Jonathan Safran Foer

"We have to seek knowledge, and infuse ourselves with so much light that can only come from knowledge."

Quote_1.png
Jonathan Safran Foer

"If you want to know the answer to 'Who am I?', then you will have to go to a Gnani purush [the enlightened one]. The Gnani Purush will give you Knowledge of your real Self [Who Am I] in the presence of the egoism. Thereafter your accounts (karmic) will be settled [& things will start falling in place]."

Jonathan Safran Foer

"Where there is no Sachchidanand [sat-chit-anand, eternal knowledge and vision leading to bliss], there is night (darkness)."

Quote_1.png
Jonathan Safran Foer

"Whatever one knows, he knows on the basis of his egoism. The 'Gnani' [The enlightened one], who doesn't know how to do anything; has no egoism whatsoever."

Quote_1.png
Jonathan Safran Foer

"Gnani Purush' [the enlightened one] has become 'Soul' (Atma, Self) while staying with the body."

Quote_1.png
Jonathan Safran Foer

"Those who are truly enlightened, those whose souls are illuminated by love, have been able to overcome all of the inhibitions and preconceptions of their era. They have been able to sing, to laugh, and to pray out loud; they have danced and shared what Saint Paul called 'the madness of saintliness'. They have been joyful - because those who love conquer the world and have no fear of loss. True love is an act of total surrender."

Jonathan Safran Foer

"If you take an objection in the 'relative', it is intellectual rationalism. 'We' don't have intellectual rationalism. 'We' are abuddha (do not have intellect) in the 'relative', and we are a Gnani [the enlightened one] in the 'real'."

Jonathan Safran Foer

"God didn't tell us to suspend our minds he rather challenged us to come and reason, to use our reasoning faculties."

Quote_1.png
Jonathan Safran Foer

"Light is what we are called to preach. Our lord and saviour called himself light of the world."

Quote_1.png
Jonathan Safran Foer

"Wisdom is a great prophet, faith is a great warrior, knowledge is a great sage, and virtue is a great priest."
