Quotations
Desire
Just look at your poor "foresight" and you will realize; the things that you are so
keen to achieve, once accomplished, in a matter of few days begin to pinch you
like a thorn.
-Deep Trivedi
For which of you desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, whether he has enough to complete it?
-Bible "Luke 14.28-31"
Of all longings and desires, there is none stronger than sex. Sex as a desire has no equal. Rely on the Oneness. No one under heaven is able to become a follower of the Way if he accepts dualism.
-Scriptures "Buddhism, Sutra of Forty-two"
"Desire" has a very unique quality. You will never get anything that you desire.

what you desired and what you got, you had never desired.
-Deep Trivedi

The root cause of all the sorrows of life is desire. Desire arises by looking at
things around you. Meaning, the one who keeps his eyes fixed only on himself,
will never be unhappy.
