Spiritual Quotes On desire

By having the desire for moksha (ultimate liberation), all other desires simply end up dissolving!

The moment the firm resolve takes place that, ‘Even if this body is chopped into pieces, I will still not stray away from the path of moksha (liberation),’ from that very point, never-ending bliss will arise within. See what happens after letting this body go with the flow for one lifetime.

The Self is the only thing that is worth knowing. Nothing else in this world is worth knowing. The other things which you have known are all relative and they are destructible. If you have a desire for worldly happiness, then you have to know the destructible [relative] religion.
