"It is more important to repeat a mantra several times with total absorption than to parrot it for hours on end."

Previous Quote

The man who suffers from a sense of sin is suffering from a particular kind of self-love. In all this vast universe the thing that appears to him of most importance is that he himself should be virtuous. It is a grave defect in certain forms of traditional religion that they have encouraged this particular kind of self-absorption.

— Bertrand Russell
