Dr.T.V.Rao MD10Retaliation is not SolutionOne who is injured ought not to return the injury, for on no account can it be right to do an injustice; and it is not right to return an injury, or to do evil to any man, however much we have suffered from him.

Dr.T.V.Rao MD11God knows what you NeedOur prayers should be for blessings in general, for God knows best what is good for us.

Dr.T.V.Rao MD12What is True KnowledgeTo know, is to know that you know nothing. That is the meaning of true knowledge

Dr.T.V.Rao MD13What is True WisdomTrue wisdom comes to each of us when we realize how little we understand about life, ourselves, and the world around us

Dr.T.V.Rao MD14Nothing truly brings HappinessIf you don't get what you want, you suffer; if you get what you don't want, you suffer; even when you get exactly what you want, you still suffer because you can't hold on to it forever. Your mind is your predicament. It wants to be free of change. Free of pain, free of the obligations of life and death. But change is law and no amount of pretending will alter that reality."Dr.T.V.Rao MD15No limit for Contentment He who is not contented with what he has, would not be contented with what he would like to have

Dr.T.V.Rao MD21Inspiration is creativeI decided that it was not wisdom that enabled poets to write their poetry, but a kind of instinct or inspiration, such as you find in seers and prophets who deliver all their sublime messages without knowing in the least what they mean.

Dr.T.V.Rao MD22Aim for True WisdomTrue wisdom comes to each of us when we realize how little we understand about life, ourselves, and the world around us
