Quote by Bhagavad Gita

I got this today, they say; tomorrow I shall get that. This wealth is mine, and that will be mine too. I have destroyed my enemies. I shall destroy others too! Am I not like God? I enjoy what I want. I am successful. I am powerful. I am happy. I am rich and well-born. Who is equal to me? I will perform sacrifices and give gifts, and rejoice in my own generosity. This is how they go on, deluded by ignorance. Bound by their greed and entangled in a web of delusion, whirled about by a fragmented mind, they fall into a dark hell. Self-important, obstinate, swept away by the pride of wealth, they ostentatiously perform sacrifices without any regard for their purpose. Egotistical, violent, arrogant, lustful, angry, envious of everyone, they abuse my presence within their own bodies and in the bodies of others.

I got this today, they say; tomorrow I shall get that. This

Summary

This quote highlights the delusional mindset of individuals who become consumed by greed, power, and materialistic pursuits. They perceive themselves as god-like beings, believing that they have the right to possess everything they desire, including wealth, success, and dominance over others. Their actions are driven by ignorance, arrogance, and a fragmented mind, leading them further away from genuine happiness. They prioritize their own self-importance and engage in extravagant acts of generosity solely for their ego's sake, without understanding the true meaning or purpose behind these actions. This mindset ultimately leads them down a path of suffering and darkness, as they disregard the well-being of themselves and others.

For now she need not think of anybody. She coud be herself, by herself. And that was what now she often felt the need of - to think; well not even to think. To be silent; to be alone. All the being and the doing, expansive, glittering, vocal, evaporated; and one shrunk, with a sense of solemnity, to being oneself, a wedge-shaped core of darkness, something invisible to others... and this self having shed its attachments was free for the strangest adventures.
