“La realtà imperitura, il Brahman, senza principio e senza fine, che è essenzialmente Parola, appare nella forma dell'insieme degli oggetti: da esso deriva la creazione dell'universo.

Bhartṛhari: Frasi in inglese

“When I knew but a little, I was blinded by pride as an elephant is blinded by rut from excitement, and my mind was puffed up with the idea that I knew everything. When, however, I gradually gained knowledge through the contact of the wise I found I was a fool; and the pride, which had possessed me like a fever, left me.”

Those men are demons who destroy another's good for their own profit. What shall we call those who aimlessly destroy that which is another's?”
