I am a voracious reader, so it's difficult for me to give a list of my favourite authors of all time.
Fortunately, I grew up in a traditional family where questioning was encouraged, particularly by my pandit grandfather. We are all voracious readers, seeking knowledge. I learn a lot from discussions with my wife, siblings and parents.
I think it's a fallacy to say that a good book sells itself. It doesn't happen. I'm a voracious reader and I can give you a long list of books which should have been best sellers but they aren't. How can you buy a book if you haven't heard of it?
Weak people never admit that they are responsible for their own state. They always blame either circumstances or others.

No. The purpose is not the destination but the journey itself. Only those who understand this simple truth can experience true happiness.
Nature is not concerned about fairness, it only interested in efficiency.
What is forgotten, however, is that many times the Good we create leads to Evil that will destroy us.
I believe if you want to convey a complex philosophy, its advisable to keep it simple: day-to-day lingo.
Truth is one, though the sages know it as many . God is one, though different religions approach Him differently Call Him Shiva, Vishnu, Allah, Jesus or any other form of God that you believe in . Our paths may be different. Our destination is the same.
Don't turn blue all over now.
Strong people stick to their morals, no matter what the trials and tribulations, Weak people, many a times, do not even realize how low they have sunk.
A man becomes Mahadev only when he fights for good.
It is your karma to fight evil. It doesn't matter if the people that evil is being committed against don't fight back. It doesn't matter if the entire world chooses to look the other way. Always remember this. You don't live with the consequences of other people's karma. You live with the consequences of your own
