• There is a difference between watching the mind and controlling the mind. Watching the mind with a gentle, open attitude allows the mind to settle down and come to rest. Trying to control the mind, or trying to control the way one's spiritual practice will unfold, just stirs up more agitation and suffering.
• God had a purpose in the life of Saddam Hussain. Determination and commitment are very noble qualities and when the same are used for achieving misconceived goals, God again fails in the great experiment of human transformation. A splendid flower alas! has gone the way of the dust. I pity him for having lost his goal and for the treatment by others of the human race:when did real Compassion the greatest Archetype of Being ever succeed? May he Saddam Hussain flower again and prove the real intention of the Divine in his being. Dust however needs no effort to multiply! and why are the big brothers over there think too eager to do the same and so fast?
- K.C. Narayana
• Experience is not what happens to a man. It is what a man does with what happens to him.
- Aldous Huxley
• When the only tool you own is a hammer, every
problem begins to resemble a nail.
- Abraham Maslow
• Doubtless we think with only a small part of our past, but it is with our entire past, including the original bent of our soul, that we desire, will, and act.
