The senses have been conditioned by attraction to the pleasant and aversion to the unpleasant: a man should not be ruled by them; they are obstacles in his path. – Bhagavad Gita
Whatever I am offered in devotion with a pure heart — a leaf, a flower, fruit, or water — I accept with joy. – Bhagavad Gita
As a man can drink water from any side of a full tank, so the skilled theologian can wrest from any scripture that which will serve his purpose. – Bhagavad Gita
For one who has been honored, dishonor is worse than death. – Bhagavad Gita
