theist Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 I really like this word quintessence. Main Entry: quin·tes·sence 1 : the fifth and highest element in ancient and medieval philosophy that permeates all nature and is the substance composing the celestial bodies 2 : the essence of a thing in its purest and most concentrated form 3 : the most typical example or representative SB 1.1.11: There are many varieties of scriptures, and in all of them there are many prescribed duties, which can be learned only after many years of study in their various divisions. Therefore, O sage, please select the essence of all these scriptures and explain it for the good of all living beings, that by such instruction their hearts may be fully satisfied. Does the SB has it's on quintessence? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
