"Reshape yourself through the power of your will...",br> Those who have conquered themselves...live in peace, alike in cold and heat, pleasure and pain, praise and blame...To such people a clod of dirt, a stone, and gold are the same...Because they are impartial, they rise to great heights.
The Bhagavad Gita
No one should abandon duties because he sees defects in them. Every action, every activity, is surrounded by defects as a fire is surrounded by smoke.
The Bhagavad Gita
It is better to perform one's own duties imperfectly than to master the duties of another. By fulfilling the obligations he is born with, a person never comes to grief.
The Bhagavad Gita
He alone sees truly who sees the Lord the same in every creature... seeing the same Lord everywhere, he does not harm himself or others.
The Bhagavad Gita
