Intro

"Only that day dawns to which we are awake."

Thoreau

"There is no other choice left for a number of people except to resort to ascetic seclusion in a country which has been reduced to the helplessness of a widow, has been squeezed of all its valour and manliness has been bled white and made a skeleton, has been robbed of its pristine glory and has, therefore, sunk into gloom and despair."

"Away with works,

Philosophy too;

All I want

Is bhakti for you.

Vanish knowledge,

Discretion too;

All I want

Is bhakti for you."

Tukaram (a Maharashtrian Saint)

"Like most human things, discipleship has its good and its evil, its strong and its poor and dangerous side; but it really has a good and strong side;? its manly and reasonable humility, the enthusiasm of having and recognising a great master, and doing what he wanted done."

Dean Church
