Issue 305
- A great part of life consists in contemplating what we cannot cure.
- The only man who never makes a mistake is the man who never does anything.
- It is our choices that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.
- The way of devotion is not different from
the way of knowledge, or Jnana. When intelligence matures and
lodges securely in the mind it becomes wisdom. When wisdom is
integrated with life and becomes action it becomes Bhakti.
Knowledge when it becomes fully mature is Bhakti.
To believe that Jnana and Bhakti, knowledge and
devotion, are different from each other is ignorance.
- Great work requires great and persistent effort for a long time.
Character has to be established through a thousand stumbles.
- People are okay,
it is their behavior that's a problem sometimes.
- Time is really the only capital that any human being has,
and the only thing he can't afford to lose.
- I criticize by creation - not by finding fault.
- The task of leadership is not to put greatness into people,
but to elicit it, for the greatness is there already.
- A person in danger should not try to escape at one stroke.
He should first calmly hold his own, then be satisfied
with small gains, which will come by creative adaptations.
