From Time To Time Ponder Whether You

An Egocentric Pessimist Is A Person Who Thinks He Hasn't Changed, But That Other People Are Behaving Worse Than Before.

Knowledge Is Something Which You Can Use. Belief Is Something Which Uses You.

One Can Give Or Withhold In A Manner Far More Effective, Sophisticated, Useful, Which Is Quite Invisible To People Who Think That Giving Or Withholding Is Done By External Assessment. If You Seek Some Mark Of Favour Or 'promotion', Know That You Are Not Ready For It. Progress Comes Through Capacity To Learn, And Is Irresistible. Nobody Can Stand Between You And Knowledge If You Are Fit For It.

When Prayer, Rituals And Ascetic Life Are Just A Means Of Self-indulgence, They Are Harmful Rather Than Beneficial. This Is Quite Obvious To People Nowadays, When It Is Widely Recognised That Fixations Are Not The Same As Valuable And Laudable Observances. One Should Not Pray If That Prayer Is Vanity; Rituals Are Wrong When They Provide Lower Satisfactions, Like Emotional Stimulus Instead Of Enlightenment; He Or She Should Not Be An Ascetic Who Is Only Enjoying It.
