Quote
Take a child from any part of the world. Keep him away from religious texts and imagery. Just teach him meditation. As he evolves spiritually, the first thing he will see in meditation will be a Yogi whose head is adorned by a crescent moon (Shiva). Pictures of Hindu gods are based on experience of Yogis, not imagination of artists.

Quote

It’s easy to open your eyes to the temptations of this world. Soon you forget how to close them. It’s equally easy to shut your eyes to the world and sit in a cave. Soon your senses become as dead as that of a corpse. Only the awakened ones know how to open and close their eyes naturally.
