“I am old, and death inevitably approaches. But both birth and death are beyond the will of a human being. They are not my domain. I do not think about it. Yoga has taught me to think of only working to live a useful life...I will never stop learning, and it have tried to share some lessons with you. I do pray that my ending will be your beginning. The great rewards and the countless blessings of a life spent following the Inward Journey await you.” ThinkingHumansHuman BeingsJourneyShareTaughtPrayingBirthLessonsBlessingApproachYogaRewardsFollowingInwardDomainBirth And DeathNever Stop LearningGreat RewardUseful Life Author:B.K.S.

“What is the problem of women's freedom? It seems to me to be this: how to arrange the world so that women can be human beings, with a chance to exercise their infinitely varied gifts in infinitely varied ways, instead of being destined by the accident of their sex to one field of activity--housework and child-raising.

“It is rather more noble to help people purely out of concern for their suffering than it is to help them because you think the Creator of the Universe wants you to do it, or will reward you for doing it, or will punish you for not doing it. The problem with this linkage between religion and morality is that it gives people bad reasons to help other human beings when good reasons are available.” PeopleThinkingWantGivingHumansReasonHelpingProblemSufferingUniverseHuman BeingsMoralityConcernRewardsCreatorAvailableNobleHelping OthersLinkages Author:Sam Harris
