Quotations
Desire
-Bible "Luke 14.28-31"
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.
-Thomas Stephen Szasz "Thomas. M. Easley"
"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
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"
A successful life is the one which has no desires left in the mind at the time of
death.
-Deep Trivedi
Longing is like the rosy dawn. After the dawn, out comes the sun. Longing is followed by the vision of God.

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"
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"
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
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.
