This site is dedicated to the memory of Dr. Alan William Smolowe who gave birth to the creation of this database.
The more you impress the truth upon the subconscious by love and worship, the more it will send it back to you. This is where you are the master. For, by forgiving the untruths and letting go of them, you will find that you have mastered them. You are above and beyond them; they are forgiven and forgotten.
A liar begins with making falsehood appear like truth and ends with making truth itself appear like falsehood.
Vivekananda, fully Sri or Swami Vivekananda, born Narendra Nath Datta NULL
Do not believe a thing because you read it in a book! Do not believe a thing because another has said it so! Find out the truth for yourself.

The ultimate truth of who you are is not I am this or I am that, but I Am.

Truth has a way of asserting itself despite all attempts to obscure it. Distortion only serves to derail it for a time. No matter to what lengths we humans may go to obfuscate facts or delude our fellows, truth has a way of squeezing out through the cracks, eventually.
What did grieve me was the idea of being excluded from the transcendent kingdom to which only the truly great has access and wherein truth abides. I preferred to die rather than live with that truth… [the very moment of death] was the centre and object of life… the instant when, for an infinitesimal fraction of time, pure truth, naked, certain and eternal, enters the soul.

Why not let people differ about their answers to the great mysteries of the Universe? Let each seek one's own way to the highest, to one's own sense of supreme loyalty in life, one's ideal of life. Let each philosophy, each world-view bring forth its truth and beauty to a larger perspective, that people may grow in vision, stature and dedication.
Beauty | Dedication | Life | Life | Loyalty | Loyalty | People | Philosophy | Sense | Truth | Universe | Vision | World | Beauty |
Without free speech no search for truth is possible... no discovery of truth is useful. Better a thousand fold abuse of free speech than denial of free speech. The abuse dies in a day, but the denial slays the life of the people.
