What is RELIGION ???

It is compassion for all

things which have LIFE....

Hitopadesa

[i-need-an-egress]

The mongoose in The Brahman and his faithful Ichneumon (Hitopadesa book 4, fable 13).

This one's for an extremely niche crowd I'm afraid, but just trust me this is funny

« Is this one of ours, or a stranger—so calculate the small-minded; To those of noble conduct, the whole world is the family » - Hitopadesa

[sanskritpoems]

kāvya-śāstra-vinodena kālaḥ gacchati dhīmatām |

vyasanena tu mūrkhāṇām nidrayā kalahena vā ||

time flies for intelligent people in the relishing of poetry and science;

but for fools, through drinking, sleeping, and bickering.

[itsquoted]

What is distance to the indefatigable?

Hitopadesa

[nimestyle-blog]

From all things, knowledge is the best, because it is not taxable nor responsibility can not be stolen, because it can not be bought, and can not be destroyed.

by Hitopadesa

[itsquoted]

Like a plank of driftwood Tossed on the watery main, Another plank encountered, Meets, touches, parts again; So tossed, and drifting ever, On life’s unresting sea, Men meet, and greet, and sever, Parting eternally.
