    Rabindranath Tagore
    “Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high;
    Where knowledge is free;
    Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls;
    Where words come out from the depth of truth;
    Where tireless striving stretches its arms toward perfection;
    Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit;
    Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever-widening thought and action -
    Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.”
    ― Rabindranath Tagore, Gitanjali

    B.R. Ambedkar
    “Freedom of mind is the real freedom.
    A person whose mind is not free though he may not be in chains, is a slave, not a free man.
    One whose mind is not free, though he may not be in prison, is a prisoner and not a free man.
    One whose mind is not free though alive, is no better than dead.
    Freedom of mind is the proof of one's existence.”

    Love is about appreciation.”

    Don't be afraid of experience, because
    the more experience you have, the more
    mature you become.”

    Kabir
    “Are you looking for me?
    I am in the next seat.
    My shoulder is against yours.
    you will not find me in the stupas,
    not in Indian shrine rooms,
    nor in synagogues,
    nor in cathedrals:
    not in masses,
    nor kirtans,
    not in legs winding around your own neck,
    nor in eating nothing but vegetables.
    When you really look for me,
    you will see me instantly —
    you will find me in the tiniest house of time.
    Kabir says: Student, tell me, what is God?
    He is the breath inside the breath.”
