep his inborn sense of wonder, he needs the companionship of at least one adult who can share it, rediscovering with him the joy, excitement and mystery of the world we live in.

RACHEL CARSON In an age when man has forgotten his origins and is blind even to his most essential needs for survival, water along with other resources has become the victim of his indifference.

RACHEL CARSON Natural beauty has a necessary place in the spiritual development of any individual or society. Whenever we destroy beauty, or whenever we substitute something man-made and artificial for a natural feature of the earth, we have retarded some part of man's spiritual growth.

RACHEL CARSON The more clearly we can focus our attention on the wonders and realities of the universe, the less taste we shall have for destruction.

RACHEL CARSON We cannot have peace among men whose hearts delight in killing any living creature.

RACHEL CARSON We stand now where two roads diverge... The road we have long been travelling is deceptively easy, a smooth superhighway on which we progress with great speed, but at its end lies disaster. The other fork of the road, the one less travelled by, offers our last, our only chance to reach a destination that assures the preservation of the earth.

RACHEL NAOMI REMEN Healing may not be so much about getting better, as about letting go of everything that isn't you all of the expectations, all of the beliefs and becoming who you are.

RACHEL NAOMI REMEN Health is not an end: it is a means. Health enables us to serve our purpose in life, but it is not the purpose of life. Perhaps reconnecting to the purpose that we each serve may be the most powerful way to heal.

RACHEL NAOMI REMEN I have come to suspect that healing is more closely related to mystery than mastery, more a function of the soul than the mind.

RAE NOEL Whenever the human adventure reaches great and complete expression, we can be sure it is because someone has dared to be his unaverage self.

RAFAAEL ORTIZ Love is not finding someone to live with; its finding someone you cant live without.

RAFAELBRAS You'll never be able to control nature. The best way is to understand how nature works and make it work in our favour.

RAHIM It is in your power to do karma, but we do not have any control over its success.

RAHMAN BABA Live not with thy head showing in the clouds, Thou art by birth the offspring of this earth, The stream that passed the sluice cannot again flow back, Nor can again return the misspent time that sped, Consider well the deeds of the good and bad, Whether in this thy profit lieth or in that.

RAHUL GANDHI I have heard my father telling my mother that he would have stood in front of the masjid to protect it.

RAIMUNDO PANIKKAR The entire purport of the Vedas is liberation or freedom. Freedom may be interpreted in many ways. It is Brahmn, it is atman, it is nirvana. Or it can be said to consist in being, in happiness, in release, from all bondage. More numerous still are the ways that are supposed to lead to it. Right action, true knowledge and genuine love are the classical ways.

RAINER MARIA RILKE It s possible that the whole history of the world has been misunderstood? Yes, t is possible.

RAJA YOGI B K JAGDISH CHANDER There is diminishing of happiness when any thought of envy or hatred creeps in. But when the wise man feels the oncoming of such a feeling, he should remember that if portends his fall. Greatness consists in philanthropy, large-heartedness, magnanimity and goodwill towards all.

RAJA YOGI RAJA YOGI B K JAGDISH CHANDER Though man has language as a potent means of expression, and he has the intellect also to argue his case and to convince others, yet man ultimately uses the ways of the animals who... do not have language and reason as their means to seek justice... So, the lesson I learn from history, is that man does not learn lesson from history.

RAJAN -In this vastness there is place for space and much more. In this eternity there is place for time and the chimes of its measure. In the depth of the deep there is space for the light to enter but not the door to escape. In the roaming mind, there is space for the quietude by tapas of fortitude. In the emerald blue silence there is space for awareful existence of the fullness of ananda. In awareness there is the melody of the music of the spheres pulsating with cosmic life heard only in silence. In consciousness, you and I are nowhere or everywhere vibrant in the soft whisper of the fathomless silence. If only we listen.
