“There is a world of difference between a bird sitting & singing in a tree and a bird singing in a cage. It is only when the mind is free that the person can be free, not otherwise. With a free and quiet mind, we are able to live with a song of life, a song of love, a song of joy in our heart! Yet our freedom should not be used as a reckless license to do anything we please. In true freedom and happiness we like whatever we do, but we do not always do whatever we like.”
~Swami Nirmalananda, ‘A garland of Forest Flowers’
“At any instant, the quality of your life is directly related to how interested you are in it.”
~Joel Kramer
“Mystery is the source of all true art and science. He who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe is as good as dead”
~Albert Einstein
