Quotations
Life
Be like a tree. The tree gives shade even to him who cuts off its boughs.

Similarly, in life, different roles played by the same person should exist peacefully and distinctly inside him. Lift your spirit with the joy of colour.
-Sri Sri Ravi Shankar "Sri Sri Ravi Shankar"

How soon you overcome each incident, good or bad happening with you reveals
how deeply you understand life?
