Krishna Jayanthi
Be fearless and pure; never waver in your determination or your dedication to the spiritual life. Give freely. Be self-controlled, sincere, truthful, loving, and full of the desire to serve…Learn to be detached and to take joy in renunciation. Do not get angry or harm any living creature, but be compassionate and gentle; show good will to all. Cultivate vigor, patience, will, purity; avoid malice and pride. Then, you will achieve your destiny.
~ Krishna
from 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.
~ Krishna
from 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.
~ Krishna
from 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.
~ Krishna
from The Bhagavad Gita
Reshape yourself through the power of your will…
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.
~ Krishna
from The Bhagavad Gita
The awakened sages call a person wise when all his undertakings are free from anxiety about results.
