For one who has been honored, dishonor is worse than death. – Bhagavad Gita
Just as a fire is covered by smoke and a mirror is obscured by dust, just as the embryo rests deep within the womb, wisdom is hidden by selfish desire. – Bhagavad Gita
Those who consciousness is unified abandon all attachment to the results of action and attain supreme peace. But those whose desires are fragmented, who are selfishly attached to the results of their work, are bound in everything they do. – Bhagavad Gita
To the illumined man or woman, a clod of dirt, a stone, and gold are the same. – Bhagavad Gita
