Bhagavad-Gita Quotes on Desire (5 Quotes)


    Governing sense, mind and intellect, intent on liberation, free from desire, fear and anger, the sage is forever free.

    When a man dwells on the objects of sense, he creates an attraction for them attraction develops into desire, and desire breeds anger.

    Just as a fire is covered by smoke and a mirror is obscured by dust, just as the embryo rests deep within the womb, wisdom is hidden by selfish desire.

    Seeing fathers-in-law, all those kinsmen, and other dear ones standing in the ranks of the two armies, Arjuna was overcome with great compassion and sorrowfully said O Krishna, seeing my kinsmen standing with a desire to fight, My limbs fail and my mouth becomes dry. My body quivers and my hairs stand on end.

    This has been gained by me today, I shall fulfill this desire, this is mine and this wealth also shall be mine in the future.
