Intellect is beyond the physical body

"Intellect and conscience need not have anything to do with pain. Pain is purely physical and need not inhibit the mind." - Vishnu Pendyala
History and the epics give us plenty of examples:
Bheeshma in Mahabharatha gave us the Vishnu Sahasranama lying on a bed of arrows pierced into his body. Jesus did not forget to plead forgiveness for his killers, even when on cross.

Why Patience Pays

"Self-correction is an intrinsic feature of nature's system. Most of the problems waste away with time. We just have to wait with patience." - Vishnu Pendyala

Questions are Unquestionable Keys

"Asking the right questions in the right way is the unquestionable key to everything from unraveling mysteries - to making people work for you - to establishing truth." - Vishnu Pendyala

Had it not been for Yudhishtira's questions to Bheeshma, we would not have the Kali Yuga's salvation mantra - the Vishnu Sahasranama (Thousand Qualities of the God).

Had it not been for the right questions we ask the fraudsters who approach us, we'd have been doomed in the dark long ago.
