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
Quotations
Desire
If your kingdom exists for the doctrine and not for fame or desire, then it will be extremely fruitful. If not, its fruit will be misfortune.
-Scriptures "Nagarjuna, Precious Garland 327"
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
The fundamental desire of life is the desire to exist.
-Rabindranath Tagore "Rabindranath Tagore"
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
Whatever we are doing, believing, thinking, desiring, understanding, feeling – if we are not aware of them while aware of ourselves in the present – we are asleep, and all are but embers of a dream.
