"Men indeed think I have come to bring peace to the world 

But they do not know that I have come to bring the world discord:

fire, sword, war

Indeed, if there are five in a house

they will become three against two and two against three

father against son and son against father

and they will be lifted up, being solitaries."

 

GoT #16

Quote

Raja yoga, samadhi, unmani, manonmani, amaratva, laya, tatva, sunya, asunya, parama pada, amanaska, advaita, niralamba, niranjana, jivanmukti, sahaja and turiya denote the same state of being.

Just as with salt dissolved in water becomes one with it, so the union of Atman and Manas (mind) is denominated samadhi,
When the breath becomes exhausted, and mind becomes Praliyate (still, reabsorbed), they fuse into union called samadhi.

 

This equality, this oneness of the two, the living self and the absolute self, when all Sankalpa (desire, cravings) end is called samadhi.

 

— Hath Yoga Pradipika, 4.3 - 4.7

Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what's for dinner.

[silent thunder]

Democracy:  The rather naive notion that the greediest of people, working from selfish motives, if left to pursue their interests unimpeded... will somehow work to the benefit of all.

 

Oligarchy:  Born of Democracy.

[Marblehead]

The greediest of people will keep doing what they do regardless of the government they have in their pockets.

"It is known to him to whom It is unknown; he to whom It is known does not know It. It is unknown to those who know, and known to those who know not." ~Kena Upanishad

I love finally being able to accept when I don't know shit... it's very freeing.

[OldDog]

'The one who thinks he does not know is profound, and the one who thinks he knows is shallow. The former deals with the inner reality, the latter with appearance.' Zhuangzi. (Lin Yutang)

[Marblehead]

"Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence. True friendship is a plant of slow growth, and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation." - George Washington

"I am?"

I apologize for the underlining.  It came with the quote and I was feeling tired and lazy.
