Quotations
Life
One’s entire life is a continuous process of learning. Any process of inquiry is related to learning. But basically our inquiry should be concerned with finding out what is transient and what is permanent. This is true knowledge.
-Sathya Sai Baba "Sri Sathya Sai Baba"
Life is as dear to the mute creature as it is to a man. Just as one wants happiness and fears pain, just as one wants to live and not to die, so do other creatures.
-Dalai Lama Xiv "The XIV Dalai Lama"
