Quotations
Desire
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa "Ramakrishna Paramahamsa"
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"
Rituals that are performed with the desire of attaining salvation also help a man to achieve growth and progress in this world.
-Vedas "Sam Veda"
In this world, if desires could bring any result - then there is no dearth of desires
in anyone.
-Deep Trivedi
O Lord! I may have increased desire for the objective world like other people but with this difference that I shall look upon it as Thyself without any idea of duality.
-A Spiritual Leader "Utpaladeva"
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"
A successful life is the one which has no desires left in the mind at the time of
death.
-Deep Trivedi
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"
"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
