“There is no disease as powerful as lust; there is no enemy as strong as illusion or self-love; there is no fire as destructive as anger (due to unfulfilled desires) and there is no superior joy as self-knowledge.”

 

Illusion gives rise to a desire for lust and greed. This desire keeps us unsatisfied no matter how much we try to fulfill it. This dissatisfaction inevitably leads to anger which finally burns our life to ashes. The one and only way to Eternal joy is self-knowledge as taught by Gitaji, Mirabai and the world's other true saints.

-- Swami Radhanandaji

Quotes

“Why does a person, knowing what is truth, hesitate to speak it? Is he ashamed? Ashamed of whom? Whether he is a superior or a subordinate, what matters it? The fact is that habit swallows us all. Let us reflect this and rid ourselves of the bad habit.” – M.K. Gandhi
