It is very easy to conform to what your society or your parents and teachers tell you. That is a safe and easy way of existing; but that is not living; To live is to find out for yourself what is true.
JIDDU KRISHNAMURTIWhere there is love, do what you will, it will be right action. It will never bring conflict to one’s life. In the flame of love, all fear is consumed.
