Divane Dynamite: Only truth in the cosmos is love Quotes

“Brave, Sound & Sane (The Sonnet) Brave is not the one who has no dark corners in their mind, Brave is the one who is friends with their dark corners. Courageous is not the one who never sheds a single tear, Courageous is the one who draws strength from their tears. A sound mind is not one that has no superstition, A sound mind is one that has a grip over its superstition. A sane mind is not one that does not believe in fiction, A sane mind is one that knows good fiction from bad fiction. Education is needed, but not mere education of the head, What's really needed is education of the whole being. It is easy to fill the head with facts and figures, Use a fact to lift the world, then you're an educated being. More than in head and body, we gotta grow up in heart. A billion pounds of head is worthless, if there is no heart.”

“Why does the mind crave superstition! It's because superstition is a psychological apparatus for self-preservation. And it appears to us as truth because the only truth our brain is concerned with is the one that takes away our anxiety and aids in our survival, even if that truth happens to be just another lie our brain cooks up to maintain internal order. However, neurologically speaking, there is no such thing as a mind without superstition. Your belief that you have no superstition, is just another superstition. So, it's not about developing a mind without superstition, which is impossible, rather it is about being aware of the superstitions as much as possible, and reject those that are particularly harmful, for the self and society.”

“Science, Religion & Superstition (The Sonnet) Religion is all evil, is the superstition, That half-cocked rationalists suffer from. Science is devil's work, is the superstition, That bookish religionists suffer from. Take the I and cross it out, Lo, you have a living Christ! Take the self and set it on fire, Lo, you have a timeless light! Yes, I want to convert the world, I want to convert all cussing into hugging. Yes, I want to convert the people, all of them, I want to convert mindless mocking into mending. I am no preacher, I am no scholar, I am no thinker. But, without some basic humanity, we shall all wither.”
