“Egotism erects its center in itself; love places it out of itself in the axis of the universal whole. Love aims at unity, egotism at solitude. Love is the citizen ruler of a flourishing republic, egotism is a despot in a devastated creation. Egotism sows for gratitude, love for the ungrateful. Love gives, egotism lends; and love does this before the throne of judicial truth, indifferent if for the enjoyment of the following moment, or with the view to a martyr's crown--indifferent whether the reward is in this life or in the next.” IfsGivingDoeWholeMomentsNextLove IsViewsCreationSelf LoveCitizensGratitudeSolitudeAnd LoveUniversalAimUnityRewardsFollowingThis LifeEnjoymentRepublicRulersCrownsIndifferentThronesMartyrEgotismJudicialUngratefulFlourishingDevastatedAxesDespotsLove Gratitude Book:Philosophical Letters of Friedrich Schiller Source: Philosophical Letters of Friedrich Schiller
“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

“We talk about a civilization and love and we're seeing it at the end.
