“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
“Find out what it means to die - not physically, that's inevitable - but to die to everything that is known, to die to your family, to your attachments, to all the things that you have accumulated, the known, the known pleasures, the known fears. Die to that every minute and you will see what it means to die so that the mind is made fresh, young, and therefore innocent, so that there is incarnation not in a next life, but the next day.” MindMeanMadeYoungDiesNextPleasureKnownMinutesInnocentInevitableOur FamilyAttachmentNext DayIncarnationNext Life Author:Jiddu Krishnamurti
“As human beings we have the capacity to enjoy limitless, blissful happiness...there is nothing wrong with having pleasures and enjoyments. What is wrong is the confused way we grasp onto these pleasures, turning them from a source of happiness into a source of pain and dissatisfaction. It is grasping and attachment that is the problem, not the pleasure themselves.” WayHumansProblemPainEnjoyHuman BeingsPleasureSourceCapacityEnjoymentConfusedAttachmentLimitlessDissatisfactionGraspingSource Of Happiness Author:Thubten Yeshe
