The ‘relative’ delights the mind (manoranjan), the ‘real’ delights the Self (the soul, atmaranjan).

Boy George is all England needs. Another queen who can't dress.

We are condemned to kill time, thus we die bit by bit.

The wheels and springs of man are all set to the hypothesis of the permanence of nature. We are not built like a ship to be tossed, but like a house to stand.

Material abundance without character is the surest way to destruction.
