Greatest Philosophies...

At this point when there seems to be a roller-coaster-ride-like of events and happenings all over the world, with even the most unlikely already happening, what do you think was the best ever philosophy told? It could help knowing about it, you know! Lessons might be learned and questions might be answered...

Mine would be "Just because you're afraid doesn't mean you can't be brave."

I got it from the cartoon Johnny Bravo. Laughing out loud

With the philosophy of Confucius, "Do what to others what you want others to do unto you.", I'm just wondering what the marriage of a sadist and masochist would be...(mental picture)...

OM Asato ma sadgamaya, tamaso ma jyotirgamaya, mrityor mamritam gamaya
" OM Lead me from falsehood to truth, from darkness to light, from death to immortality."

Though One, Brahman is the cause of the many.
Brahman is the unborn (aja) in whom all existing things abide. The One manifests as the many, the formless putting on forms. (Rig Veda)

Behold but One in all things; it is the second that leads you astray. (Kabir)

The word Brahman means growth and is suggestive of life, motion, progress. (Radhakrishnan)

Hindu cosmology is non-dualistic. Everything that is is Brahman. Brahman is the eternal Now, and in eternity there is no before or after, for everything is everywhere, always. To use the words of Pascal 'it is a circle the center of which is everywhere and the circumference nowhere.' (Sudhakar S.D, 1988)
