Interfaith dialogue in our time is going beyond the first step of appreciating other religions to a growing recognition that the religions of the world have much in common. The Christian participant may find something in Islam, for example, that can deepen his or her Christianity, and the Muslim participant may find something instructive from the teachings of Buddhism. The common ground between religions becomes more apparent as the dialogue partners penetrate beneath superficial disagreements in doctrine.
Without proverbs (traditional wisdom), language would be but a skeleton without flesh, a body without a soul.
The superior man acquaints himself with many sayings of antiquity / and many deeds of teh past, in order to strengthen his character, thereby.
The huge treasures begin valued at more than Rs one lakh crore found in sree Padmanabha Swami temple in Thiruvananthapuram were the "exclusive property" of the Tranvancore royal family that dedicated their kingdom to the presiding deity of the temple. Kanchi Sankarcharya Jayendra Saraswati said, "The treasures were offerings made by erstwhile rulers to the temple, hence the recoveries belonged to the royal family"
The greatest treasures are those invisible to the eye but found by the heart. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
The love, kindnesses and value we have given authentically to others will be our remaining treasures at the end of life
Fasting of the body is food for the soul. As bodily food fattens the body, so fasting strengthens the soul.
Fasting daily rituals, and austere self-discipline -those who keep the practice of these, are rewarded with less than a shell
