Everything is nothing, with a twist. —Kurt Vonnegut

I learned very early the difference between knowing the name of something and knowing something. 
You can know the name of that bird in all the languages of the world, but when you're finished, you'll know absolutely nothing whatever about the bird. You'll only know about humans in different places, and what they call the bird.

—Richard Feynman

You grieve for those that should not be grieved for.
The wise grieve neither for the living nor the dead.

Never at any time was I not, nor thou, nor these princes of men.
Nor shall we ever cease to be hereafter.

The unreal has no being.
The real never ceases to be.


—Bhagavad Gita, version
Chapter 2, verse 11

You must know that no man ever left himself so much in this life, but he could find more to leave. There are few who are truly aware of this and who are steadfast in it. It is really an equal exchange and barter:

Just as much as you go out of all things, just so much, neither more nor less, does God enter in with all that is His - if indeed you go right out of all that is yours.

Start with that, and let it cost you all you can afford. And in that you will find true peace, and nowhere else.


—Meister Eckhart
