When I read the Bhagavad-Gita and reflect about how God created this universe everything else seems so superfluous

I have always disliked the fierce competitive spirit embodied in that highly intellectual game.

We must remember that we do not observe nature as it actually exists, but nature exposed to our methods of perception. The theories determine what we can or cannot observe...Reality is an illusion, albeit a persistent one.

... we will hope that future historians will explain the morbid symptoms of present-day society as the childhood ailments of an aspiring humanity, due entirely to the excessive speed at which civilization was advancing.

I have only two rules which I regard as principles of conduct. The first is: Have no rules. The second is: Be independent of the opinion of others.

God always takes the simplest way.

It is impossible to solve significant problems using the same knowledge that created them.
