  • There are four great events in history, the siege of Troy, the life and crucifixion of Christ, the exile of Krishna in Brindaban and the colloquy on the field of Kurukshetra.

  • Those who have advanced rise to the mind which is in the head, - they have the play of their mental movements in the head itself.
