“You hear about people your whole life, 'So-and-so has cancer,' and you're like, 'Wow, that's too bad,' and then most people tend to go about their day. But when someone tells you that it's your father or it's your family, that doesn't tend to go away.” PeopleWholeFatherCancerWhole LifeOur FamilyGoing AwayWow Author:Jake Owen
“The rishis of old attained the Knowledge of Brahman. One cannot have this so long as there is the slightest trace of worldliness. How hard the rishis laboured ! Early in the morning they would go away from the hermitage, and would spend the whole day in solitude, meditating on Brahman. At night they would return to the hermitage and eat a little fruit or roots. They kept their mind aloof from the objects of sight, hearing, touch, and other things of a worldly nature. Only thus did they realize Brahman as their own inner conciousness.” WorldMindLittlesLongHardWholeNightRealizingMorningObjectsReturnSolitudeRootsSightFruitHearingGoing AwayWorldlyMeditatingAloofBrahmanWorldliness Author:Ramakrishna
