“It excites world wonder in the Parliamentary countries that we should build a Chamber, starting afresh, which can only seat two-thirds of its Members. It is difficult to explain this to those who do not know our ways.

“Flaubert spoke true: to succeed a great artist must have both character and fanaticism and few in this country are willing to pay the price.

"Gnothi seauton," as the Greeks used to say. "Know thyself." But to know thyself, if you trace it back, to the deeper and deeper levels, you discover that that self is not your body or your ego or your personality or your country or anything, that's just a sack of self-definitions that you carry around with you” IfsKnowsSelfCountryDreamBodyUsedUniverseLevelsConsciousnessDutyPersonalityTruth IsEgoDefinitionsDeeperYour BodyGreekLapThyselfKnow Thyself Author:Goswami Kriyananda
