Quotations
Desire
-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"
Who realises all the happiness he desires? Everything is in the hands of God. Therefore, one should learn contentment.
-Chanakya "Chanakya"
"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
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"
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"
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"
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
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"
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.
