Man is born in the world with a lifespan of a hundred years,more or
less, and he spends half the time sleeping.
The half of the remaining years is spent in infancy and dotage. The
remaining twenty five are spent in suffering from various diseases,
in lamenting and grieving over a series of bereavements caused by
the death of offspring and other relatives, in working hard day and
night at the household of the rich to scrape a living. Living, as he
must, a life so full of turbulence and wave-like unsteadiness, when
does man find time to experience true happiness?

a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be.

The leaders who work most effectively, it seems to me, never
say "I." And that's not because they have trained themselves not to
say "I." They don't think "I." They think "we"; they think "team."
They understand their job to be to make the team function. They
accept responsibility and don't sidestep it, but "we" gets the
credit….This is what creates trust, what enables you to get the task
done.

Knowledge is certainly a man's greatest beauty.  It is a safe and
hidden treasure.  It provides prosperity, fame and happiness.

not wealth, which is adored by kings.  Without knowledge one remains
as animal.

At the gates of the Transcendent stands that mere and perfect spirit
described in the Upanishads, luminous, pure sustaining the
world, without flaw of duality, without scar of division, unique,
identical, free from all appearance of relation and
multiplicity, - the pure Self...the inactive Brahman, the transcendent
Silence. And the mind when it passes those gates
suddenly...receives a sense of the unreality of the world and the sole
reality of the Silence which is one of the most powerful
and convincing experiences of which the human mind is capable.

The way of devotion is not different from the way of knowledge, or
Jnana. When intelligence matures and lodges securely in the mind it
becomes wisdom. When wisdom is integrated with life and becomes
action it becomes Bhakti. Knowledge when it becomes fully mature is
Bhakti. To believe that Jnana and Bhakti, knowledge and devotion,
are different from each other is ignorance

Mourning is not the index of true love. It reflects love of the
object, of its shape only, but that is not love. True love is shown
by the certainty that the object of love is in the Self and that it
can never become non-existent.

- Ramana Maharshi

Enthusiasm is the greatest asset in the world. It beats money, power
and influence.

- Henry Chester



Through pride we are ever deceiving ourselves. But deep down below
the surface of the average conscience a still, small voice says to
us, Something is out of tune.

- Carl Jung



The Ultimate Truth is so simple. It is nothing more than being in
one's natural, original state.

- Ramana Maharshi



It all depends on how we look at things, and not on how they are
themselves.

-Carl Jung (1875 - 1961)



All life is the play of universal forces. The individual gives a
personal form to these universal forces. But he can choose whether
he shall respond or not to the action of a particular force. Only
most people do not really choose - they indulge the play of the
forces. Your illness, depressions etc. are the repeated play of such
forces. It is only when you can make oneself free of them that one
can be the true person and have a true life - but one can be free
only by living in the Divine.

-Aurobindo



When you are laboring for others, let it be with the same zeal as if
it were for yourself.

- Confucius
