How often does it happen that one comes across a sentence that
state a fact of life that is so simple and yet so profound that one is amazed
by the inherent wisdom that the words portray. I stumbled upon these two, recently :-
“Life is just an illusion in the sea of constant change and
impermanence, the enactment of past samskaras and the creation of new ones to
be later manifested”.

“All parents damage their children. It cannot be helped.
Youth, like pristine glass, absorb the prints of its handlers. Some parents
smudge, others crack, a few shatter childhoods completely into jagged little
pieces, beyond repair".
