A Neuroscientist can be the smartest man (or woman) on earth in his understanding of the human mind. He may know all the neurochemical changes underlying an outrageous behavior of a person. But when he gets mad himself, very little of his own scientific intellect would actually come in handy for him to control his rage. The virtue of self-control is a skill, which requires practice, regardless of all the neurobiological expertise in the world.

The salvation of the species, lies in knowing the Self – it lies in contributing to the wellbeing of the Selves of others.

Be the help you seek from others.

The real virtue is not to be free from desires but to be content with what you have.
