-Chanakya "Chanakya"
Longing is like the rosy dawn. After the dawn, out comes the sun. Longing is followed by the vision of God.
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa "Ramakrishna Paramahamsa"
The fundamental desire of life is the desire to exist.
-Rabindranath Tagore "Rabindranath Tagore"
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"
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
"Desire" has a very unique quality. You will never get anything that you desire.
If you do not believe, then peep into your life, you will realize that you never got
what you desired and what you got, you had never desired.
-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"
