There is pleasure when a sore is scratched, But to be without sores is more pleasurable still. Just so, there are pleasures in worldly desires, But to be without desires is more pleasurable still.
- Nagarjuna, 150 BC
The Soul appears to be finite because of ignorance. When ignorance is destroyed the Self which does not admit of any multiplicity truly reveals itself by itself: like the Sun when the clouds pass away.
- Adi Shankara, 788 AD
Bondage and Liberation are of the mind alone.
- Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
