Quotes From "The Oath Of The Vayuputras" By Amish Tripathi

We don't become gods because we think we are gods. That is only a sign of ego. We become gods when we realise that a part of the universal divinity lives within us; when we understand our role in this great world and when we strive to fulfil that role. That makes you a God. And remember, gods don't fail. You cannot fail. Amish Tripathi

Evil is never in a rush. It creeps up slowly. It doesn't hide, but confronts you in broad daylight. It gives decades of warnings, even centuries at times. Time is never the problem when you battle Evil. The problem is the will to fight it. Amish Tripathi

It's our greed to extract more and more from good that turns it into evil. Amish Tripathi

What is forgotten, however, is that many times the Good we create leads to Evil that will destroy us. Amish Tripathi

You have behaved in an exemplary manner until now. Even when you could have gained by doing something wrong, you refrained from doing so. You didn't fall prey to the logic of doing a small wrong for the sake of the greater good; of the ends justifying the means. That takes moral courage. Amish Tripathi

When the gardeners are good, the flower will bloom. Amish Tripathi

Vengeance is waste of time Amish Tripathi

A lot of people are capable, Neelkanth. What makes a capable person truly dangerous is his conviction. Amish Tripathi

One makes one's own luck, but you have to give the universe the opportunity to help you. Amish Tripathi

If the universe is trying to maintain balance, we must aid this by ensuring that Good is not enjoyed excessively. Or else the universe will re-balance itself by creating Evil to counteract Good. That is the purpose of Evil: it balances the Good. Amish Tripathi

Often, our immediate reaction to a sudden crisis help us save ourselves. Our response to gradual crises that creep up upon us, on the other hand, may be so adaptive as to ultimately lead to self-destruction. Amish Tripathi
