We see that the spiritual world is characterized by an atmosphere of selflessness and of the animated love of dynamic association. There is an intense mood of appreciation and caring that creates the dynamic synergy of devotees working together on different services which are perfectly Krishna-centered.

If we do not receive Her blessings, it is guaranteed that we will remain disqualified. View quote

This example illustrates the differences in the effects which may be produced by research in pure or applied science. A research on the lines of applied science would doubtless have led to improvement and development of the older methods - the research in pure science has given us an entirely new and much more powerful method. In fact, research in applied science leads to reforms, research in pure science leads to revolutions, and revolutions, whether political or industrial, are exceedingly profitable things if you are on the winning side.

J. J. Thomson

It studies all thinkable relationships abstracted from any concrete situation or body of empirical knowledge. View quote
Kenneth Boulding

Lytton Strachey
There is an inward state of the heart which makes truth credible the moment it is stated. It is credible to some men because of what they are.
