“[Children are] like talking animals. Their consciousness is so different from ours that they constitute a different species. They don't have to be particularly interesting children; just the fact that they are children is sufficient. They don't know what anything is, so they have to make it up. No matter how dull they are, they still have to figure things out for themselves.” KnowsChildrenStillsDifferentMatterFactsAnimalInterestingConsciousnessTalkingFiguresSpeciesSufficientDull Author:Fran Lebowitz
“When the head of a goat is severed from its body, the trunk struggles for some time, still showing signs of life. Similarly, though ahamkara (egotism) is slain in the perfect man, yet enough of its vitality is left to make him carry on the functions of physical life; but it is not sufficient to bind him again into the world.” MenWorldStillsEnoughBodyLeftPerfectStruggleFunctionSufficientVitalityEgotismGoatsTrunksPerfect ManSigns Of Life Book:Sayings of Sri Ramakrishna: The Most Exhaustive Collection of Them, Their Number Being 1120 Source: Sayings of Sri Ramakrishna: The Most Exhaustive Collection of Them, Their Number Being 1120
