• Socrates

  ---

  Socrates believed that nothing bad can come to a good man.
  

• Intelligence

  ---

  Intelligence is built into every cell, every fibre, every muscle of our body. I do not have to worry about the body - that intelligence is there. My only duty is to find God, or to find what it is in me that forgets God - that creates division between myself and God. Can this be abolished at its very source?
  

• Master and Slave

  ---

  Mind wants to experience objects. The soul in ignorance identifies itself with mind and hence with desires and experiences. First you want to enjoy them as their master and then you are enslaved by them.
  

• Two Kinds of Changes

  ---

  We often hear "Times have changed; hence we should modify our attitude towards religion and give it up." This is obviously wrong. If a man is ill and suffering , it is a crime to say: "Yesterday you were well - times have changed, so we can't help."
  But there is an other type of change - natural change, e.g. old age. Here we do take change into account and do not expect the old man do what he did fifty years ago.
  There are certain unageing factors in religion and certain factors which are subject to change. We should discern between disease and old age in religion - and cure the disease!
  

• Remember

  ---

  We remember what we want to remember.
  Apart from a specific inability, like remembering names or numbers, we will not forget something that we want to remember.
