“Generally speaking, an Indian university must regard itself as one of the living organs of national reconstruction. It must discover the best means of blending together both the spiritual and the material aspects of life. It must equip its alumni irrespective of caste, creed or sex, with individual fitness, not for its own sake, not for merely adorning varied occupations and professions, but in order to teach them how to merge their individuality in the common cause of advancing the progress and prosperity of their motherland and upholding the highest traditions of human civilisation.” HumansMeanTogetherSpiritualOrderIndividualSexCausesCommonTeachProgressMaterialsHighestAspectTraditionRegardUniversitySakeIndividualityProsperityProfessionIndianOccupationOrgansCreedsCivilisationAdvancingReconstructionCastesAspects Of LifeMotherlandAlumni Author:Syama Prasad Mukherjee

“I was in my late thirties and decided my intention in life had nothing to do with the acquiring of material things, but rather it was now my intention to experience the evolution of my own soul and to grow spiritually. I wanted to come to know the highest truths of life and to express those truths in action, through myself.

“To transcend means to "go beyond," but this need not compel us to an ornate dualist view that regards transcendent levels of reality (e.g., the spiritual level) to be not of this world. We can "go beyond" the "ordinary" powers of the material world through the power of patterns. Rather than a materialist, I would prefer to consider myself a "patternist." It's through the emergent powers of the pattern that we transcend.” WorldNeedsMeanRealitySpiritualLevelsViewsThis WorldMaterialsOrdinaryRegardPatternsTranscendentMaterial World Author:Ray Kurzweil
“The philosophies that have been inspired by scientific technique are power philosophies, and tend to regard everything non-human as mere raw material. Ends are no longer considered; only the skillfulness of the process is valued. This also is a form of madness.

“God sees the minds (ruling principles) of all men bared of the material vesture and rind and impurities. For with his intellectual part alone he touches the intelligence only which has flowed and been derived from himself into these bodies. And if thou also usest thyself to do this, thou wilt rid thyself of thy much trouble. For he who regards not the poor flesh which envelops him, surely will not trouble himself by looking after raiment and dwelling and fame and such like externals and show.” IfsMenMindShowsBodyPoorPrinciplesTroubleMaterialsFameIntellectualRegardFleshRulingThyselfDwellingImpurity Book:Thoughts of Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Source: Thoughts of Marcus Aurelius Antoninus

“There's always a joy in newness as a painter, and in sub-Saharan Africa, I encountered different realities with regard to light and how it bounces across the skin. The way that blues and purples come into play. In India and Sri Lanka, it was no different. It became a moment in which I had an opportunity to learn as a painter how to create the body in full form, and that's a very material and aesthetic thing. This is not conceptual.
