Reason and Logic

Restrain in the mind until it dissolves in the consciousness. This is wisdom, this is meditation. The rest is all logic and verbal extensions

Amritabindu Upanishad

Be happy for no reason from no cause, at all times

Swami Bed Bharati

There will have to be rigid and iron discipline before we achieve anything great and enduring, and that discipline will not come by mere academic argument and appeal to reason and logic

M.K. Gandhi

God is a philosophical blank hole - the point where reason breaks down

Kedar Joshi

Logic and cold reason are poor weapons to fight fear and distrust. Only faith and generosity can overcome them

Jawaharlal Nehru

A man who sees action in inaction and inaction in action has understanding amont men and discipline in all actions he performs.

Bhagavad Gita 2.4

Vigor, forgiveness, fortitude, purity, absence of overweening pride - these belong to the one who is born with Divine treasures

Bhagavad Gita 16.6

Maitreyi: you want to offer me all your wealth I have a question: Can I become immortal through wealth? Yajnavalkya: Far from it: You will be a well-to-do person like any other in the world, but there is no hope of immortality through wealth.

Brihadaranyaka Upanishad

He who gives liberally goes straight to the gods; on the high ridge of heaven he stands exalted.

Rig Veda 1.125.5

Every Sacrifice is a boat to heaven

Satapatha Brahmana
