1 " You have been feeling the way your society programmed you to feel. You have been thinking the way your society programmed you to think. You have been behaving the way your society programmed you to behave. Even your desires are not your own, original desires. They are all programmed in you by your society. Have you done anything original in your life? "
― Abhijit Naskar , A Push in Perception
2 " The very first existential purpose of one's life, after securing the means to acquire food, clothes and shelter, is to understand oneself, that is, if one truly, genuinely, actually wants a peaceful world for one's children. "
3 " Your life has only one authority and that's you. "
4 " Be a part of the solution O Braveheart, not contributing to the problems. "
5 " We cannot solve an old problem with old solutions. "
6 " In the emptiness of the mind, lies wholeness. This wholeness is beyond duality - it is beyond conflicts - it is beyond facts and figures - it is beyond all intellectualism. "
7 " Truth has no nature, for truth is nature. "
8 " Truth is not a destination - it is not a point in the future which you reach through discipline and efforts. Truth is the path itself you walk on every day, driven by unbiased, naïve, curiosity for knowing - not believing, but knowing. "
9 " Experience does not give you wisdom. Wisdom comes through liberation of the mind. And since most humans live a conditioned life, they never get liberated in the first place, hence they never even have the taste of wisdom. "
10 " La vérité n'a pas de nature, car la vérité est la nature. "
11 " Truth and liberty go hand in hand. Liberty is the state of mind, that gives rise to the truth, the ultimate state of being, for the state of being is only founded upon the state of mind. "
12 " Sorrow comes from fear, fear comes from insecurity, insecurity comes from psychological obscurity, which is the lack of wisdom. "
13 " Everything you know is past. And with that disgusting arrogance of knowing the past, one cannot know something novel. "
14 " When there is peace in the self, there is peace in the world. "
15 " Life is undoubtedly born of biology, but if a lifeform strictly constructs all its perception living inside the ship-shape well of biology, despite having developed the brain capacity to be beyond it, then it is a disgusting mockery of life itself. "
16 " Neither materialism, nor spiritualism reveals the truth - neither atheism, nor theism reveals the truth - neither intellectualism, nor callousness reveals the truth. Truth is beyond all opposites. "
17 " These preachers and priests are no more religious and wise than the parrot that keeps repeating the same words over and over again, because it is incapable of original thinking. "
18 " We do have the brain capacity to be novel and loving souls - we are souls with limitless potential for good, yet we keep saying, it's practically impossible to be limitlessly good - to love someone infinitely - to care for someone beyond conditions. "
19 " You are responsible for not just your immediate family, but for your neighbor as well, and that neighbor could be a few steps away from you, or a few thousand miles away. "
20 " Age is irrelevant to wisdom. "
