Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Gopalakrishnan Chandrasekaran
We should all work towards a unified world of harmony and peace through attention to the esoteric aspects of life. The sectarian belief approach divides people and creates tension. Further, such an approach prevents pure self-awareness because it expects slavery to a system from its adherents. What is needed is a boldness to question and proceed as an explorer towards the truth. As an English poet said, "They are slaves who dare not be in the right of two or three." It should be noted here that group psychology is different from mob psychology only in degree, not in kind. Therefore, when people do not fall into groups of believers or non-believers (atheists, agnostics etc), then there is a possibility that they can remain open-minded and discover the truth. each one in one's own way. They create no enemies. My wish is to share with people whatever I have found meaningful in the deeper realms of life, body and mind.
