Indian Author Quotes

“In your name, the family name is at last because it's the family name that lasts.”

“You can take the Indian out of the family, but you cannot take the family out of the Indian.”

“Jesus taught his followers to think of God as Father. In India it is more common to speak of God as Divine Mother. Saints of various persuasions have successfully communed with God by similarly idealizing other human relations — such as Friend or Beloved. It makes no difference. When I feel the gravity of wisdom, I speak of God as the Father. When I feel unbounded, unconditional love I call God Divine Mother. When I feel God as the nearest of the near, supporter and confidant, I call Him Friend. Thus, it is a misnomer to refer to God always as "He." It is equally appropriate to call God "She." But in the ultimate, God is Spirit, neither masculine nor feminine. Spirit is above any human correlation. Similarly, the soul is neither male nor female, though karmic inclinations cause it to incarnate either with the body of a man or a woman.”

“One still questions the actions of the warriors on the battlefield, and whether that could have been averted or done differently. We always have a choice to do something either the right way or the easy way.”

“Evil is not supreme, for it feasts on the weaknesses of men. God gives strength to those who strive to find strength. Always believe, there is more good in the world than evil, and you can help in making sure that goodness prevails over evil.”

“Rabindranath Tagore’s Vision of a Free India: Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high; Where knowledge is free; Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls; … Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit; … Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.
