    Much he learned from her red, smart mouth. Much he learned from her tender, supple hand. Him, who was, re­gard­ing love, still a boy and had a tend­ency to plunge blindly and in­sa­ti­ably into lust like into a bot­tom­less pit, him she taught, thor­oughly start­ing with the ba­sics, about that school of thought which teaches that pleas­ure can­not be taken without giv­ing pleas­ure, and that every ges­ture, every caress, every touch, every look, every spot of the body, how­ever small it was, had its secret, which would bring hap­pi­ness to those who know about it and un­leash it.

    e able to feel and in­hale the one­ness. Slowly this blos­somed in him, was shin­ing back at him from Vas­udeva’s old, child­like face: har­mony, know­ledge of the eternal per­fec­tion of the world, smil­ing, one­ness.
  • Dhruv Sikrihas quoted2 years ago
    Know­ledge can be con­veyed, but not wis­dom. It can be found, it can be lived, it is pos­sible to be car­ried by it, mir­acles can be per­formed with it, but it can­not be ex­pressed in words and taught.
