Gurrappa Naidu > Gurrappa's Quotes

“A dog will recognize his master in whatever way he dresses. The master may dress in robes, suit and tie, or stand naked, but the dog will always recognize his master. If we cannot recognize God, our beloved master, when he comes in a different dress from another religion, then we are less than that dog.”

― Radhanath Swami, The Journey Home

“Where there is no inner freedom, there is no life.”
― Radhanath Swami, The Journey Home

― Italo Calvino, The Uses of Literature
