"Thoughtfulness, her companion
From her earliest cradle days,
Embellished the flow of rural leisure
With dreams for her.
Her delicate fingers
Knew neither needles nor how to bend over embroidery frames;
With a silk pattern, she
Did not bring canvases to life.
A sign of the desire to rule,
The child, with her obedient doll,
Playfully prepares herself
For propriety, for the law of society,
And solemnly repeats to it
The lessons of her dear mother."
A. S. Pushkin, "Eugene Onegin"

"... The sheikh pondered, then said:

— What you are seeking is called the Tree of Knowledge. Its branches stretch into infinity, and I know where this tree grows. It—the one and only such tree in the whole world. You were asking about something entirely different; what mattered to you was its name, not its essence. Ignorance and failure to understand the essence are always fraught with many troubles, including those you have endured!"

Rumi, a Sufi parable

"Do not be afraid of the dense fog.
Do not be afraid of an empty pocket.
Do not be afraid of mountain streams,
Nor swampy bogs, nor filthy scoundrels.
Learn to laugh in the face of every fear—
Fear only your own cowardice.
Do not be afraid of a difficult task,
But be afraid of cheap success.
Do not be afraid to be honest and beaten,
But be afraid to be deceitful and well-fed."
Yevgeny Yevtushenko

"The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others."
Mahatma Gandhi

"Yes, one must pretend, one must deceive, always and in everything. And all because within me there probably lie thoughts, plans, hopes—cruel, magnificent, ruthless—and I know nothing about them. A person set out toward other worlds and new civilizations without fully knowing their own soul: its hidden corners, dead ends, bottomless wells, and tightly bolted doors."
"Solaris," S. Lem

"Pain exists only in resistance,
Joy only in acceptance.
Even events filled with pain
Become joyful
When we accept them with an open heart;
Even events filled with joy
Turn painful
If we do not accept them.
There is no such thing as a bad experience…
There is simply resistance to what is."

"The reason people do not become enlightened on their own, naturally, is that they have divided the world into good and evil, God and the devil, high and low, sacred and mundane, pure and impure, heaven and hell. These are parallel lines that will never intersect.
If you have thus split everything that exists within yourself, it is no longer possible to attain a state of lasting well-being and freedom. You were told to love your enemy."
Sadhguru
