Time is a slimy wimy thing,Life is a blessy messy thing.Love is a happy crappy thing,Mind is a mighty fighty thing.
There is life in walking, but death in running – there is life in communication, but death in talking – there is life in awareness, but death in judgement – so, be the life my friend, without the judgement, without the talking, without the running – simply be the life, full with sparkling communications, revelatory awareness and heart-warming walks.
Faith in God is optional, but faith in the self – in the spirit within, is imperative.
Painless poet cannot be,Doubtless scientist cannot be.Darkless dawn cannot be,Errorless existence cannot be.
My science is not rooted in cold logic venture, my science is rooted in human welfare.
59. What is memory?Memory is the fabric of time.60. What is time?Time is the meaning behind moments.(from 100 Questions of Life)
Truth changes based on the ignorance, and awareness, of your vantage point.
Curiosity is the lifeblood of science, not constant boasting of lifeless facts.
What was good enough for the fiction fearing men of the past, is no yardstick for the civilized us.
Give me a team of five, with an engineer, physicist, mathematician, coder and composer, and I’ll improvise a nation impenetrable, without needing to kill a single soldier.
Facts and fiction both are dreams. Facts are what fiction dreams to be, while fiction is the dream that facts have conquered. And the beauty of it all is that, at any given moment, both dreams are alive, just in different shape and strength.
Superstition is not divinity, any more than phrenology is brain science. Conspiracy is not enlightenment, any more than astrology is astrophysics.
If human mind perseveres long enough, every mystery soon reveals its truth.
My divinity is not rootedin god or scripture,my divinity is rootedin human welfare.My science is not rootedin cold logic venture,my science is rootedin human welfare.
Mind is the tether between facts and science,Mind is the line of life between words and poetry.People are the tether between mind and meaning,Soil is the tether between human and humility.
Truth is simple,Lies are complex.Light is simple,Darkness is complex.Curiosity is simple,Conspiracy is complex.Acceptance is simple,Discrimination is complex.Peace is simple, war is complex.Love is simple, hate is complex.
Science is a way of sight, and nobody walks it better than the undoctrinated.
Truth is not the journey from one veil to another. Truth involves peeling the veil one layer after another.
Tell them a lie big enough, they’ll worship you as a sage. Tell them a truth big enough and they’ll mock you.
Time is basically an illusion created by the mind to aid in our sense of temporal presence in the vast ocean of space. Without the neurons to create a virtual perception of the past and the future based on all our experiences, there is no actual existence of the past and the future. All that there is, is the present.
What was good enough for the fiction fearing men of the past, is no yardstick for the civilized us. Just like what we carve out for ourselves, may not be sufficient for future generations.
Bringing a candle to a neighbor’shome who had their power cut off,is far holier than lightinga thousand candles in the church.If you bring electricity to a marginalizedcommunity with a simple solar power kit,it’s a far greater scientific achievementthan the gargantuan glories of the LHC.There is no greater scientific achievementthan simple science solving big problems.There is no greater holiness than tradingin the bible for a simple act of kindness.
God is your motivation! Okay.Science is your motivation! Okay.What do you do with that,how do you lift the world!What’s your gift to the life most lay!
We mustn’t go back to living in caves by compromising all rationality, but at the same time, we mustn’t practice rationality to such an extreme that we kill the very warmth of the human spirit.
Truth is not an apple, that you can devour in a few bites – truth is an onion, peel off one layer, plenty more to peel alright.
When air becomes breath,and cells become sentient,Words become poetry,and facts become science.
Keep your mind open, just not so open that your brain starts leaking.
Facts and fiction both are dreams. Facts are what fiction dreams to be, while fiction is the dream that facts have conquered.
If you bring electricity to a marginalized community with a simple solar power kit, it’s a far greater scientific achievement than the gargantuan glories of the LHC.
A cup is just crockerytill there is coffee in it.A head is just a skulltill there’s a mind in it.
Brain is there to think first, then take a side, but society teaches you to pick a side first, then think alike. In a world of flexible spine and rigid mind, muster an unbending spine with expanding mind.
Moments are the marrow of memory, memories are the marrow of time.
Superstition is not divinity,Phrenology is not brain science.Astrology is not astrophysics,Conspiracy is not enlightenment.
Keep your mind open, just not so open that your brain starts leaking – an empty attic is a primate’s olympus.
Science, arts, music, innovation, that’s how you serve a nation. There is no greater dipsomaniac profession, than militarist infestation.
Science and knowledge are two different things – knowledge is a celebration of facts, science is a celebration of life using facts.
Religion without oneness is lame,Science without accountability is shame.Philosophy without gentleness is vain,Vision without virtue is inane.
If you want to believe,don’t ask for knowledge.If you want to know,don’t give in to belief.
