The secret of life is not enjoyment, but education through experience.
-Swami Vivekananda "Swami Vivekananda"
The secret of life is not enjoyment, but education through experience.
To walk safely through the maze of human life, one needs the light of wisdom and the guidance of virtue.
A sacrifice is a gift of the essence or the product of our lives. It may be a gift of our time, a gift of our talent, or a gift of our treasure.
Those who see all creatures within themselves, and themselves in all creatures know no fear. Those who see all creatures in themselves, and themselves in all creatures know no grief. How can the multiplicity of life, delude the one who sees its unity?
We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light.
-Plato
Most of the luxuries and many of the so-called comforts of life, are not only not indispensable, but positive hindrances to the elevation of mankind.
Life without freedom is like a body without a soul, and freedom without thought is like a confused spirit…
Life is hard. After all, it kills you.
-Katharine Hepburn
"Me: Stories of My Life"
You say: “He lost his life” or “my life”, as if life were something that you can possess or lose. The truth is: you don’t have a life, you are life. The One Life, the one consciousness that pervades the entire universe and takes temporary form to experience itself as a stone or blade of grass, as an animal, a person, a star or a galaxy.
Some relationships are like Tom and Jerry. They tease each other, knock down each other, irritate each other, but can’t live without each other.
