“The law of karma states unequivocally that though we cannot see the connections, we can be sure that everything that happens to us, good and bad, originated once in something we did or thought. We ourselves are responsible for what happens to us, whether or not we can understand how. It follows that we can change what happens to us by changing ourselves; we can take our destiny into our own hands.”
― Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa, The Bhagavad Gita

“we wonder what the fuss was about and aren’t sure that our own government is doing any better, or even that it is a government that represents us. It seems more to be the government of an uneasy marriage between old orthodoxy and old revolutionaries, and such people have nothing to say to us that we want to hear.”
― Paul Scott, The Jewel in the Crown

“Even when I'm not looking for a meaning one springs naturally to my mind. Do you think it is a disease?”
― Paul Scott, The Jewel in the Crown

“Knowledge is better than practice;
meditation is better
than knowledge; and best of all
is surrender, which soon brings peace.”
― Stephen Mitchell, The Bhagavad Gita
