“Sri Yukteswar used to poke gentle fun at the commonly inadequate conceptions of renunciation."A beggar cannot renounce wealth," Master would say. "If a man laments: 'My business has failed; my wife has left me; I will renounce all and enter a monastery,' to what worldly sacrifice is he referring? He did not renounce wealth and love; they renounced him!"Saints like Gandhi, on the other hand, have made not only tangible material sacrifices, but also the more difficult renunciation of selfish motive and private goal, merging their inmost being in the stream of humanity as a whole.” IfsMenMadeWholeHandsUsedHumanityLeftFunDifficultGoalWealthWifeSacrificeMaterialsMastersAnd LoveSaintMy WifeSelfishGentleMotiveStreamsConceptionWorldlyTangibleBeggarInadequateRenounceReferringRenunciationLamentPokeMonasteriesMergingSelfish Motives Book:Autobiography of a Yogi Source: Autobiography of a Yogi
“Art that means anything in the life of a community must bear some relation to current interpretations of the mystery of the universe. Our rigid separation of the humanities and the sciences has temporarily left our art stranded or stammering and incoherent. Both art and science ought to be blended in our early education of our children's emotions and powers of observation, and that harmony carried forward in later education.” MeanChildrenArtHumanityUniverseLeftCommunityEmotionMysteryBearsOughtRelationHarmonyOur ChildrenCurrentsSeparationObservationInterpretationArt And ScienceStrandedEarly EducationStammering Author:Dora Russell
“I have not spoken in three years: not since I left boot camp. It has been three years of a senseless war, and though the reasons for it are clear, and though we will continue to fight until we are ordered to stop--and probably for a while after that--none of us can remember the hate that led us here. We are simply fighting to survive the war. It is a strange place to be at fifteen, bereft of hope and very nearly of your humanity. But that is where I am nonetheless.” YearsHas BeensWarReasonRememberHateHumanityFightingThreeLeftClearStrangeCampsThree YearsBootsFifteenBereftStrange PlacesBoot Camp Book:Song For Night Source: Song For Night
“Let the girl be thoroughly developed in body and soul, not modeled, like a piece of clay, after some artificial specimen of humanity, with a body like some plate in Godey's book of fashion, and a mind after the type of Father Gregory's pattern daughters, loaded down with the traditions, proprieties, and sentimentalities of generations of silly mothers and grandmothers, but left free to be, to grow, to feel, to think, to act. Development is one thing, that system of cramping, restraining, torturing, perverting, and mystifying, called education, is quite another.” ThinkingFeelsMindBookSoulBodyMotherHumanityGirlFatherLeftGrowsFreedomPiecesGenerationsOne ThingFashionTypeDevelopmentDaughterTraditionPatternsSillyGrandmotherArtificialPlatesClayLoadedSentimentalityProprietyRestrainingMother And Grandmother Book:History of woman suffrage Source: History of woman suffrage
