“Democracy is essentially a means, a utilitarian device for safeguarding internal peace and individual freedom. As such it is by no means infallible or certain. Nor must we forget that there has often been much more cultural and spiritual freedom under an autocratic rule than under some democracies and it is at least conceivable that under the government of a very homogeneous and doctrinaire majority democratic government might be as oppressive as the worst dictatorship.” MeanGovernmentMightSpiritualCertainIndividualForgetDemocracyWorstMajorityDemocraticInternalsDevicesDictatorshipInfallibleIndividual FreedomUtilitarianSpiritual FreedomDemocratic GovernmentHomogeneousSafeguardingInternal Peace Author:Friedrich August von Hayek

“Baba tells us that when we serve another, we should remind ourselves that we are serving the Divinity within that other. This is something that we frequently forget, for it needs a very big mental re-adjustment. Don't worry about it -- just serve! But the very least that is demanded of us in this context is to RESPECT the person we are serving. That includes respecting their beliefs; in fact, it means reaching their spiritual Self through their beliefs, not ours. It means putting oneself in their shoes; cheering them up if possible, but seeing things from their point of view.” IfsNeedsShouldMeanPersonsSelfFactsBigsSpiritualBeliefForgetViewsWorrySeeingShoesOneselfPoint Of ViewReachingDivinityServingCheerAdjustmentBaba Author:Sathya Sai Baba

“When you say that [Martin Luther] King was a prophet, you don't say that he predicted anything; you say that he bore witness. He left a committed life so that people would never forget the suffering of people that he was connected to. King was prophetic because he lived a committed life.

Return unmotivates the moment and frees life of ends.” MeanEndsMomentsForgetMoralReturnOughtEternalCaughtDoctrineMotivatedCaught UpMoments Of Life Author:Georges Bataille
