And those who were seen dancing
were thought to be insane by those
who could not hear the music.

About All the Right Moves
I know we’ve got it good
But they got it made
And the grass is getting greener each day
I know things are looking up
But soon they’ll take us down
before anybody’s knowing our name
OneRepublic – All The Right Moves
About the End of the Journey in Indian Tradition
He who has not right understanding and whose mind is never steady is not the ruler of his life, like a bad driver with wild horses.
But he who has right understanding and whose mind is ever steady is the ruler of his life, like a driver with well-trained horses.
He who has not right understanding, is careless and never pure, reaches not the End of the journey, but wanders on from death to death.
But he who has right understanding, is careful and ever pure, reaches the End of the journey, from which he never returns.
About the Upanishads
There is the path of joy and there is the path of pleasure. The two paths lie in front of man. Pondering on them, the wise chooses the path of joy: the fool takes the path of pleasure.
Katha Upanishad
About Waiting for Release
If there were water
And no rock
If there were rock
And also water
And water
A spring
A pool among the rock
If there were the sound of water only
Not the cicada
And dry grass singing
But sound of water over a rock
Where the hermit-thrush sings in the pine trees
Drip drop drip drop drop drop drop
But there is no water
T.S. Eliot – The Waste Land
About the Question of Time
Do I dare
Disturb the universe?
In a minute there is time
For decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse.
T.S. Eliot – The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock
