  QUOTES OF 'YOU AS OWN GURU'  No one and nothing outside of you can give you salvation, or free you from the misery. You have to light your own lamp. You have to know the miniature universe that you yourself are. ~ Banani Ray  There are more fake gurus and false teachers in this world than the number of stars in the visible universe. Don’t confuse power-driven, self-centered people with true mentors. ~ Shams Tabrizi You have all the answers within you. To stop seeking for answers outside of you is the start of being found. You are the answer. You are your guru. ~ Todd Perelmuter The ocean of knowledge is hidden within you, your soul is your (only) guru. ~ Santosh Kumar (San) The guru becomes useless when there is a particle of self-knowledge.

QUOTES The word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses. ~ Albert Einstein People with Gods kill people. ~ David Viaene I refuse to believe in a god who is the primary cause of conflict in the world, preaches racism, sexism, homophobia, and ignorance, and then sends me to hell if I'm 'bad'. ~ Mark Fuhrman The word [God] leads to illusion which we worship, and for this illusion we destroy each other willingly...Through lack of intelligence we accept the idea of a super-intelligence which we call ‘God; but this ‘God’, this super-intelligence, is not going to give us a better life. What leads to a better life is intelligence; and there cannot be intelligence if there is belief, if there are class divisions, if the means of production are in the hands of a few, if there are isolated nationalities and sovereign governments. All this obviously indicates lack of intelligence and it is the lack of intelligence that is preventing a better liv

  Curriculum quotes Curriculum development is both an art and a science, requiring creativity, expertise, and a deep understanding of pedagogy. ~ Asuni Lady Zea Most teachers know what they're going to cover this week or this term. Few of us can specify precisely what students should know, understand, and be able to do as a result of any particular learning experience or set of learning experiences. Without that specificity, alignment between content, assessment, and instruction is weak. ~ Carol Ann Tomlinson Curriculum should help children make deeper and fuller understanding of their own experience ~Lilian Katz  ABCs of curriculum developmen t A: Adaptation of National considerations to age-grade-cultural context of children with well-thought appropriately aligned learning outcomes or specific objective B: Both the presentation of content or subject matter in a printed form and the two-way communication brought about by lessons / assignments for purposes of didactic conversation

  QUOTES We are the result of propaganda, what we have been told from childhood to believe and not to believe. Knowledge is the past; there is no knowledge in the present. To be aware without choice is to observe without the observer, which is the past, the image-maker.   Our conscious and unconscious responses to all the challenges of our environment - intellectual, emotional, outward and inward - all these are the action of conditioning. Language is conditioning; all thought is the action, the response of conditioning.   Without freedom from the past, there is no freedom to all...To perceive the present, the past must be absent. ~ J KRISHANAMURTI HAIKU  Put aside your past Shaped by illusionary world - Conditioned lifestyle  *** Practice empathy Compassion, love for all Oppressed and deprived  *** Raise your mind and heart Beyond the gross and mundane False material world  *** Live minimal life Imbued with humility To serve whole mankind  *** Mak

  QUOTES Spirituality has nothing to do with the atmosphere you live in. It’s about the atmosphere you create within yourself. ~Sadhguru   Negation is the state of enlightenment which functions in all the activities of a man who is free of the past. It is the past, with its tradition and its authority that has to be negated. Negation is freedom, and it is the free man who lives, loves, and knows what it means to die...[It] is state of mind in which there is no duality, therefore no resistance or conflict between opposites. In this state there are no opposites, and this state is not the opposite of something else ~ J Krishnamurti   When non-truths are eliminated, what remains is the Absolute Truth, profound and pristine, devine and delightful. ~Raj Bhagavathi   Inspired Haiku   Being spiritual means - Faith in cosmic consciousness And own soulfulness *** To begin, turn inward Withdraw from transient outer Shun materialism *** Deem existential Truth Trans-  pe

QUOTES ON PRESENT MOMENT When we are in alignment with the present moment, whatever it might be, without any resistance or avoidance, fear and anxiety dissolve and we feel profound peace deep inside as we are playing the role of observer.          ~ J Krishnamurti  Don't get caught in the past, because the past is gone. Don't get upset about the future, because the future is not yet here. There is only one moment for you to be alive, and that is the present moment ~ The Buddha  Free will is God’s gift to individuals to chart their destiny..If fate decides the circumference of a circle, ‘free will’ is its area –within the area, we can move as freely as we want. ~Raj Bhagavathi INSPIRED HAIKU Live present moment Be not prisoner of the past Past ‘s   done with and gone  *** You have ‘free will’ gift Forgive and forget past things To foster free will  *** Present's only time Past-n-future don't exist They halt pro-action  *** Be not a rea

  QUOTES OF J KRISHNAMURTI ON FEAR   Fear is the destructive energy in man. It withers the mind, it distorts thought, it leads to all kinds of extraordinarily clever and subtle theories, absurd superstitions, dogmas, and beliefs.  ~J.  rishnamurti   A mind that is caught in fear lives in confusion, in conflict, and therefore must be violent, distorted and aggressive . It dare not move away from its own patterns of thinking, and this breeds hypocrisy. Until we are free from fear, climb the highest mountain, invent every kind of God, we will always remain in darkness. ~ J.  Krishnamurti   HAIKU   Non-violence, non-hurt!

  Self-talk by the children in the age group 3 - 4 years is common and it is always as a reaction to the experiences and encounters with elders.  Self-talk is the way one talks to himself or herself. It is a sort of inner voice that combines and thoughts, feelings and words based on self-concept being built with the encounters with others in the family, friends and neighbourhood.
