The demon of worldly desires is always seeking chances to deceive the mind. If a viper lives in your room and you wish to have a peaceful sleep, you must first chase it out.
More Quotes from Guatama Buddha:
Of all the worldly passions, lust is the most intense. All other worldly passions seem to follow in its train.Guatama Buddha
One may desire a spurious respect and precedence among one's fellow monks, and the veneration of outsiders. 'Both monks and laity should think it was my doing. They should accept my authority in all matters great or small.' This is a fool's way of thinking. His self-seeking and conceit just increase. One way leads to acquisition, the other leads to nirvana. Realizing this a monk, as a disciple of the Buddha, should take no pleasure in the respect of others, but should devote himself to solitude.
Guatama Buddha
The King of Truth is the king of kings. His ancestry is of the purest and the highest. He not only rules the forequarters of the world, but he is also Lord of Wisdom and Protector of all Virtuous Teachings.
Guatama Buddha
Let go the past, let go the future, and let go what is in between, transcending the things of time. With your mind free in every direction, you will not return to birth and aging.
Guatama Buddha
Of all footprints, that of the elephant is supreme. Similarly, of all mindfulness meditations, that on death is supreme.
Guatama Buddha
There is no fire like passion, there is no shark like hatred, there is no snare like folly, there is no torrent like greed.
Guatama Buddha
