"The buddhi [intellect] is today's gain, it is today's experience! Whereas, akkal [insight, wisdom] is a nature's gift!"

"I sought her eye, desirous to read there the intelligence which I could not discern in her face or hear in her conversation; it was merry, rather small; by turns I saw vivacity, vanity, coquetry, look out through its irid, but I watched in vain for a glimpse of soul. I am no Oriental; white necks, carmine lips and cheeks, clusters of bright curls, do not suffice for me without that Promethean spark which will live after the roses and lilies are faded, the burnished hair grown grey.

Laborers do not have even five 'revolutions' per minute and an intellectual has one to two thousand 'revolutions' per minute. The higher the 'revolutions, the quicker he will understand this 'Science' [Akram Vignan]."

"A great deal of thought is only a substitute for the thoughts that the individual would really find useful at the time."

"These little grey cells. It is up to them."
