"Love without power is meaningless. Power without love is tyrannical."

---Martin Luther King Jr.

The Upanishads offer to each aspiring heart countless messages. There are quite a few messages which are at once most significant and most fulfilling. Here is a stupendous message about life and death. Before death and after death, what happens? This is the message of the Upanishads: 543

(Before death, life is a seeker. 544

After death, the same life becomes a dreamer. 545

Before death, life struggles and strives for Perfection. 546

After death, the same life rests and enjoys the divine Bliss with the soul. 547

Before death, life is God’s Promise. 548

After death, life is God’s inner Assurance. This Assurance of God’s we notice while we fulfil God in our future incarnation. 549

Life for each individual is an act of inspiration and revelation. Life is an experience; even so is death. Our human life is God’s sacred flame mounting towards the highest Source. Human death, the so-called death, is a secret play of God’s Will. 550

When we study the Upanishads we start with the concentration of the mind. This concentration of the mind is the most difficult thing that we can do)
{in my interpretation of this text, realizing the many gods included in this religion, I choose to interpret god in many alternate ways except for the god-concepts of Judeo-Christianity}

Dont know who said this but I like this quote "Remember at the end of the game the King and the Pawn goes back into the same box"

"The mind of man is capable of anything--because everything is in it, all the past as well as all the future." ....Joseph Conrad

"Now and then it's good to pause in our pursuit of happiness and just be happy." Guillaume Apollinairea

I don't know about all those quotes. I guess some are good. I like your user name though. That reminds me of being in a teenager in the 90's and everyone listened to the "alternative" stations that were playing "alternative" bands but it wasn't so alternative because everyone was jumping on that bandwagon. And somewhere along the line, I started referring to that type of music as alter native instead of alternative (most likely someone else said it first and i just copied - i am not claiming that I started this) and your username reminded me of that. I have no idea if you know what I am talking about, but just so you know. :)

I do not want people to be agreeable, as it saves me that trouble of liking them. - Jane Austen

All is fair

oh,don't get me started about fav quotes! I am a sincere quote collector(I don't know how it sounded,but it's true) and i jot down them whenever I come accross a resembling one(you know,resembling with my own opinions) Here goes some-
"If the facts don't fit the theory,change the facts."-Albert Einstein (coolest,isn't it?suits him!)
"Nothing begins and nothing ends
And that is not paid with moan
For we are born in others' pain
And perish in our own."
(don't know who said that,though,I just keep saying it to myself)

"I shall smile when wreaths of snow
Blossom where the rose should grow,
I shall sing when night's decay
Ushers in a drearier day."
-Emily Bronte

"There is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so."-Shakespeare

"Our thoughts are nothing but the mere followers of the privileges that we utterly desire." -(said by T.Rahman,polished by me)

"Heaven gives its glimpses to those
Not in the position to look too close."-Robert Frost
