Indian Wisdom

' To free oneself of knowledge is to die, thus one lives. '
~ Krishnamurti

'Like the silkworm you have built a cocoon around yourself. Who will save you ?
Burst your cocoon and come out as the beautiful butterfly, as the free soul.'
~ Swami Vivekanada

'Man falls from the pursuit of the ideal of plain living and high thinking the moment he wants to multiply his daily wants.
Man's happiness really lies in contentment.'
~ Mahatma Gandhi

'Fear is one of the greatest problems in life. A mind that is caught in fear lives in confusion, in conflict, and therefore must be violent, distorted and aggressive.'
~ Krishnamurti

'Very few people in this world can reason normally, there is a terrible tendency to accept all that is said, all that is read, and to accept it without question. Only he who is really to question, to think for himself, will find the truth! To understand the currents of a river, he who wishes to know the truth must enter the water.'
~ Nisargadatta
