Morality Absolute Quotes

“Happiness is a momentary illusion created by momentary neurochemical impulses. Contentment on the other hand, is not a momentary impulse, it is a broader and much more complicated cognitive apparatus, that puts things in perspective in a unique manner, without making you overwhelmed with momentary emotional impulses.”

“Forget all labels and simply live as a human, and you'll have all the morality in you - this morality is text-less - it is law-less - it is boundless - it's simply your whole being, beyond conditioning, beyond norms, beyond stereotypes, beyond definitions, beyond theories, beyond intellectualism, beyond ideologies, beyond sects and beyond images. That morality has no Naskar in it - it has no Nietzsche in it - it has no Schopenhauer in it - it has no bible, no quran, no vedas in it - nor has it any messiah or prophet whatsoever.”

“Morality is like defecation. When you have the urge to defecate, do you ask an intellectual, what it is like to feel like defecating and how to perform the act of defecation, before you actually go to defecate! You simply feel it and go defecating. The same is with morality. You don't ask a scientist, a philosopher or a priest what morality really is, and how to perform it. You simply feel it and act on it.”

“When the mind rises punned in the flames of self-realization, distance between human and human disappears as if it never existed in the first place. And this original incarnation of the human mind upon the death of the second hand existence, delivers the world the ultimate bodily manifestation of morality absolute and the liberty it encompasses.”

“Almost everyone talks about world peace. They expect that somehow peace is going to magically appear all around them, and everybody is going to be happy then on. What they do not realize is that, in reality, peace can rise from nowhere else but their own mind. How can you expect the world to be a peaceful place, if you yourself are not at peace within yourself! World peace is nothing but the collective mental state of peaceful humans. Hence, it all starts with the humans – each human – each one of us.”

“In order to build a truly wise society devoid of any kind of existential crisis, it is imperative that the individuals foster a healthy integration between cognition and behavior. When cognition and behavior are not in sync, no civilization can progress in peace and harmony. Without this fundamental integration between cognition and behavior, the so-called “civilization” only miserizes itself by always confusing the acquirement of instant gratifications to be peace and happiness.”

“Almost every single intellectual has been obsessed with an illustrious question - what drives morality! Yet none of them has been able to find an actual answer to this question. All that they have done is to publish tons of reading material full with theories and intellectual speculations. The truth is, morality is not driven by anything, it is the one thing that drives everything else. Morality is the fundamental drive of being a civilized conscientious human, that rises through self-awareness and self-regulation.”
