Quotations
Knowledge
One who is able to withdraw his senses from sense objects, as the tortoise draws his limbs within the shell, is to be understood as truly situated in knowledge.
-Srimad Bhagavad Gita "Bhagwad Gita 2.58"
The knowledge in your mind is immeasurably greater than all that you learnt, in all manner of ways, since birth, as a child, at school, in life, in the world, in your profession. This immeasurable knowledge sometimes percolates into the dream experience; sometimes it comes as intuitive ideas, as creative feelings.
-A Spiritual Leader "Swami Omkarananda"
The sun, symbolising wisdom, divine knowledge and spiritual light, which receded from you when you revelled in the darkness of ignorance, delusion and sensuality, now joyously turns on its northward course and moves towards you to shed its light and warmth in greater abundance, and to infuse into you more life and energy.
-Swami Sivananda "Swami Sivananda"
Self-knowledge is not a thing to be bought in books, but it is awareness, from moment to moment.
-J. Krishnamurti "J. Krishnamurti"

You know when you are very alert and awake the sexual energy has transformed itself into a different quality of consciousness.

Was there ever a more horrible blasphemy than the statement that all the knowledge of God is confined to this or that book?
