Wisdom & Quotes

• Pleasure is the state of being brought about by what you learn;

Learning is the process of entering into experience of this king of pleasure.
No pleasure, no learning.
No learning, no pleasure.
- Song of Joy

• Our own self is the measuring square, and the world or the states are the squares to be measured with it. When we apply our measuring square, we should notice that the incorrectness of the squares means that our measuring square is incorrect. We therefore have to correct this measuring square of ours, rather than look for correctness in the squares.
