It is astonishing that one who is unattached to the things of this world or the next,
who discriminates between the permanent and the impermanent,
and who longs for liberation,
should still be afraid of liberation.
-- Ashtavakra Gita
The Eternal Light
Believe nothing because a wise man said it;
Believe nothing because it is generally held;
Believe nothing because it is written;
Believe nothing because it is said to be divine;
Believe nothing because somebody else believes it;
Believe only what you yourself judge to be true
- Gautam Buddha
