Quote by Abraham Verghese

You live it forward, but understand it backward.

You live it forward, but understand it backward.

Summary

This quote suggests that in life, we must constantly move forward, experiencing and living through each moment. However, it is only when we reflect upon and understand these experiences retrospectively that we gain a deeper understanding and appreciation for them. It highlights the importance of both embracing the present and reflecting on the past, as this combination allows us to learn, grow, and make meaningful sense of our journey.

The notion of this universe, its heavens, hells, and everyth

The notion of this universe, its heavens, hells, and everything within it, as a great dream dreamed by a single being in which all the dream characters are dreaming too, has in India enchanted and shaped the entire civilization. The ultimate dreamer is Vishnu floating on the cosmic Milky Ocean, couched upon the coils of the abyssal serpent Ananta, the meaning of whose name is Unending. In the foreground stand the five Pandava brothers, heroes of the epic Mahabharata, with Draupadi, their wife: allegorically , she is the mind and they are the five senses. They are those whom the dream is dreaming. Eyes open, ready and willing to fight, the youths address themselves to this world of light in which we stand regarding them, where objects appear to be distinct from each other, and an Aristotelian logic prevails, and A is not not-A. Behind them a dream-door has opened, however, to an inward, backward dimension where a vision emerges against darkness...
