"Physical action [paudgalik kriya] will give only worldly fruits; it will not go in vain. If you plant sugar cane, you will eat sweet food and if you plant bitter gourd, you will eat bitter food. Plant whichever taste appeals to you and if you want liberation [Moksha], then don't plant anything. Stop sowing seeds altogether."

Mind
"Variety is more than a means of avoiding boredom, since art is more than an entertainment of the senses."
Art
"The least touchable object in the world is the eye."
Eye
"In many instances, order is apprehended first of all by the senses."

Art
"Rather than be asked to abandon one's own heritage and to adapt to the mores of the new country, one was expected to possess a treasure of foreign skills and customs that would enrich the resources of American living."
Heritage

Art
