“Do not believe anything because it is said by an authority, or if it is said to come from angels, or from Gods, or from an inspired source. Believe it only if you have explored it in your own heart and mind and body and found it to be true. Work out your own path, through diligence.
-Lord Buddha- „The primary cause of disorder in us is he seeking of reality promised by another; we mechanically follow somebody who will assure us a comfortable spiritual life. It is a most extraordinary thing that although most of us are opposed to political tyranny and dictatorship, we inwardly accept the authority, the tyranny, of a Guru to twist our minds and our way of life.” -Jai Krishnamurti- “He should take pains to avoid any activity under another person’s control but he should take pains to engage in any activity under his own control. Everything under another person’s control is unhappiness; It should be known that this sums up the distinguishing marks of unhappiness and happiness.” Manu Smriti, 4, 159- “Truth is a pathless land and you cannot approach it by any path whatsoever, by any religion, by any sect. Truth, being limitless, unconditioned, unapproachable by any path whatsoever, cannot be organized; nor should any organization be formed to lead or to coerce people along any particular path. Man cannot come to it through any organization, through any creed, through any dogma, priest or ritual, not through any philosophic knowledge or psychological technique. He has to find it through the understanding of the contents of his own mind, and through direct and honest observation of the actuality of his situation." -Jai Krishnamurti- "Consider the person, who reveals to you your mistakes as if he reveals to you the secret of a hidden treasure." -Lord Buddha- "The devil is a god within you, whom you have not yet recognized." -Joseph Campell- "The world is structured in a way that you have to deal with suffering, when you want to enjoy the glories of the world. Whether you like it or not, you cannot have the one without the other.” -Guru Dev- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
