All that we see and know does not exist in reality, because it is the product of our limited ability to understand reality.

 

Instead of saying that the world is reflected in our intellect, better to say that our intellect is reflected in the world.

— George Lichtenberg

 

Old fortresses are destroyed, monuments to kings are demolished, old age ravages our bodies. Only the teachings of kindness are never ruined or affected by age.

 

As soon as a person truly looks at himself as only a physical body, then he sees an unsolved puzzle, a contradiction that cannot be unraveled.

 

In order to understand the true essence of a thing we must transform the physical into the spiritual.
