Vivekananda
“Then Krishna says, "O Arjuna, you and I have run the cycle of births and deaths many times, but you are not conscious of them all. I am without beginning, birthless, the absolute Lord of all creation. I through my own nature take form. Whenever virtue subsides and wickedness prevails, I come to help mankind. For the salvation of the good, for the destruction of wickedness, for the establishment”
Swami Vivekananda, Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda

Vivek Kaul
“The 12th Five-Year Plan (2012-2017), which is a slightly older document, puts the mean number of years of schooling in India at 5.12 years, which is not very far off from the Human Development Report figure. This is well below other emerging-market countries, like China, at 8.17 years, and Brazil, at 7.54 years. In fact, it is also well below the average of all developing countries, which is at 7.09 years.”
Vivek Kaul, India’s Big Government: The Intrusive State & How It's Hurting Us

Arshia Sattar
“Rama realizes at the very outset that it is attachment itself that he has to transcend. He renounces his conventional ties – to the kingdom and to his family – as he leaves for the forest, understanding, perhaps, that it is attachment which clouds judgement when hard choices have to be made and unpleasant decisions taken.”
Arshia Sattar, Lost Loves: Exploring Rama's Anguish

Hazrat Inayat Khan
“Therefore it is the law of the mystics to see all things, to experience all things, either of heaven or earth, and yet to say little; for the souls incapable of understanding the possibility of their reach will ridicule them.”
Hazrat Inayat Khan, The Way of Illumination

“If there is one thing the Vedas are not, it is books: they are oral compositions in a language that was used for ordinary communication; and were handed down by word of mouth like that language itself.”
Frits Staal, Discovering the Vedas: Origins, Mantras, Rituals, Insight
