The Bhagavad Gita

“It is better to live your own destiny imperfectly than to live an imitation of somebody else's life with perfection.”

“For the senses wander, and when one lets the mind follow them, it carries wisdom away like a windblown ship on the waters.”

“As rivers flow into the ocean but cannot make the vast ocean overflow, so flow the streams of the sense-world into the sea of peace that is the sage.”

“A gift is pure when it is given from the heart to the right person at the right time and at the right place, and when we expect nothing in return”
