    ...insightful quotes

    I continue to enjoy quotes that are most insightful. Please add yours if you wish. Let me offer one:

    All of us who are concerned for peace and triumph of reason and justice must be keenly aware how small an influence reason and honest good will exert upon events in the political field.
    (Albert Einstein, 1954)

    because you are identical with śiva

    There is nothing more difficult to plan, more doubtful of success, more dangerous to manage than the creation of a new system. The innovator has the enmity of all who profit by the preservation of the old system and only lukewarm defenders by those who would gain by the new system. (Machiavelli, 1513)

    Namaste,

    I find pretty much anything in the Tao Te Ching very insightful, but my favourite quote in the text would have to be:

    "We shape clay into a pot, but it is the emptiness inside that holds whatever we want." - Lao Tzu

    "People travel to wonder at the height of mountains, at the huge waves of the sea, at the long courses of rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motion of the stars; and they pass by themselves without wondering." - St. Augustine

    "Your teacher can open the door, but you must enter by yourself." - Chinese proverb
    "Watch your thoughts, they become words.
    Watch your words, they become actions.
    Watch your actions, they become habits.
    Watch your habits, they become your character.
    Watch your character, it becomes your destiny."

    ॐ गं गणपतये नमः
    Om Gam Ganapataye namah

    लोकाः समस्ताः सुखिनो भवन्तु ।
    Lokaah SamastaaH Sukhino Bhavantu

    Nothing wrong with being a rat per se, unless you're in a lab or within 5 feet of a cobra but I like how the quote shifts your perspective, dig.
