The Philosopher
“Philosophy is not the concern of those who pass though Divinity and Greats, but of those who pass through birth and death.

"This body will be dissolved
and no amount of sacrifice will save it.
Therefore, seek thou the life that is of the mind.
Where self is, truth cannot be;
yet when truth comes, self will disappear.
Therefore, let thy mind rest in the truth;
propagate the truth, put thy whole will in it, and let it spread. In the truth thou shalt live for ever." - From The Gospel of Buddha
