| Quote of the moment |
| Individuals who are best suited for practice are those who are not only intellectually gifted, but also have single-pointed faith and dedication, and are wise. These people are most receptive to sprititual practice. In the second group, individuals may not be highly intelligent but they have a rock-solid foundation in faith. The unfortunate are those in the third category. Although these individuals may be highly intelligent, they are always dogged by scepticism and doubts. They are clever, but they tend to be hesitant and sceptical and are never really able to settle down. These people are the least receptive. |

| Quote of the moment |
| Perhaps we shall be able to overtake that elusive feeling of absurdity in the different but closely related worlds of intelligence, of the art of living, or of art itself. The climate of absurdity is in the beginning. The end is the absurd universe and that attitude of mind which lights the world with its true colors to bring out the privileged and implacable visage which that attitude has discerned in it. |
| ~ The Myth of Sisyphus, An Absurd Reasoning, Absurd Walls, Albert Camus (1913 - 1960) ~ |

| Quote of the moment |
| The sailor is frankness, the landsman is finesse. Life is not a game with the sailor, demanding the long head—no intricate game of chess where few moves are made in straight-forwardness and ends are attained by indirection, an oblique, tedious, barren game hardly worth that poor candle burnt out in playing it. |
| ~ Herman Melville (1819–1891), U.S. author. Billy Budd, Sailor (posthumous), ch 16, eds. Harrison Hayford and Merton M. Sealts, Jr. (1962). ~ |

| Trembling like a fish tossed from the sea upon the shore, the mind quivers uncontrollably, stranded in the realm of Mara. |
