Quote by Abhijit Naskar

“It is only water as long as its internal realm of two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen, remains intact. If you break that structure which we call H20, it ceases to be water. Likewise, a soul remains a soul, as long as its neural structures remain intact. If you mess with those structures, then the entire personality of the soul may get radically altered. So, to think even further, if those neural structures inside your head stop working, then the soul ceases to exist forever.”

“For Plato and Socrates, the philosopher is one who lives according to virtue and reason, cultivating the pleasures of the soul and intellect and not the pleasures and passions of the baser desires of the body. The key to this path is grasping first that there are absolutes—absolute truth, goodness, beauty, and other aspects of life. These are universal forms that are recollected from our past lives and ultimately harken back to the One, or the monad, from which all things mysteriously emanated. We, as humans, “see” truly through the soul, and seeing with this higher, awakened eyesight allows us to peer into the higher realm of existence where truth is eternal, not subject to the chaotic flux and temporal finitude and change of this life.”

“I am not a mechanism, an assembly of various sections. And it is not because the mechanism is working wrongly, that I am ill. I am ill because of the wounds to the soul, to the deep emotional self and the wounds to the soul take a long, long time, only time can help and patience, and a certain difficult repentance, long difficult repentance, realisation of life's mistake, and the freeing of oneself from the endless repetition of the mistake which mankind at large has chosen to sanctify.”

“En el alma humana hay una trascendencia inmanente, una chispa divina y «Gracia suficiente» que, en estado de potencia, nosotros podemos actualizar y hacer nuestra. De acuerdo a una vía iniciática de autoconocimiento y esclarecimiento del alma; vía hecha de sabiduría y virtud, esfuerzo y disciplina, humildad y coraje, y en la que nuestra propia existencia será maestra y guía para conducirnos por nuestras obras al cielo... por nuestras obras en la vida y en la muerte, «merecer el Valhalla».”

“Living a long life is not really the ultimate purpose of human existence. Neither is happiness. It is in aligning to your dharma and duty that you can live the greatest life you are meant to have. Your soul prolongs your life as required. Usefulness, functionality and your highest possible contribution to the bigger whole, with more inclusive purpose, will empower and stretch your life’s continuity.”
