For those who wish to climb the mountain of spiritual awareness, the path is selfless work. For those who have attained the summit of union with the Lord, the path is stillness and peace. – 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
As the blazing fire reduces wood to ashes, similarly, the fire of Self-knowledge reduces all Karma to ashes. – Bhagavad Gita
To the illumined man or woman, a clod of dirt, a stone, and gold are the same. – Bhagavad Gita
But real action is in silent moments.
