“Children come to us not... because we are good people, but because we are students of life. And as students, at some point, an examination will come!! One that is karmic in nature, and one that's unforgettable. There is neither failure nor success in raising a child. What is gained is the realisation that you have fulfilled your karma. And hopefully, in the best interests of both you and the child.”

“When we read, another person thinks for us; we merely repeat his mental process… So it comes about that if anyone spends almost the whole day in reading… he gradually loses the capacity for thinking…such is the case with very many scholars; they have read themselves stupid… Experience of the world may be looked upon as a kind of text, to which reflection and knowledge form the commentary. When there is a great deal of reflection and intellectual knowledge, and very little experience, the result is like those books which have on each page two lines of text to forty lines of commentary.”
