Quotes
Memorable Quotes from "The Revolution"
"From fish to man there has been evolution. But from man to a Buddha, from man to a Christ, from man to a Kabir, it is not evolution, it is revolution—the revolution of the soul."
Translation (Sinhala): "මාළු සිට මිනිසා දක්වා විකාශනයක් තිබුණි. නමුත් මිනිසා සිට බුද්ධාණන් වෙත, මිනිසා සිට ක්රිස්තුස් වෙත, මිනිසා සිට කබීර් වෙත, එය විකාශනයක් නොවේ, එය ආත්මයේ විප්ලවයකි."
Translation (Tamil): "மீனிலிருந்து மனிதனாக வளர்ச்சி ஏற்பட்டுள்ளது. ஆனால் மனிதனிலிருந்து புத்தர், மனிதனிலிருந்து கிறிஸ்து, மனிதனிலிருந்து கபீர், இது வளர்ச்சி அல்ல, இது ஆன்மாவின் புரட்சி."
"The only revolution that can bring about a total transformation is the inner revolution."
Translation (Sinhala): "සම්පූර්ණ පරිවර්තනයක් ඇති කළ හැකි එකම විප්ලවය අභ්යන්තර විප්ලවයයි."
Translation (Tamil): "முழுமையான மாற்றத்தை ஏற்படுத்தக்கூடிய ஒரே புரட்சி உள் புரட்சியே."
"A new vision is needed in the world—a new vision which will be as scientific as possible and as religious as possible. That I call revolution."
Translation (Sinhala): "ලෝකයට නව දර්ශනයක් අවශ්ය වේ—සම්භාව්ය ලෙස විද්යාත්මක සහ සම්භාව්ය ලෙස ආගමික වන නව දර්ශනයක්. මම එය විප්ලවය ලෙස හඳුන්වමි."
Translation (Tamil): "உலகிற்கு புதிய பார்வை தேவையாகிறது—அதிகமாக அறிவியல் மற்றும் அதிகமாக மதபோதனை கொண்ட புதிய பார்வை. அதை நான் புரட்சி என்று அழைக்கிறேன்."
