“Not God, but man-made gods kill, by self-will.”
“Most humans are but beasts and bitches, till the One in All - this unconscious seeking, and conscious finding of it - 'em itches.”
“Religious nuts, atheists, theists, as too most scientists fail to "get" IT - the Ultimate Reality - because they seek it through ego.”
“I do not want to sound cynical or condescending, but your lips are moving, your mind unbending.”
“Just a child is free to wander in one's father's garden, discovering little or big things; it is left to the seeker to grow unto the Nature of the Absolute.”
“In all humilitylet it be said -there's no godin End Realitybut Onenessunto all is All -Whole's Unity.”
“If a religion asks one to kill another just because he or she follows not this ism, nor agrees with it; then, it's a hell-hole, worse than a prison. Run away, and far from it. As though your butt is on fire. And before you, yourself are imprisoned.”
“I wish you all the best in life. Hell, I will even write your obituary for free.”
“No book dropped from "up there". If it did, you say, then something is screwed up somewhere between your neck, and the top of your head.”
“If your religion requires, as an article of faith, to hate people of other religions and faiths, you and your ism are screwed up, mate.”
“Learn to accept life in toto. A perfect life is only in the dream world. This, my dear, with all it's heartaches, is it. Our world.”
“Any given day is a second chance, after yesterday. Make the best of it today.”
“Do it or not, but do.”
“Only one kind of species of animals bites the hand that feeds them - mankind.”
“The metaphysical truth and the end reality is simply this - you are All. Infinite Oneness. Consciousness is but only a part of it. So, you're consciousness, and yet more. You're the Whole. Thus is 'That'. Get it.”
“Even if things do not work out as you thought they should for you, they do - in their own way, as they were meant to.”
“Respect all people as you do your people, and you would be a fine people.”
“Do your thing, without harming anything.”
“Humour sustains us during failure; more so after success, when we're prone to fail that much more, daring abyss, pumped up with success.”
“Till the time Mother Nature takes away what she had bestowed upon us for free - this wonderful gift, of life. Value it, while you have it.”
