Quotations
Desire
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa "Ramakrishna Paramahamsa"
Our aspirations, our affections, and our desires are turned towards the wrong things. And only when we turn them towards the right things will things get better.
-John Buchanan "John Buchanan"
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"
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.
-Deep Trivedi
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"
If you desire to be pure, have firm faith, and slowly go on with your devotional practices without wasting your energy in useless scriptural discussions and arguments.
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa "Ramakrishna Paramahamsa"
A successful life is the one which has no desires left in the mind at the time of
death.
-Deep Trivedi
