“We Orientals tend to seek our satisfactions in whatever surroundings we happen to find ourselves, to content ourselves with things as they are; and so darkness causes us no discontent, we resign ourselves to it as inevitable. If light is scarce, then light is scarce; we will immerse ourselves in the darkness and there discover its own particular beauty. But the progressive Westerner is determined always to better his lot. From candle to oil lamp, oil lamp to gaslight, gaslight to electric light—his quest for a brighter light never ceases, he spares no pains to eradicate even the minutest shadow.”

“Actually the choice is simple. When your child decides to love a new person, you can either see it as a chance to hate some people - the person they choose and their families. However, you can also see it as a chance to love some more people. And since when did loving more become a bad thing?”

“Culture is critical in marriage because in a real sense, culture is the behavioral expression of one's values, appreciations, tastes, and relational style in both simple and serious matters of life. Add to this the dimensions of language and cultural memory, and you have worlds within worlds. In effect, culture provides the how and why of an individual's behavior.”

“From Ape to Human (The Sonnet)
To label a spirit is to cripple a spirit,
What we call cultural imprints are prison.
Society of such culture is no human society,
but merely an overglorified animal kingdom.
Sure, the culture we're born in are part of us,
But it must never take over human identity.
That's how heritage facilitates bias-n-hate,
And culture becomes excuse for inhumanity.
Call it advaita, nirvana or humanity,
the purpose is to surpass all divide.
Anything that distances mind from mind,
must never be defended as cultural pride.
Mission is, not to remove cultural imprints,
But to be civilized enough to surpass them.
Only then can we be the bridge of benevolence,
Only then the glorified ape shall emerge as human.”
