Paraphrasing Socrates, “Is it right because the Vedas approve it, or the Vedas approve it because it is right.”

“Sartre’s observation that ‘Hell is other people’ is correct insofar as other people might keep stymying our expectations of something or the other from them, be it affection, friendship, love, or the million dollars that we want to borrow from them.”

“Worship the idol called neighbour.”

“Who’s to say what is right and what is wrong. The only thing wrong is mistaking the body-mind to be oneself…rest all does not matter…”

“Do we really need to get married or is companionship really necessary. And, even if companionship is necessary, why should we think we can get that only in a marital relationship?”

“At the level of duality, apart from the practical and scientific truths, the only mystical truth I see in life is love.”

“It takes helluva lot wisdom to be happy without love in one’s life.”

“The pot is just a name-and-form of clay. What is your clay?”

“I, Sam, am just a shadow cast by Truth.”

“Life always feels like an unfinished project.”

“I sit on the sidelines and watch the Kurukshetra Wars happening.”

“God is moving around wearing the disguise of you and me.”
