“No one can liberate you, for no one has bound you; you hold on to the nettle of worldly pleasures and you weep for pain. The kite is pursued by the crows so long as it carries the fish in its beak, it twists and turns in the sky trying to last and it drops the fish. That moment it is free. So give up the attachment to the senses; then grief and worry can harass you no more.” GivingTryingLongMomentsPainLastsTurnsPleasureGriefWorrySkyGiving UpBoundsFishesSensesCarrieAttachmentThat MomentWorldlyTwistsPursuedCrowKitesBeaksTwists And TurnsNettlesWorldly Pleasures Author:Sathya Sai Baba
“To burn always with this hard, gemlike flame, to maintain this ecstasy, is success in life. ... While all melts under our feet, we may well grasp at any exquisite passion, or any contribution to knowledge that seems by a lifted horizon to set the spirit free for a moment, or any stirring of the senses, strange dyes, strange colours, and curious odours, or work of the artist's hands, or the face of one's friend.” WellsMayHardMomentsHandsSeemsFacesSpiritArtistPassionFeetStrangeSensesCuriousFlamesContributionColourHorizonEcstasySuccess In LifeExquisiteStirring Book:The Renaissance: Studies in Art and Poetry Source: The Renaissance: Studies in Art and Poetry
“Speak not of guilt, speak not of responsibility. When the Regiment of the Senses parades by, with music, and with banners; when the senses shiver and shudder, it is only a fool and and an irreverent person that will keep his distance, who will not embrace the good cause, marching towards the conquest of pleasures and passions. All of morality's laws - poorly understood and applied - are nil and cannot stand even for a moment, when the Regiment of the Senses parades by, with music, and with banners.” PersonsMomentsLawPassionSpeakCausesPleasureResponsibilityFoolMoralityUnderstoodEmbraceDistanceGuiltSensesConquestParadesBannerShiverGood CausesIrreverent Author:C.P.
