"And also those who are free, through the powers of meditation and yoga, percieve established in themselves like reflections in a mirror."-Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa, The Mahabharata: Volume 1
"You should not sorrow for that which was bound to happen. Those who are wise do not feel sorry over fate. Even with the greatest wisdom, that which is ordained will happen. No one can transgress the path that has been laid down. Time brings existence and non-existence, pleasure and pain. Time creates all elements and time destroys all beings. Time burns all subjects and it is time that extinguishes the fire. Time alone is awake when everything is asleep. Time cannot be conquered. Time walks in all elements, pervasive and impartial. Knowing that everything, past, present and future, is created by time, it is not appropriate that you should be consumed by grief."-Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa, The Mahabharata: Volume 1
