“Sometimes he felt his loneliness. But these moments of solitude and loneliness gave meaning to his existence.”
“I ve found that martinis make mourning much easier.”
“The soul’s ultimate consciousness-energy attainment is the stratum of “Heaven,” but this is not the same Heaven that we refer to when speaking about the afterlife. The consciousness-energy of “Heaven” is full enlightenment, and if attained in the physical form, it is Heaven on Earth. All souls—including you—will eventually reach Heaven, though not because this incarnation of your soul has passed from the physical lifetime, but because Heaven is the vibration to which all of Life is magnetized, remembers with, and returns to.”
“Enough-ness is a personal conclusion”
“Birds were made by transformation: growing feathers instead of hair, they came from harmless but light-witted men, who studied the heavens but imagined in their simplicity that the surest evidence in these matters comes through the eye. Land animals came from men who had no use for philosophy and paid no heed to the heavens because they had lost the use of the circuits in the head and followed the guidance of those parts of the soul that are in the breast. By reason of these practices they let their forelimbs and heads be drawn down to the earth by natural affinity and there supported, and their heads were lengthened out and took any sort of shape into which their circles were crushed together through inactivity. On this account their kind was born with four feet or many, heaven giving to the more witless the greater number of points to support, that they might be all the more drawn earthward. The most senseless, whose whole bodies were stretched at length upon the earth, since they had no further need of feet, the gods made footless, crawling over the ground. The fourth sort, that live in water, came from the most foolish and stupid of all. The gods who remolded their form thought these unworthy any more to breathe the pure air, because their souls were polluted with every sort of transgression; and, in place of breathing the fine and clean air, they thrust them down to inhale the muddy water of the depths. Hence, came fishes and shellfish and all that lives in the water: in penalty for the last extreme of folly they are assigned the last and lowest habitation. These are the principles on which, now, as then all creatures change one into another, shifting their place with the loss or gain of understanding or folly.”
“a wound can be healed but its scar always remains”
“There are many Arjunas in Kalyuga; they are focused, bright, hard-working, loving, righteous young men who want to change the world. Their patience and connectivity to Krishna tests the longevity of their characters; some of them give up and transform into Shakunis and Kauravas.”
“Solo puede ser un ladrón y uno de los peores: de los que intentan robarte antes de que hayas desayunado.”
“Sex is nothing. People do it all the time. But a connection of the soul is magical.”
“Some moments I just want to rest my head in your lap and sleep.”
“Love is the cruelest event.”
“- we no longer live in the Age of Reason. We don’t have reason we have computation. We don’t have a tree of knowledge; we have an information superhighway. We don’t have real intelligence; we have artificial intelligence. We no longer pursue truth, we seek data and signals. We no longer have philosophers, we have thinking pragmatists. We no longer have morals, we have lifestyles. We no longer have brains which serve as the seat of our thinking minds; we have neural sites, which remember, store body signals, control genes, generate dreams, anxieties and neuroses, quite independent of whether they think rationally or not. So starting from reason, where did we get?”
“Some moments drift and some moments make us drift!”
“Sometimes all I feel like doing is to sit next to you and stare at the sky together.”
“Aurobindo Ghose writes somewhere of the present as the pure and virgin moment, that razor s edge of time and existence which divides the past from the future, and is, and yet, instantaneously is not. The phrase is attractive and yet what does it mean? The virgin moment emerging from the veil of the future in all its naked purity, coming into contact with us, and immediately becoming the soiled and stale past. Is it we that soil it and violate it? Or is the moment not so virgin after all, for it is bound up with all the harlotry of the past?”
“How we interact in our world that we inhabit determines how much happiness human beings enjoy. The ego guides human beings in performing their practical activities, and egotistical utility in turn motivates human behavior. An inflated ego can cause human beings to live in a corrupt and unethical manner that is hostile to other humans and the environment. A person’s passions can imprison them.”
“What is the meaning of life? She asked me. Life has no meaning! I said. Then why do we live? She asked me. To create the meaning! I said.”
