“Bombay, you will be told, is the only city India has, in the sense that the word city is understood in the West. Other Indian metropolises like Calcutta, Madras and Delhi are like oversized villages. It is true that Bombay has many more high-rise buildings than any other Indian city: when you approach it by the sea it looks like a miniature New York. It has other things to justify its city status: it is congested, it has traffic jams at all hours of the day, it is highly polluted and many parts of it stink.”
― Khushwant Singh, Truth, Love & A Little Malice

“O MAN! Offer Thy labyrinthine longings into a monotheistic bonfire consecrated to the unparalleled God.
Burn desire for human affection in the fire of aspiration for GOD alone, a love solitary because omnipresent!
Throw faggot of ignorance to incandesce the blaze of insight! Devour all sorrows in the sorrow for God's absence.
Consume all regrets in meditative bliss!”
― Paramahamsa Yogananda, God Talks with Arjuna: The Bhagavad Gita
