Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.

The Song Celestial; Or, Bhagavad-Gita (from the Mahabharata) by Sir Edwin Arnold
The elements, the conscious life, the mind,
The unseen vital force, the nine strange gates
Of the body, and the five domains of sense;
Desire, dislike, pleasure and pain, and thought
Deep-woven, and persistency of being;
These all are wrought on Matter by the Soul!
Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse
Siddhartha thought about his situation. Thinking was hard on him, he did not really feel like it, but he forced himself.
