The name of Ramakrishna has lately been so often mentioned in Indian, American, and English newspapers that a fuller account of his life and doctrine seemed to me likely to be welcome, not only to the many who take an interest in the intellectual and moral state of India, but to the few also to whom the growth of philosophy and religion, whether at home or abroad, can never be a matter of indifference.

El universo es un organismo vivo. No tiene leyes, sino hábitos. Esa es la gran intuición de la cosmología budista. A ella se añade otra, que proviene del pensamiento védico y que hereda el sāṃkhya: la mente no es la conciencia. La naturaleza está hecha de la materia sutil de la mente, una mente extendida, que dialoga constantemente con una conciencia que lo permea todo, que no puede entenderse según las directrices del espacio y el tiempo. El cosmos experimenta procesos cíclicos de creación y disolución que se desarrollan en función de la evolución espiritual de los seres que lo habitan.

Living transcendentally is not the same as "having the answers to life". The intention with which this book is written is to help you identify the God within yourself.

People who over-identify with one group or tribe for ideological reasons invariably meet with disappointment because there will always be some tenets they internally oppose and disagree with. Yet they ignore their inner voice in order to "fit in with the rest".

Rather than entertain dogma, Cicero approaches a discussion of Buddhism from the refreshing perspective of the everyman, providing a profound spiritual analysis as well as a sharp critique of capitalism. There are even some pretty good ghost stories.
