Just as rivers flow from east and west to merge with the one sea, forgetting that they were ever separate rivers, so all beings lose their separateness when they eventually merge into pure Being.
- Upanishads

Guide your child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.
Neither do we have to make the sun or moon rise nor manage gravitation. We do
not even have to convert the food that we eat into blood. All that we have to do
is, put our own life on the path of peace, bliss and success. Isn't it amusing that
we, who claim ourselves to be so intelligent, cannot do even this bit of work?
-Deep Trivedi
Sometimes people are beautiful.
Not in looks.
Not in what they say.
Just in what they are.
-Markus Zusak
Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.
Perhaps not one religion contains all of the truth of the world. Perhaps every religion contains fragments of the truth, and it is our responsibility to identify those fragments and piece them together.
-Christopher Paolini
