                Wisdom is to tell the population what they do not know. Leadership makes the people do what they already know but do not follow.

 

                Wisdom instructs, leadership leads.

 

287)         Life sets limits to our exuberance. We can ourself set them reluctantly or with understanding. They are the breakdowns, restraint and culture.

                ÷PmkU öPõÒÍ •i¯õu Esø©ø¯ Enµ •i²®.

 

298)         Decisions taken on the spur of the moment govern the life forever thereafter. Decisions are taken in Time that govern the movements of Space.

                Space is the objective expression of subjective Time.

 

299)         The joy of Self-discovery is greatest when the Self forgets itself. It is also greatest when the differences are greatest making each item unique. Prakriti insists on offering the Purusha the greatest opportunity for unity in diversity.
