BETTER THAN A THOUSAND
If a man should conquer in battle a thousand and a thousand more, and another man should conquer himself, his would be the greater victory, because the greatest of victories is the victory over oneself; and neither the gods in heaven above nor the demons down below can turn into defeat the victory of such a man.
Better than a hundred years lived in ignorance, without contemplation, is one single day of life lived in wisdom and in deep contemplation.
Better than a hundred years not seeing one's own immortality is one single day of life if one sees one's own immortality.
Better than a hundred years not seeing the Path supreme is one single day of life if one sees the Path supreme.
