Quote by Swami Dhyan Giten

“Man needs peace, not war. Man needs love, not violence. We have been tortured enough with ideas of heros, war, propaganda, hate, destruction and violence. Science has given us enough of destructive power and weapons that i f we go living in accordance with the old destructive values then and ideals humanity is finished. The future belong to the new man, to the intelligent and creative people, not to the soldier. Only love can give us the balance. Humanity has lived against love up to now, and that is why there is so much misery, hate, violence and destruction in the world. This is because humanity has lived in a destructive way up to now. Now there are only two alternatives: either humanity changes or this is the end of humanity. The time for the old values and ideals are over.We have to live in accordance with a new life affirmative vision of life.”

“All science is an attempt to cover with explanatory devices-and thereby to obscure-the vast darkness of the subject. It is a game in which the scientist uses his explanatory principles according to certain rules to see if these principles can be stretched to cover the vast darkness. But the rules of the stretching are rigorous, and the purpose of the whole operation is really to discover what parts of the darkness still remain, uncovered by explanation. But this game has also a deeper, more philosophic purpose: to learn something about the very nature of explanation, to make clear some part of that most obscure matter-the process of knowing. (Epilogue, 1958)”

“According to studies led by Dr. Allan C. Wilson of the University of California, there is genetic evidence that the entire human species arose from a single female in North Africa between 140,000 and 280,000 years ago. In other words, it is conceivable that we all started from the womb of a single woman. ... Or would we find an even greater mystery, that the whole pantheon of our reality was somehow contained in the wobbling mind of that creature, who fell down to thank her raw new gods after a panther leaped at her throat, and by a miracle missed devouring us all.”
